Milwaukee Record is working in partnership with Urban Cat Coalition to help find loving homes for area cats. Each week, we—with generous sponsorship from Skilos, A Family Pet Store—plan to highlight a feline friend that’s currently up for adoption by naming it “Milwaukee Record’s Cat Of The Week.” This week: Minion, a little senior lady with a heart of gold.
It’s Minnie! She’s your new best friend and snuggle buddy. Minnie (also known as “Minion”) may look like she’s been through some…things, but underneath that slightly unkempt fluff and resting look of judgment is a snuggle machine with a heart of gold.
This little senior lady has years of experience in lounging, loving, and finding all the sunny spots in the house. While kittens may bounce off the walls, Minnie prefers the “I’ll just sit on your lap forever, thanks” lifestyle. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who believes every moment is better when shared snuggled in a blanket, she’s your girl. Minnie also loves playing with wand toys, strings, and catnip kickers. She still has a lot of playfulness in her! She has a great appetite and perfect litter box habits.
Her joints get a little achy sometimes and her fur will likely remain patchy, but she takes a basic fish oil supplement in her food to help with those things. Minnie does have a heart murmur that is managed with inexpensive baby aspirin. It doesn’t slow her down or affect her day to day life at all, just something for her adopter to be aware of. She also had a full dental work up and her remaining teeth are sparkly clean.
Minnie would really prefer to be your one and only BFF. She is working on being friends with the resident cats in her foster home and for the most part, things are peaceful, but Minnie does have a somewhat sassy personality and likes to start a ruckus now and then. She ADORES all people. Dogs are unknown, but a calm dog who stays out of her face could probably work with slow intros. She truly is the sweetest little snuggle bug and just needs a soft lap and a few sunny windows for her golden years.
