FRIENDS STICK TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN

Missy and Elliot do everything together. Elliot the cat seems convinced he’s a dog — following his canine buddy, Missy, around, walking on a leash. And he doesn’t even mind being dressed in matching outfits with his BFF (best Fido friend). Meanwhile, Missy loves to bird-watch through the window, chase after cat toys and play hide-and-seek with her preferred kitty pal.

The two have stayed buddies through thick and thin, including when they lost their home and ended up at a county shelter in Houston. While the shelter has separate areas for cats and dogs, the staff kept them together until Best Friends in Houston took them in and found a foster home that would take both of them. It won’t be long before these two friends head out on their next adventure, a new permanent home where they can happily grow old together. You can be a hero for homeless pets by signing up to foster.
