Stunning Myra, the Russian Blue Mix, is No Wall Flower

This cat adores her humans, but not necessarily other pets—can you give her a home?

PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Malden and other neighboring communities.

Are you a real cat lover? Are you looking for a cat who has lots of personality and will be a strong presence in your life? Then look no further. My name is Myra and I am the cat for you. Not only am knock-down gorgeous with my silvery, shimmering Russian Blue-like fur, but I am a cat with pizzazz.

When you come home each day from work (or wherever), I will meet you at the door, ready to tell you all about my day and to list off the things I want to do with you, now that you are home. I love, love, love to play with string toys. But, it’s okay if you aren’t ready for play time right away. Maybe I can help you with your paperwork. I will sit right in the middle of whatever you are doing. Or I can amuse myself for a bit and then curl up somewhere near you (probably under your feet) and wait for you to be finished. If you will pet me, then I will curl up on your lap and purr.

I need to be very clear here that I adore my humans. But if you have other pets, I am not a good match for you. I tend to be dominant by nature and other animals get my nose all out of joint. Do know that I am no wall flower. I can be a feisty girl, even with those I love. Are you a cat lover who likes that trait and finds it amusing? The kind of person I am looking to adopt knows that, while I may reprimand you from time to time, I will be back a minute later looking to be best friends again. I will look up at you with my big, golden eyes and you will not be able to resist me.

So, do you have room in your life for a girl with cattitude? I don’t need luxury, just some good food, a few toys, and your commitment to love me forever. I wouldn’t even mind sharing you with other human companions in your household. In fact, that could be great: more attention for little me!
