My story

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

Sweet, adorable Minnie stares deep into your eyes probably more than any other little cat you know, making you feel like you’re the absolute best. 


Minnie loves to begin her day with a play sesh featuring the best-ever fishing pole wand toy, where she might convince even you that the feathers on the end of it are actually a bird! Her mouser skills are incredible — Minnie hunkers down, pupils wide, tracking every twitch of the feathers until just the right moment to SPRINT into action. On carpet or a rug, she has impressive speed and agility! And when that “bird” takes flight, Minnie transforms into a (still overwhelmingly adorable) fierce aerial hunter, launching into the air with entertaining acrobatics to pluck her prey out of the sky. Her second favorite game to play involves a donut shaped tunnel with two entry points. She will dash into it, and if you tease the outside of the tunnel with a stick or fabric covered wire (in our case), she goes absolutely berserk attacking it from within— make absolutely sure you don’t touch the tunnel with any part of your body because she is in the ZONE!! You’ll be so entertained as she uses her claws to pull herself around the tunnel on her back! She’s such a funny little playmate!


Minnie came to us off the street, but she clearly was raised by humans, as she wants to spend as much time with them as possible. She is very vocal, and loves to talk to you. She has all sorts of thoughts about everything! If only we could understand what those thoughts are… If you work from home, Minnie is going to be your reliable coworker, always there to give you a little hit of dopamine or oxytocin throughout your day. As you stare into your monitor, Minnie will curl up in your lap, especially if you have a blanket there. When she’s not napping, she will explore your desk, passing by to rub her face on your chin. Her loves are a fantastic pick-me-up throughout the day!


Minnie gets along great with other cats, especially if given a metered introduction. She would love to have a friendly playmate!


If you’re looking for a lovey, playful companion, Minnie is your little gal!! Come meet her and let her steal your heart!!

Additional adoption info

Our shelter has more than 500 available cats and dogs every day!
For pets at the shelter: Adoptions must be completed in-person at the shelter. AAC is open for adoption walk-ins every day from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. A shelter pet’s availability can change at any time, so we recommend choosing a few favorites.
For pets in foster: Go to www.AustinAnimalCenter.org to find the pet's profile and click that pet's pink “Adopt Me” button. This will prompt you to complete an adoption questionnaire. Submitting an application does not hold the animal for you.
We have dozens of animals that won't be listed online yet because they're still in their stray hold period, but can be pre-adopted at the shelter in case their owner doesn't come for them.

Adoption Fees:
$80 cats up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 kittens up to 6 months
$120 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
No fee for senior pets 7 years and older
