Mindy's Story

Mindy is a gentle ~9-year-old lady who has come so far since being trapped in Bridgeport alongside another adult cat we suspect is her daughter. Though she arrived shy and uncertain, it was clear right away that she wasn’t feral — just a cat who had gone too long without comfort.<br/><br/>Over the past few months, Mindy has blossomed in her foster home. She’s still a bit skittish when you approach her directly, but if you settle onto the couch, she will happily come to you on her own terms. She’s discovered how wonderful indoor life can be: cozy beds, warm blankets, and friendly feline siblings who help her feel safe. She now hops up onto the couch, snuggles in close, and gives the sweetest little head-butts to ask for affection. Rump scratches are her absolute weakness — she melts for them.<br/><br/>Mindy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV negative.<br/><br/>Did we mention? Mindy has no teeth - you heard me, zero. Due to severe stomatitis she had them all extracted. She is free of pain and loves her pate diet, all the same!

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.
