FURRY FEATURE Mist is a grey and white male cat, born on September 20, 2006. He is Midnight's brother and is adjusting to shelter life a bit faster. They were given up by owners who moved and could not take them with them. They are both very sweet and shy but would make lovely gentle pets and deserve a chance in a second home.
