Minerva, who prefers the less formal "Minnie, is a sweet and sensitive 4-year-old longhaired tortoiseshell looking for a very patient adopter with experience helping shy cats gain confidence. Minnie lost the only home she knew when her elderly guardian was moved to a residence that did not allow pets. She is doing her best to overcome this traumatic experience, but she is very slow to adjust to new new places and new people. It took 18 months in foster care before she was brave enough to sit on her foster mom's lap, but now lap time is part of her daily routine, and she enjoys her evening bonding time, purring with contentment. Once you have earned Minnie's trust, she's a gentle companion with excellent litter box manners, a healthy appetite and good grooming skills.
A successful match for Minnie would include a quiet indoor-only household with no children. She would be happy as a single pet, or might do fine with a gentle cat or dog that did not expect her to play or interact. She feels most comfortable in small spaces and though she does enjoy a cat tree and a window view, she spends quite a bit of time in her cozy box hideaway. Minnie does not like to be picked up, and will likely always have to be mildly sedated before going to vet appointments. She takes a daily anti-anxiety medication, and she is on prescription wet food for urinary health. Shy cats need and deserve love too, and Minnie is looking for a special person that will give her the time and compassion she needs to adjust to a new forever home.
