In the shelter’s words

DOB 5/1/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Milly, a very sweet, sassy, and playful “tuxedo torbie” (tabby/ tortoiseshell with a white vest and mittens) who loves to give Foster Meowmy kisses! Torbies look like fallen leaves because, whereas a tortoiseshell has black mixed with apricot patches, I have brown tabby mixed with orange tabby patches. The result is really quite colorful and striking -- especially when combined with my white tuxedo markings! One cold, rainy night when my sister Rye and I were six weeks old, Foster Meowmy found us with no momma in sight as we cowered and shook, hiding underneath her air conditioner. We’d been fighting to survive the hardscrabble life, so needless to say, we were relieved when she brought us to the safe haven of her home. Although we were both initially overwhelmed to be in our new family environment, I emerged as the bold, savvy leader, and Rye as my shy follower. Foster Meowmy is an experienced cat lady who knew to allow us to warm up to her at our own pace, and sure enough, it wasn’t long before first I and then Rye realized that hoomans are the source of much love, attention, and yummy food/ treats. Rye and I spend our days tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling, and when we’re exhausted we collapse in a kitten puddle. I love interactive play sessions with Foster Meowmy as she swirls the wand toy over my head, and then I snuggle in her lap. Although I get along great with the male resident cat, my ideal home will be calm and without kids or female cats. Now I’m ready to bring my sassy “torbie-tude” and kitten playfulness to spice up my forever family with joy and happiness. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! Although we’re available separately, Rye and I think it would be the cat’s meow if we could be adopted together. That way we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0621-S050 Milly’s $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.
