Mina was named after the ancient Minotaur from the Labyrinth. However, Mina is not a mythical monster; she is, in fact, a sweet young cat with a slightly frightened gaze. The labyrinth did exist, though. It was a dirty, damp basement filled with water, where Mina hid with her kittens among the remnants of dry ground and pipes. Volunteers spent seven hours rescuing Mina and her two kittens from there. Wild and scared, she did everything she could to stay close to her little ones. They took the hungry kittens to the animal shelter and returned with a trap for Mina. They caught her and registered her for sterilization. Mina spent the night in a carrier, and in the morning, a miracle happened – Mina calmly accepted being held, allowed herself to be examined, petted, and comforted. Then she was placed in a cage with her kittens. It was decided to supplement her kittens with mother’s milk. Thus, Mina became a foster mom to two more little ones, taking over from the tired heroine mom, Ariel.

A bundle of kindness and happiness

Mina is a bit timid, but she still allows herself to be petted and is gradually getting used to people. She has so much love to give her little ones, but she is still cautious around humans. A clean and cozy cat, she is the very embodiment of motherhood and tranquility. Mina has suffered on the streets and, by instinct, does not particularly like other cats and dogs. Therefore, it would be best for her to be the only animal in the family. Mina has mastered the litter box and scratching post perfectly and does not cause much trouble. This adorable girl is ready to become a true home companion; all she needs is a calm family, possibly with children, who will surround her with love and affection and give her a little time to adapt. Then you will gain a true loving and loyal friend and increase the love and harmony in your life!
