My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Best Match:

  • Seeking an adopter with some cat experience

  • Could join a calm home with teens

  • May be okay with other cats and could be adopted with Matilda

  • Needs to be indoor only

  • Cat Town will help cover some of her medical expenses for life

​

Looking for a house panther also ready to be your lap cat? Senior Melina (Mellie) is happy to oblige! She’ll demonstrate her unconditional love and affection with lots of snuggling.

 

If you hear loud and frequent purring, you’ll know Mellie’s in the house and happy! All it takes is finding a sunny lounging spot or that you’ve entered the room. The cutest thing? She’ll put herself to sleep with the sound of her own purrs. 

 

Mellow Mellie’s simple daily routine consists of finding the warmest place in the house so she can curl up and take a long nap. All she needs for activity is a scratching post and wand string given limited mobility due to arthritis in her back legs. While Mellie is unable to jump up on the couch or bed, she may do her version of the zoomies by walking very fast after dinner. That’s thanks to a helpful monthly injection given at the vet’s office, covered for life by Cat Town. Supplements for joint health are also added to her food.

 

This sweet senior girl is confident, low maintenance, and ready to make herself at home — maybe in your home? In return, you’ll have an affectionate companion, eager to return your love out loud and in your lap.

 

Melina is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form .
