Mindy (Gums)'s Story

Mindy is a soft, gentle senior lady who has fully embraced the cozy indoor life she always deserved.<br/><br/>When she first came to us, she was quiet and unsure. A cat who had gone too long without comfort. With time, patience, and warm blankets, she’s blossomed into the ultimate lap companion.<br/><br/>And now? She is toothless and thriving.<br/><br/>Mindy recently had a full dental and is officially pain-free. She may be missing her teeth, but she has gained a whole new level of comfort and a very cute habit of rubbing her little gums on you when she’s happy. It’s her version of kisses.<br/><br/>She loves the couch. She loves a heated blanket. She loves curling into your lap and settling in for a long, peaceful snuggle session. Once she chooses her spot, she melts into you and starts work at the biscuit factory.<br/><br/>She still can eat dry food (and loves to), but we prefer a wet diet to keep her comfortable long-term and she’s more than happy to oblige if it means dinner time.<br/><br/>Mindy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV negative. She does wonderfully with other cats and and currently is in a foster home with multiple other animals including a dog and bird.<br/><br/>She isn’t flashy. She isn’t chaotic. She is soft, steady, and deeply affectionate in that quiet, meaningful way. She is ready to become the love of your life.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a warm, snuggly presence to share your couch (and your heated blanket), Mindy is ready.

Despurate House Cats's Adoption Policy
The application process for adopting from our cat rescue includes several important steps: Application Form on Website: You must fill out an application form available on the rescue's website. This form will ask for your personal details, your home environment, and other relevant information about your lifestyle and preferences to help match you with a suitable cat. Vet Reference: You are required to provide a reference from your veterinarian. This helps the rescue ensure you have a history of responsible pet ownership and good veterinary care for your previous or current pets. Landlord Reference (if leasing): If you rent your home, you will need to provide a reference from your landlord. This confirms that you have permission to have a cat in your rental property and ensures that the living conditions are suitable for adopting a pet. Home Visit: As part of the adoption process, a home visit will be conducted. A representative from the rescue will visit your home to ensure it’s a safe and appropriate environment for a cat. This visit will also include meeting your current pets to assess if they will get along with the new cat. The rescue wants to ensure that the new addition to your family will be compatible with your existing pets and that everyone will feel comfortable and safe. Once all these steps are completed and reviewed, the rescue will make a decision about your application.
