Once, a lovely girl was a cherished companion, bringing joy to her owners. However, perhaps not as much as they had hoped, or for some other reason, Melissa was given up to an animal shelter.

A stunning cat with a complex personality

Melissa prefers to stay in her cozy little house and venture outside as rarely as possible. Due to her character, she doesn't enjoy noisy playtime with her furry companions. She gets along well with other kitties but generally chooses solitude. This sweet girl simply needs a little more time to adjust and understand that the worst days of her life are behind her. She has mastered the litter box and scratching post. Melissa can be adopted into any family, even one with other animals, but she would thrive best in a home with children aged 10 and above.

Come meet Melissa

Perhaps in your home, this lovely lady will overcome her fears, warm up, and become affectionate and gentle. Share Melissa's story on social media, or help with the promotion costs on the TEDDYFOOD website. The more people who learn about Melissa’s journey, the faster this sweet cat will find her forever family and earn that coveted "Already Home" badge.
