My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Minou — The Chunky Sweetheart With a Heart of Gold!

If you’re looking for the perfect blend of cozy, cuddly, and a sprinkle of playful, Minou is your girl! This super senior queen may be on the rounder side, but she’s also full of love, charm, and the softest purrs you’ve ever heard.

Minou is a shy but incredibly sweet lady who’s searching for a quiet indoor-only home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort—and with someone who can help her stay on track with her weight-loss plan. (She promises to cheer you on during your workouts too!)

She’s okay with respectful teens and may do fine with another calm cat after a very slow introduction, but she’s made it clear: no dogs, please. She deserves peace, not puppy chaos.

To keep Minou happy, healthy, and moving, she’ll need:
Tons of catnip toys — catnip is her secret ingredient for playtime!
Any toy that gets her moving (bonus points if it wiggles or crinkles!)
Sturdy, heavy-duty cat trees & scratching posts that can handle her… majestic presence
Heavy-duty window perches for birdwatching, sunbathing, and supervising the world
Wet food & catnip — her absolute favorites

Minou may take a little time to open up, but once she feels safe, she’s a gentle lovebug who just wants cozy naps, gentle affection, and someone who believes in her health journey.

Ready to give this soft, sweet, silly senior the forever home she deserves? Minou is waiting to meet you!
