Mist - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chestertown, Maryland

Mist is a 3-year-old beauty and one of only four girls in her group of thirteen. She’s also the only all-black cat in the bunch — and if you know anything about black cats, you know they often prefer the shadows. Mist is no different. She’s the shyest of her group and was the very first one to arrive, carrying a lot of uncertainty and fear from her previous home.

Mist is still learning what love feels like. Most of the time, you’ll find her tucked under a blanket, curled up in a cozy hiding spot where she feels safe. But with patience, gentle encouragement, and a few soft taps on the floor, she’ll slowly inch her way out to say hello. Those tiny brave moments are Mist’s way of showing trust, and they’re incredibly special.

She would thrive in a quiet, understanding home with another friendly cat who can help her feel secure. A calm dog who won’t overwhelm her could also be a good fit. Mist would do best with kids who understand that she’s a sweet girl who’s scared, and who will give her the space and kindness she needs to blossom.

Mist is looking for someone who sees past her shyness and recognizes the gentle heart underneath. With time, patience, and love, she’ll show you just how wonderful she truly is.

Mist's adoption fee is $50, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
