Her silky soft fur and bright eyes, and the love shining out of them belies the sadness she's been feeling since her owner dumped her in front of a local vet's office.

A lot of vets would have picked up the phone and called Animal Control to come and get her, but there was something about her, the way she reached her paw out of the small carrier, the way she mewed out to the office staff, that made them try desperately to find her a home.

Staying at the vet's office is not an option for much longer. Missy Mew needs a forever home, and a family that won't leave her behind when times get hard.

You can tell she wants to be with people, she wants to be petted and loved and cared for like she was in the past. What happened to her beloved family, the people she sometimes looks for when new people walk in the door?

Missy doesn't know, doesn't understand. What she does know is that she yearns for that feeling again--the feeling of being loved and of loving in return.

Missy likes dogs. One of the vet techs took her home, and Missy got along fine with her dogs. Missy is gentle, likes to play, and is eager to get out of the cage!

Missy was declawed on all four paws. It's a sad thing that happened to her, but it's good fortune for you, if you're looking for a hardly-ever-sheds, won't tear up your furniture kind of love muffin!
