OKEECHOBEE - Missy is between 4 and 6 years old. She is a very sweet and loving cat. Her owner has been in the hospital for several months and is now in a rehab facility. She is no longer able to care for Missy, and is seeking a loving home for her. She does not know how Missy would do with children, because she has not been around children while living with her owner. She did have a dog sister though, and got along well with her. Her owner does not know if she has been fixed, but said she has been outside many times and has never gotten pregnant while living with her. If interested, please call Donna at 863-801-9031.
