She simply loves having one close, and watching her proudly carry it around is enough to make anyone smile.<br/>Mistee is a 2 year old tortoiseshell beauty with a courageous spirit, an adorable dash of tortie sass, and a heart that's finally learning what it feels like to be safe. Life hasn't always been kind to her, but despite everything she's been through, Mistee has never lost her playful personality or her determination to enjoy every single day.<br/>When Mistee arrived at DPS Rescue, she was carrying more than just her beloved toys.<br/>She had suffered a severe eye injury that needed immediate veterinary care. Thanks to wonderful medical treatment—and plenty of TLC—she has healed beautifully. Today, she's healthy, happy, and ready to leave that chapter behind her forever.<br/>Now she's focused on much more important things.<br/>Like deciding which toy deserves today's attention.<br/>Or finding the perfect sunny spot for an afternoon nap.<br/>Or reminding everyone that she is, in fact, the official supervisor of the household.<br/>Being a tortie, Mistee comes with just enough 'tortitude' to keep life interesting.<br/>She knows what she likes.<br/>She knows what she doesn't.<br/>And she isn't shy about expressing her opinions.<br/>But that's exactly what makes tortoiseshell cats so wonderfully entertaining.<br/>One minute she's chasing a toy mouse across the room like she's training for the Feline Olympics.<br/>The next she's curled up peacefully beside you, happily purring with her favorite toy tucked safely under one paw.<br/>Mistee has shown she can happily live with another cat, especially with thoughtful introductions. She enjoys companionship but also appreciates having her own space when she wants it. She's independent enough to entertain herself but affectionate enough to become a wonderful companion for someone looking for a cat with real personality.<br/>If Mistee could design her dream home, it wouldn't be complicated.<br/>A basket overflowing with toys.<br/>A cozy bed.<br/>A sunny window for neighborhood watch duties.<br/>A tall cat tree for climbing and observing her kingdom.<br/>And people who understand that every now and then she may need to carry her favorite toy from one room to another for reasons known only to Mistee.<br/>Honestly...<br/>We don't ask questions.<br/>We simply admire her commitment.<br/>What makes Mistee truly special isn't just her playful nature or her funny little quirks.<br/>It's her resilience.<br/>She has overcome pain.<br/>She has learned to trust again.<br/>She has embraced every bit of love offered to her.<br/>And now she's ready to spend the rest of her life making someone laugh, smile, and feel incredibly lucky they chose her.<br/>Imagine coming home after work to find Mistee proudly waiting with her favorite toy nearby, as though she's been guarding the house all day.<br/>Imagine watching her race across the room after a crinkly ball, only to return moments later carrying it like the greatest treasure she's ever found.<br/>Imagine spending the next fifteen years laughing every time you discover another one of her beloved toys mysteriously relocated somewhere new.<br/>Some cats play with toys.<br/>Mistee builds a lifelong friendship with them.<br/>Now she's hoping to build one with you, too.<br/>Mistee has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, dewormed, flea treated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150.<br/>If you're looking for a cat with courage, character, a little tortie sass, and enough personality to brighten every single day, Mistee is ready to become the hero of your story.
