Rescue:
Minou first showed up at a storage unit facility, where one of Pet Patrol’s volunteers has a friend
who works on site. He noticed the friendly little cat wandering the property, always nearby, always
watching. She started following him around during his daily rounds, happily accepting food and
curling up in the shop for attention before wandering off again. It didn’t take long for him to grow
fond of her—and give her the name Minou. One day, she returned with a noticeably round belly. It
was clear—Minou was pregnant. Without hesitation, he prepared a warm, dry shelter for her,
knowing the wet and windy spring weather wasn’t safe for a mothertobe. Sure enough, she gave
birth not long after. That’s when our volunteer, a trained veterinary technician, stepped in. Knowing
Minou and her babies needed more protection than a storage yard could offer, she reached out to
Pet Patrol—and soon, this sweet little family was safe in our care. Minou has proven to be as loving
as she is lovely. Clearly treated with kindness in her past, she is now ready to leave survival behind
and enjoy the comfort and care of a real forever home.
Personality:
Minou is a gentle and timid girl who prefers a quiet, predictable environment. She can be shy with
new people and will often find a cozy hiding spot until she feels safe again, but with her trusted
humans she is affectionate and enjoys pets and soft ear scratches. Minou prefers not to be picked
up, choosing instead to come to you for attention on her own terms. She gets along well with other
cats and is very tolerant of kittens, but her strongest bond is with her sister Muffin, whom she can
often be found snuggled up with, grooming and resting together. In the evenings, Minou seeks out
her person for quiet affection, making her a sweet and devoted companion once she feels at home.
Minou is ready to be adopted into her forever home. One that will welcome her into the family and
keep her safely indoors.
