In the adoption area, there were many energetic and bouncy kittens. In a corner cage, which didn\u2019t face out towards the public, was Misty. Scott checked on her every visit, hoping she\u2019d find a nice home.<\/p>\n<p>Misty was still in the adoption area after J.C. Kitty passed away. Scott checked on her but told himself we couldn\u2019t deal with a new kitty, new job, and moving.<\/p>\n<p>When Scott went to the store for some Feliway to help Pumpkin Kitty, he noticed an employee was removing Misty\u2019s name tag from the cage. Scott asked if she had found a new home. \u201cNo. She\u2019s been with us for as long as the Humane Society allows.\u201d We have no idea what the Humane Society would do next. Scott worried might have been the end for Misty unless\u2026 well, unless we saved her! (PetSmart tries to relocate cats, with a no-kill policy whenever possible.)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_198\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-198\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017.jpg?resize=317%2C476&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Misty in First PA House\" width=\"317\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017-scaled.jpg?resize=420%2C630&amp;ssl=1 420w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017-scaled.jpg?resize=839%2C1260&amp;ssl=1 839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017-scaled.jpg?resize=1023%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tameri.com\/purrkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/11\/Misty_100_2017-scaled.jpg?w=1705&amp;ssl=1 1705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-198\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Misty in First PA House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Right there, Scott called Susan and said he was adopting Misty Kitty.

Misty is our \u201clittle wiggle\u201d kitty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Arrival and Happy Dance<\/h2>\n<p>When Misty arrived, she hid in a small closet in the front bathroom, but only for a couple of days. Soon, she couldn\u2019t contain her happiness. She would circle Scott and climb across his lap, unable to sit still long. She purred constantly. She was thrilled to have a new home.<\/p>\n<h3>Little Wiggle<\/h3>\n<p>Misty is our Little Wiggle. She has a curious walk that makes her butt wiggle.<\/p>\n<p>Though they could never replace \u201cThe Girls\u201d we loved, we have noticed that Misty and Lucy resemble Mimi and Jordan. Misty is similar to Mimi, sharing a willingness to be held and cuddled. Misty loves receiving attention.<\/p>\n<h2>Changes in Habits<\/h2>\n<p>In late August 2023, Misty started getting pickier about foods. By mid-September, we were offering her little buffets of wet food, hoping she&#8217;d eat a little every few hours. Her weight fell quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saving Misty When Scott first moved to Pennsylvania, he found a PetSmart store near the university where he was going to be teaching.
