Story
Hi! My name is Georgia. I'm very pretty and very friendly, but I've got a bad food allergy that causes me to be itchy and groom myself too much. The shelter is helping me figure out what I can eat, but it seems like I'll need to be on a very specific diet (possibly forever). Please feel free to call, email, or stop by the shelter if you'd like to meet with me in person!

Story
Meet Zanna – a striking grey torti with a silken coat and mesmerizing green eyes that seem to glow in the sunlight. This beautiful girl has a big personality and knows exactly what she likes: peace, quiet, and a great window view. Zanna is a chatty companion who loves to strike up a conversation while she lounges in the sun or watches birds flutter by from her favorite perch. She’s independent yet affectionate on her own terms, making her a perfect fit for someone who appreciates a cat with a strong sense of self. She would thrive best as the only pet in an adults-only home, where she can enjoy her space without the stress of other cats, dogs, or small children. Give her a calm environment, a cozy perch by the window, and someone to chat with, and Zanna will reward you with her loyal companionship and quiet charm. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind cat to share your space and your heart, Zanna just might be your perfect match. Come meet her at the Second Cup Cat Cafe. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
This gentle beauty is Purely—a tabby with a stunning coat of white, black, and brown, big expressive eyes, and a sleek tail that ends in a perfect little curl. Thought to be sisters, Purely and Truly were found abandoned in a kennel and rescued by police in Mission. Now safe and cared for, Purely is ready to find a forever home where she can feel truly secure. Purely is a shy girl at first, but don’t let that fool you—once she feels comfortable, she’s a total snuggle bug. She loves cozying up in quiet spots, watching the world go by through the window, and keeping an eye on her favorite backyard birds. She's good with kids and thrives in calm, gentle environments where her sweetness has room to shine. If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion who will quietly win your love and reward your patience with cuddles, Purely may be your perfect match. Come meet her at the Second Cup Cat Cafe. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Binx is a charming, affectionate kitty with a heart as warm as a sunbeam! Despite a rough start—he was found abandoned in a parking lot—his spirit remains unshaken. Binx is a true cuddle connoisseur, happiest when snuggled up with his foster mom, soaking in all the love and attention he can get. His sweet, loyal nature makes him an incredible companion who will quickly steal your heart. Binx prefers to be the center of attention and would thrive as the only pet in his forever home—don’t worry, he’s all the love you’ll ever need! He is FIV+, but don’t let that deter you! Most FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives with proper care. This just means regular vet visits and keeping him in good health are extra important. If you're looking for a snuggly, loving companion who will bring endless warmth and happiness into your life, Binx might just be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give him the forever home he deserves? ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Hey!

If youandamp;#39;ve ever dreamed of having a little orange parrot-cat&#44 I might just be your girl.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m super friendly and love attention&#44 but Iandamp;#39;ll be honest-sometimes I get a little too excited and forget my manners. Itandamp;#39;s not personal&#44 I promise! I just need a home that understands that sometimes orange cats run on pure enthusiasm. Because of that&#44 Iandamp;#39;d do best with kids over 12 who can respect my boundaries and give me space when I need it.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;If youandamp;#39;re looking for a hilarious&#44 affectionate&#44 slightly mischievous sidekick who will keep you entertained and occasionally sit on your shoulder like a pirateandamp;#39;s best friend... well&#44 youandamp;#39;ve found me.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Orange&#44 opinionated&#44 and one of a kind-andlt;br/andgt;Mandy

Story
Meet Paisley — a playful, affectionate girl who is deeply bonded with her sister Penny. These two are inseparable and must be adopted as a pair! Paisley and Penny do everything together — they wrestle, chase, tumble, and then curl up to nap in a purring pile. If Paisley ever gets separated from her sister, she lets out a loud, expressive yowl until Penny comes running to find her. It’s the sweetest bond, and they bring out the best in each other. They’re curious, love to explore, and enjoy short cuddle sessions with their people. Both girls are excellent with the litter box and surprisingly tolerant of inquisitive dogs who get a little too close. They go wild for toys like springs, tunnels, and anything they can bat across the floor. Because they're so interested in the outdoors, they’ll need a home that’s very secure — door-watchers only, please! These girls are too curious to risk a dash outside. If you're looking for a dynamic duo that will keep you smiling with their antics and melt your heart with their bond, Paisley and Penny might be your perfect pair. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.

Meet Catfish – resilient, radiant, and ready for her forever home 💚 Catfish is more than just a pretty face—though with her striking grey and white tabby coat and luminous green eyes, she’s certainly that too. This special girl was rescued in rough shape by the kind folks at Mid-America Bully Breed Rescue and spent two weeks at the vet fighting to get better. Thankfully, with the help of a devoted foster and the compassion of Melissa’s Second Chances, Catfish made a full recovery and is now charming visitors at the Second Cup Cat Café. Despite her rocky start, Catfish is an affectionate and gentle soul who’s not only great with people—she’s also comfortable around dogs. She’s proof that kindness and care can bring out the best in even the most vulnerable animals. If you’re looking for a cat who’s both sweet and resilient, Catfish might just be your perfect match. Stop by the Second Cup Cat Café and meet her—you might just fall in love. ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
