Meet Miso, a tenderhearted brown tabby who’s still finding her footing after returning to the SF SPCA.

Shelter life can be overwhelming for a sensitive soul like Miso. The constant activity and noise make it hard for her to relax, so she’s been keeping to her favorite quiet corners. And while her first “hello” might come with a polite hiss, that’s just her way of saying she’s still deciding if you’re a friend.

Miso would flourish in a calm, predictable home – one with grown-up energy and soft voices rather than the joyful chaos of little humans. Once she feels secure, her gentle side will shine through in soft purrs, slow blinks and quiet companionship.

Every cat deserves to feel safe and loved, and Miso is no exception. With patience and understanding, she’ll show you just how special a shy cat’s trust can be.
