Whisker Wednesday Spotlight: Minny! 🐱

This spritely little orange gal is one in a million - or at least one in ten! With her rare color, boundless energy, and love for pets, Minny is a perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She’s okay with other cats but likes to be in charge, and she’ll happily keep you entertained with her zoomies before melting into your lap for cuddles.

As a nonprofit, no-kill rescue, we focus on helping animals who may not do well in larger shelters, committing to them for life with post-adoption support and a lifetime return policy.
