Josie - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in MS STATE UNIV, Mississippi

Meet Josie — the life of the party wrapped up in the sweetest little package. 💕

This young girl has never met a stranger. Whether it’s dogs, kids, or new friends walking through the door, Josie is right there to greet them with confidence and charm. She’s incredibly outgoing and thrives on attention — especially when it comes in the form of her favorite thing: booty pats! Give her a few taps on her bum and she’ll flop over dramatically, rolling around and putting on a full performance just to keep the love coming.

Josie’s story has a brave chapter, too. In late 2025, she was hit by a car and suffered a pelvic injury. But you’d never know it now — she has made a full recovery and moves, plays, and loves life without a single sign of her past injury slowing her down. She’s resilient, strong, and ready to leave that chapter behind her for good.

Now, Josie is just looking for her happily ever after — a home where she can soak up all the attention, make new friends (furry and human alike), and continue being her joyful, silly self. If you’re looking for a social, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Josie is your girl. 🐾💗

Adoption fee is $65 and includes:
spay
age-appropriate vaccines
FIV/FeLV testing
flea/tick/heartworm prevention
microchipping
