SKINNY MINNIE - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Skinny Minnie found her way to the shelter skinny and scared, so she headed to a foster home where she could relax, gain some much-needed weight, and build her confidence around people.

The good news? Minnie is already showing us what a sweet girl she is! She absolutely loves getting pets and attention from her humans. She’s slowly gaining her weight back and becoming more comfortable and confident every day.

Minnie would love a home where she can continue to decompress, adjust to her new surroundings, and soak up all the love and attention she deserves. I am not currently at the shelter because I'm growing big and strong in a foster home! *Staff thinks I will be ready by early September*. You can sign up to pre-adopt me by placing a $50 choice hold. This is a non-refundable fee that does not go towards my adoption fee, but it does give you the first opportunity to adopt me. Shelter staff will contact you when I’m ready to go home with my new family! To place a choice hold, you can either come into the shelter or call us at 719-302-8707; you may wait to speak with a customer service representative or leave a voicemail. Choice holds are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and only one choice hold can be placed per animal. Once I am old enough to go home, I will have to be adopted at the shelter without a visit. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to visit while I’m in the foster home as it’s a lot of stress on me to be transported back and forth to the shelter for visits, which makes me more susceptible to getting sick. I want to be healthy for our new life together!
