Minky

My name is Minky, a friendly, three-year-old black male cat. I was trapped as a stray after having been heartlessly left behind by my people. I thought were my family but they moved away. I was out, on my own, for over a year, meaning…I had to fend for myself last winter. 

It took a while to learn to trust humans again, but that hurdle has been cleared, and I have even taken to sleeping with my fosters. In bed, when they snap theirs fingers, I know that they intend to pet me or one of their cats, so I go to rub their hands with my face. I am quite friendly both to other cats and humans, although I definitely seem to prefer females. I’m not sure how I would react to dogs. I enjoy being petted, picked up and held, and I am quite comical when chasing a laser pointer. I also respond to my name.

Like many long-time abandoned stray cats, I am FIV+, but that should have little, if any, affect on my life-span. (For more information on FIV, seehttps://www.kittyconnection.net/2013/02/07/feline-immuno-deficiency-virus-fiv/) This will actually be to the benefit of my new family because they will get rescue rates on vet care as long as they use Kitty Connection’s vet.
