Meet Mimi!

This week, we are featuring only one cat, and she is kind of a special needs cat at that.  However, she is no less deserving of a furrever home and we hope that maybe one of you out there has room in your home and heart for her.  Meet our magnificent Mimi!

Mimi was born in September of 2009 by our best estimation so she’s a relatively young adult.  She was found wandering outside when she was a few months old, dirty and ragged due to neglect. Carol brought Mimi into the program even though she wasn’t very socialized and had a hard time adjusting; Carol saw how gorgeous Mimi was and hoped she could tame Mimi down enough to find a home.  She has made a lot of progress since then and now, but she is still a little stand-offish.  Carol likes to call it your ‘typical crabby calico’ kind of attitude.  Mimi does not like to be cuddled much or carried around, nor to be poked and prodded constantly.  She enjoys being pet and scratched though and will generally accept that sort of interaction without much complaint.  However, the home she needs is one where the family understands that she is more of a ‘look but don’t touch (much)’ kind of cat.  She is content to have a comfortable bed in a window and a roof over her head and doesn’t need much more than that to be happy.

The ideal family situation for Mimi is a family without small children as she can be nippy or get upset if she is bothered constantly, which a small child might not understand.  Mimi also is terrified of dogs and would not adjust easily in a home with one.  She does not mind other cats as long as they do not bother her; it is unlikely she will want to interact much with an existing cat, but that could change if she’s in a quieter home.  She really needs an understanding family to give her a home…with time, she might end up being much more friendly if she has personalized, focused attention.
