will be happiest in a quiet and
relaxing home where she can
have you all to herself. This
confi dent and friendly feline
prefers the company of humans
and would do best if she is the
only cat in the home as well.

this exciting world with her new
family, so if you are looking for
a wonderful kitty with a loving
personality then please don’t
keep Missy waiting!
