Minka is a very sweet cat. She’s tiny, dainty, and very light-weight. She’s had hyperthyroidism for a few years, but she still plays when she feels up to it. She’s affectionate and spends a lot of time on her “dad’s” lap while he works. Part of the night she sleeps on top of or next to her dad and there’s a great deal of purring and kneading before she settles down. =^..^=
Minka likes to play with strings and soft catnip toys, and will swat things off the table and bat them around to get attention. She used to chase balls around the house but has slowed down a bit in recent years.
This sweet girl is very vocal and always has plenty of things to say. She can be a picky eater, like most cats, but for years she would only eat one brand and flavor of canned cat food. Then, one day she got tired of it, and lately she’s been willing to try different foods! She likes her soft food to be very fresh. :) She also gets Hill’s Prescription Diet dry food for her teeth.
Minka is accustomed to a quiet house—and prefers to be the only animal. She’s not too keen on being carried; she won’t swat or scratch though, she’ll just turn around and look at you funny. Lol. Probably wouldn’t fare well with young children given that!
Her house manners are excellent and she uses the litter box like a champ.
The main reason her family is forced to rehome Minka is that she can get a bit restless at night, and her “dad” is about to start daily radiation treatments and needs his sleep. :( That said, according to the vet, the meds Minka is taking are working and she’s doing well. Her family just doesn’t have anywhere to put her at night given their current living situation.
To learn more about Minka, reach out to Debbie at 415-548-0824 or email adoptions@jakesplacecatrescue.org.
This cat is considered a Courtesy Listing. We offer our services to help other responsible rescue groups or individuals find good homes for cats in need. We have screened and interviewed each of the individuals before agreeing to post their cats.
