My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Please Contact Foster At nancygrios11@gmail.com

Meleys is a 5-year-old girl who has already known what it feels like to be left behind. Abandoned alongside seven other feline friends, she never lost her gentle spirit. She carries herself with quiet resilience, asking for very little—just a safe place and someone to love.

She’s the kind of cat who doesn’t demand attention, but is always nearby. Content to sit beside you, share a room, or curl up in a quiet corner, she brings a calm, comforting presence to any home. She’s playful in the sweetest way, yet wonderfully relaxed, and she’s generally very quiet. She also does beautifully around dogs, making her an easy fit for many families.

Because she’s an adult, she’s been overlooked—but adult cats love just as deeply, and often more patiently. She deserves a family who will see past her age and choose her, not because she’s flashy or tiny, but because she’s loving, loyal, and ready for her forever home.

She’s been waiting. Maybe she’s been waiting for you.
