SOCIAL, LOW MAINTENANCE, BUG HUNTER

Meet Minotaur! This sweet kitty is the perfect balance of social and independent; he can spend alone time hunting bugs, and then come right over to you, meowing and asking for pets. Minotaur also knows how to "shake hands", courtesy of his foster mom's training, and loves to show off for guests. He likes to follow humans around the house and play with laser pointers and catnip toys if they can hold his attention for long enough.

Minotaur is not the best around other cats but can grow to tolerate another kitty. He really doesn't see the need for another cat in the home, because he's such a great cat! He would do best in a solo home with an enclosed patio or a window where he can sunbathe.

Minotaur's previous owner moved and couldn't take him along, so he's looking for his new home and new human(s). He has a big meow that is rather comical, and he can't way to say HELLOOOO! Contact us today to arrange a meet & greet!

Minotaur has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Minotaur can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
