Mindy is a gentle ~9-year-old lady who has come so far since being trapped in Bridgeport alongside another adult cat we suspect is her daughter. Though she arrived shy and uncertain, it was clear right away that she wasn’t feral — just a cat who had gone too long without comfort. Over the past few months, Mindy has blossomed in her foster home. She’s still a bit skittish when you approach her directly, but if you settle onto the couch, she will happily come to you on her own terms. She’s discovered how wonderful indoor life can be: cozy beds, warm blankets, and friendly feline siblings who help her feel safe. She now hops up onto the couch, snuggles in close, and gives the sweetest little head-butts to ask for affection. Rump scratches are her absolute weakness — she melts for them. Mindy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV negative. She will be available for adoption in January. At the end of December, she’ll be having a full dental extraction due to severe stomatitis, gum recession, and tooth resorption — a procedure that will finally bring her relief and set her up for a comfortable, pain-free future.
