From the Foster Family: Misty is a gentle, soulful young girl looking for a quiet home where she can truly shine. While she might take a moment to hide when you first meet her, don't let her shyness fool you—underneath her quiet exterior is a deeply sweet, affectionate soul waiting for the right person to earn her trust. Misty is low-maintenance, polite, and very peaceful. She takes a little extra time to adjust to new environments, but watching her blossom into a brave, loving companion is the most rewarding experience. She is never aggressive—when she feels overwhelmed, she simply retreats to a safe, cozy spot to observe until she feels ready. A quiet, low-traffic home (or apartment) without loud noises or unpredictable commotion. Patient adopters who understand that trust takes time and are excited to celebrate her small daily victories. She would do wonderfully as a solo kitty receiving all your calm love, or in a home with another very calm, non-dominant cat who can show her the ropes. Her current foster home has grade-school age kids and multiple cats and Misty does well here too.

About Me: I might look a little quiet at first, and I might hide behind the curtain when we first meet. The big world can feel a bit overwhelming to a gentle girl like me! But if you give me a little time and a lot of patience, I promise to show you just how sweet I truly am. I’m not a wild zoomie-cat or a loud talker. Instead, I’m a quiet observer who prefers soft blankets, sunny windows, and gentle moments. Once I know I’m safe with you, my brave side comes out—I’ll walk over, give you a tiny head-butt, and turn on my soft, happy purr while you scratch behind my ears. I love having a plush bed or a quiet corner where I can recharge my courage. I’d love to be your one-and-only princess, or live with another super calm, friendly cat who can show me the ropes.
