Cat for Adoption: Minky

Never had a cat before? One-month-old Minky could ease you through first-time anxieties. A doll of a kitten, Minky was born to a stray mother who cared for her kittens to the point of self-sacrifice. When the kittens came to ARK, they were all healthy, but their mother was bone thin. Minky was well-cared for and it shows. Pure, sweet, well-adjusted, she’s a kitten that loves to curl up in laps. Never whiny or demanding of attention, she will nonetheless lap it up. Playful, but not hyper, energetic but not exhausting, Minky loves to care for others and loves to mother her siblings, Moomooki and Lucy. Won’t you please help preserve such touching purity of heart?

Update: Lucy found a home!
