Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

This sweet girl is Minna (51117), a 9 year old female cat! Minna is a very special cat. She's a sweet and social girl and she has the most adorable head tilt. The head tilt is due to her blindness, but don't let that fool you! Minna is still able to get around great and is generally very easygoing. She may be 9 years old, but she doesn't act like it and has plenty of playful energy. Once she's done playing and exploring, she loves to curl up and receive gentle affection. Because she can't see her surroundings, special care should be taken when carrying and handling her, the less the better. Children should also be supervised around her to ensure appropriate interactions.
