Cat of the Week: Be Mine in Washington, DC

Does your lap feel empty?
Be Mine (aka "Miners") would love to come sit on it!
She is a 12-year-old female cat waiting for adoption
in Washington, DC.

Welcome, friends. Just a reminder that June is Adopt a Cat Month, and this month we are kicking off a new feature, where each week we’ll feature a senior cat available for adoption. Older cats make great pets: they can be wonderful companions and good lap warmers, and they’re unlikely to climb the curtains. Even if you can’t adopt one of the featured cats, keep seniors in mind when you do adopt.

Miners watches what she eats so
she can stay in shape.
These days, she's really into
grain-free foods!

This week, we’re introducing you to a beautiful 12-year-old lady named Be Mine (known as “Miners” to her foster parents). Miners is a people-focused feline who enjoys curling up in a nice soft lap. She would prefer to be your only pet so she can get all the lap time!

Miners has had her thyroid removed and has to be on a strict diet so she doesn’t gain weight. A grain-free diet seems to be just the trick.

Do you have space in your home (and on your lap) for a sweet older lady?
