Meet Ms. Kitty/ spca rescue

My sis in law many years ago owned a chocolate point siamese for 17 yrs, she loved that cat, well she moved to my city, retired from foster care and decided it was time to indulger herself with another. She called me up and said "ok Shelley, everyone says you're great at finding rescue cats needing homes, find me one" *LOL* easier said than done, I've haunted rescues, spca's and "getting rid of our pet" ads. Finally after 3 months of searching I found "Ms Kitty", she was found abandoned in the east end of our city, picked up by our wonderful spca and the search for an owner was on. None was found, ms. kitty is approximately 18 months old, declawed (yep and outside) spayed and a real sweetie, she rolls over to be brushed, is clean in the house, follows my sis in law around like a puppy would and is so playful.

Imagine tossing this beauty outside.


she later sat quietly on my lap being stroked for almost an hour!

What a beauty . Looks like she has some himy in her with those tiny ears, round face, short legs and of course that beautiful fur.

Of course if I had more pics I would be able to see her better hint, hint.

Yes, your SPCA is wonderful, the staff were so wonderful when I adopted Jasper there.

She is gorgeous. Looks a bit annoyed at being photographed (may be the red and blue eyes, but they look cool).

Yes, I would also say, pretty close to purebred, if not absolutely.

Poor kitty, wonder what happened to her owners :sad:.

Just let your sister know that they are prone to kidney disease and eye disease. I have Puddles eyes checked annually by the vet and she is, of course, on a quality canned diet.


Himies are very, very gentle kitties.

What a beauty!!! It's clear she has landed herself in a great home!!

I would not have been able to scour sites. I'd want to bring every single kitty home with me.

Wow, what a pretty cat! I can't imagine dumping any animal, much less a declawed kitty! *sigh* Sometimes I really hate humans.

Awesome Melinda Ms Kitty is beautiful! Proof many purebred are in our SPCA's and rescues. I tell everyone keep going back if you have your heart set on a particular breed or call the rescues and give your contact info

That's how I got my Brandi, I waited I believe two months then got a call from the rescue

Yep I think we need more pictures it's hard to tell if she's persian or siamese

I don't think she's Siamese,more than likely Persian,with that face
She's a lucky kitty to get to stay with Melinda

Ms. Kitty is Himalayan. It's a breed with a Persian body type & coat, but with the "pointed" colour pattern of a Siamese. Yes they are sweet quiet cats. They make lovely pets tho, they do require quite a bit of grooming. Her pic looks like someone groomed her. She's beautiful!
