You probably noticed that Missy has a growth on top of her head above her left eye. A few days after we brought her home we took her to the vet to make sure everything was okay and get a biopsy on the growth. The results came back and “yea, it’s not cancer”! What it is, is very rare, so rare that I’ve plugged it into Google in as many different permutations as I could think of and have so far come up with nothing, lots of things that aren’t it though. Medically speaking; Inflamed cystic slightly proliferative sweat glands with associated dermal inflammation. She’s now taking prednisone. We’re hoping it will shrink the growth and alleviate the discomfort.
Other than that she’s healthy as a horse and a barrel of laughs. We’ve learned that if we want to sleep past 3:00 AM, we need to play with her before bedtime and tire her out. Once she’s tired out she’ll curl up on the bed and sleep most of the night.

Our sweet little girl has a name, it’s Missy. She is very smart, fun and affectionate. We feel very blessed to have found her.
We almost didn’t adopt her. One of the volunteers had steered us to a different cat. We were too late to adopt that evening so we had to come back the next day. That night I had a dream. In that dream I was told, we were planning to adopt the wrong cat. We had to adopt the little cat in the cage across from the one we had planned to adopt. My dream was very insistent so the next morning I told Chris, we couldn’t adopt “Betty” (which was the name of the cat the volunteer had directed us to). We had to adopt “Lily” (now you see why we had to change her name). We’re both so happy we listened to my dream. Missy is definitely the right cat for us.
These little animals are so sweet and need a home with people who will love them. Some of them are here because their owner had to move, died, didn’t want them anymore, whatever. Once they find themselves in the pound, they spend their lives in a cage hoping someone will give them a forever home. This shelter is NOT a no kill shelter.
