My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Minerva is the total package, fun, feisty, and full of that irresistible kitten mischief! She’s spunky, inquisitive, and always up for a good round of play. If something new shows up in her space, you better believe she’s going to be the first one to investigate it (and possibly bat it under the couch).   This girl is living her best life and wants a partner in crime to join her! Wrestling? Yes. Chase? Absolutely. Kitty hijinks all day long? Sign her up. She’s got a lot of energy and a lot of love to give, and she’s looking for a home that can keep up with her zest for life.   Now don’t get us wrong, Minerva’s not all antics. She does love a good petting session and a solid brush-out (and yes, she knows she looks fabulous afterward). Once she’s had her fill of playing and patrolling, she’ll happily curl up for some cozy snuggles. She’s got that perfect balance of spirited and sweet.   One of Minerva’s absolute favorite things is paper packing material, because clearly, it’s a magical paper jungle full of mysteries and possibly treasure. She takes her job of exploring it very seriously. She’s also a proud indoor cat who loves watching the outside world from the window, reporting back to her humans on every bird, squirrel, and leaf she sees. The girl is practically a feline reporter.   Because she’s such a social butterfly (with other cats, too), Minerva must go into a home with another young, playful kitty who matches her energy and love for rough-and-tumble fun. She needs a buddy to wrestle and chase, someone to plot those kitty escapades with.   Minerva is a Persian, so yes, she does come with that gorgeous floof, but it needs upkeep. Daily brushing is a must to keep her coat soft, tangle-free, and looking her best. Her adorable eye folds also need to be gently wiped and dried 2–3 times a day to prevent any irritation or skin infections from the tears Persians are known for.   In short: she’s playful, affectionate, curious, beautiful, and smart as a whip. Minerva is the total cat package, and if you’ve got the right buddy waiting for her at home, she might just be the missing piece of your heart.   Ready to meet this curious cutie? We dare you not to fall in love.   Minerva's adoption fee is $400. If you are interested in meeting or adopting Minerva, fill out an adoption interest form today. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 13, 2025, 1:13 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Minerva, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
