Mini's Story

Meet Mini, a reserved but very loyal girl to her people. <br/><br/>Mini was first brought into the shelter in May of 2024 after her owner was no longer able to care for her. Upon entering the shelter, Mini was rather shy and timid. She needed extra time to adjust to the shelter environment and new people. But with patience, Mini flourished into a sweet and affectionate girl who always wanted the company of people. <br/><br/>Mini was adopted but unfortunately returned in May of 2026. When she returned she was in a great amount of distress. Mini needs a quiet and patient home where she can thrive and finally leave the shelter days behind.<br/><br/>Mini prefers male cats ONLY and would not thrive in a home with female cats. Mini would benefit best from a home without young children to respect her boundaries.<br/><br/>Mini is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her rabies vaccine so she is ready to go home with you.
