Minino - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Hopkinton, Massachusetts

Looking for a sweet, sensitive companion who just needs a little peace and quiet to feel his best? Minino might be your guy!

Minino is a handsome, gentle boy with so much love to give! He can be sensitive to new situations, but once he gets to know you and feels comfortable, his sweet personality really shines. He loves attention, enjoys being pet, and is happy to spend time with his favorite people. He also has an independent side and appreciates having some space to himself!

Minino is looking for a calm, quiet home with adults or teens who can give him the peaceful environment he needs to thrive. Loud noises, lots of activity, and busy households can be overwhelming for this sensitive guy, so younger kids would be a bit too much for him. He seems to do okay with other calm cats but would also be perfectly happy as the one and only spoiled kitty! We think he would do best in a home without dogs.

Minino does have a history of FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease) and stress-related cystitis, which means stress can have a real impact on his urinary health. He is currently on a special diet to help support his urinary system and set him up for success!

In his previous home, Minino did have some litter box accidents. We suspect that the busy household and activity from children may have contributed to his stress leading to accidents. While we can't guarantee that he won't have accidents in the future, we're hopeful that a calmer environment and his special diet will help him feel more comfortable and successful in his new home.

Minino's previous family also mentioned that he seemed interested in exploring outside! We don't know much about his life before that home, so it's possible he had outdoor access in the past. In a quiet, safe neighborhood, he may enjoy some supervised outdoor time in a secure yard after he's fully settled into his new home. He may also be perfectly content living indoors with the right enrichment and a peaceful environment!

Minino would love:

A calm, predictable home where he can feel safe and relaxed

Patient, loving adults or teens who will give him affection while respecting his independence

A home as the only spoiled cat or possibly with another calm feline friend

A home without dogs would likely be best

A family committed to his special diet, urinary health, and keeping his stress levels low

Minino is such a sweet boy who deserves a chance to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a home of his very own. We know he has some special considerations, but we're hopeful that the right family and environment will help him thrive and enjoy a happy, healthy, and hopefully accident-free future!

If you have a quiet home and a little extra love to give, Minino would love to meet you!
