About Minnow

Meet Minnow, an adorable little patch tabby girl who arrived from a neighboring shelter. She was often overlooked because she took her time to warm up, but we believed she would thrive in our free-roaming environment. Minnow had a serious ear infection when she came to us, which has since been treated. This likely contributed to her reserved nature at her previous shelter. Here at Second Chance, she’s blossomed, welcoming visitors, seeking affection, and displaying her playful side. True to her name, Minnow has a petite build, making her utterly charming. We think she’d be happiest with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older, respectful children. While she gets along with her roommates, we believe she’ll shine brightest as the only cat in the home. Why settle for bigger fish when you can have sweet little Minnow? Minnow is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, with an approximate birthdate of June 23, 2025. Her adoption fee is $95. Please note that we can only adopt to individuals living within an hour’s drive of Grand Rapids. Your chance to adopt a delightful companion awaits!
