Kitten

Misty, a five-month-old kitten, was caught in a trap as part of a trap-neuter-return project in Jamaica, Queens. While in the cage she began purring and kneading, showing her friendly nature. A volunteer, already caring for many cats, chose to keep her instead of releasing her back to the streets.

Misty was spayed, fully vaccinated, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She is healthy, affectionate, and playful, enjoying ball towers, wand toys, and the company of other cats. She bonds closely with her foster brother Pepita and loves food, growling only while eating.

Now in foster care, Misty is ready for a permanent home. She is comfortable with other cats and dogs and enjoys a warm bed and a lap to purr on. The rescue notes that she has been waiting longer than expected for a forever home.
