Tuxedo Cats Available for Adoption in Palmyra, Virginia

YOU'VE NOT SEEN A TRULY "MINNIE" MOM TIL YOU'VE MET ME!

Estimated date of birth: 12/01/2023

Date of arrival: 05/24/2025

Gender: Female

Breed: Tuxedo

HISTORY: Minnie was trapped along with her very young kittens Harpo, Gummo, Frenchy and Zeppo at the local cat colony we are slowly shutting down.

Our beautifully attired tuxedo lady MINNIE is most aptly named. Did you know when she arrived at our Sanctuary she was a whopping 5lbs AND she was caring for her litter of 4 wee ones? Minnie was so petite that as her kittens grew, at some point it became a challenge to determine who mom was and who the kittens were!! Also keep in mind she was a full year old so she might win the award for being the tiniest of the tiny moms we’ve ever had under our care! Minnie was a fabulous, easy going momma cat.

Arriving pretty shy from the local colony, Minnie still holds onto her shy streak but is slowly adding humans to her friend circle. She was always fine having us handle her kittens and with the kittens now launched, she’s doing a nice job in finding herself following motherhood.

One of her fave humans is volunteer Amy who has been a constant with her since her arrival. Their bond is hope for other bonds we hope she will develop over time. As soon as Amy enters her room and calls for her for example, Minnie will eagerly trot over looking for some one on one loving and attention. In particular she loves all over body massages and begs to be touched. Consistent touching and petting and patience is the way to this girl’s heart! Another volunteer, Scott is in the petting mode with her (he must approach her) but she can take it or leave it with him…for now! LOL! He’s noted that she enjoys finding a comfy spot to relax. As he might say, “She’s earned the right to take it easy.”

Our petite and most adorable lady with the tiny white toes pussy foots around and is fine interacting with the other kitties in her room. She’s slowly learning the joys of being picked up and lap time. A more quiet, calm environment perhaps with other kitties, will likely bring out her best pet self. The sky is the limit for this great little gal and as hard as she has worked for her family and on herself, she and we are hopeful YOU might consider her for your home.
