Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Mellie is a resilient little feline who has braved the harsh Minnesota winters as a stray, and now she's ready to embrace the warmth and comfort of a loving home. This adorable "fluffy potato" is seeking a quiet sanctuary where she can truly blossom. Mellie thrives in a peaceful environment, making her the perfect companion for a calm household, ideally without children or other pets. She cherishes her quiet time with her humans, offering endless affection in return. While not a high-energy cat, Mellie enjoys playtime, engaging in short bursts before settling down for a well-deserved nap. Prepare for constant companionship, as Mellie's favorite pastime is receiving pets! She'll gracefully roll around like a "roly-poly," inviting belly rubs and thoroughly enjoying chin scratches. This gentle, shy girl may take a little time to adjust to a new space, but with patience and love, her goofy and affectionate side will undoubtedly shine through. Mellie communicates through delightful purrs and charming little grunts – she's not much of a meower! Her days revolve around delicious meals, invigorating playtime with her beloved long chew toys and string toys, and indulgent grooming sessions before her naps. Her absolute favorite moments are spent receiving abundant pets and showering her humans with affection, often expressed by rolling upside down and proudly displaying her belly for rubs. If you're seeking a devoted, quiet, and incredibly sweet companion to fill your home with warmth and soft purrs, Mellie is eagerly waiting to become your cherished family member. Give this deserving "little potato" the loving home she's always dreamed of! Mellie is from a stray surrender.
