Minu

Female, European shorthair, born 2025

Characteristics:

Playful, affectionate and grateful
Loves cuddles and human contact, and places full trust in people
Gets along well with other cats and is suitable for homes with children
Requires special care and ongoing veterinary follow-up

History and personality:

Minu arrived at the Sanctuary with a difficult past, but with a strength that is truly moving. When she was very young, she was found on the street with a spinal injury that left her paralysed. It is an irreversible condition, but her will to live is unstoppable. Because Minu is not her injury. Minu is light, tenderness and a little fighter who enjoys life in her own way.

She is a beautiful, sweet and deeply affectionate cat. Despite everything she has been through, she trusts people completely and lets herself be cared for with a gentleness that is impossible not to fall in love with. Here she lives alongside Chantal and Nórdica in a space specially adapted for paralysed cats, where she can get around in her little wheelchair and share her daily life with others like her.

What she needs:

Minu requires more attention than most cats: special care, veterinary follow-up and consistent dedication. Finding a family for her would be a true miracle. But if that day never comes, she has a forever home here. Above all, we are looking for sponsors who want to be part of her story and help us ensure she never goes without. Because Minu deserves a long, dignified life full of love — just like every animal does.

Veterinary information:

Vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.

Information about cats up for adoption

Many of the kittens that live in the La Candela Sanctuary are positive for calcivirus* but are controlled and without symptoms.
To control contagion, when adopting a positive kitten in Calcivirus should preferably live in a home where there are no other cats. Nor could it go outside to prevent it from infecting other cats until it is 100% recovered.
Before adopting a kitten, you can write to us at refugelacandela@gmail.com, we will send you all the necessary information about positive kittens and those that do not. along with their needs.
*Calcivirus is a highly contagious and common disease in cats. The main symptoms are runny nose, gingivitis and mouth ulcers. It is a very resistant virus and difficult to eradicate, it can take from weeks to months to fully recover. It is transmitted by direct contact between cats or through humans by petting infected cats and not washing their hands. Feline calicivirus comes in a wide variety of strains, which means a cat can be infected many times in its lifetime, just like humans who get colds over and over again.
It’s It is a common misconception that cats will never get rid of FVC once infected. Furthermore, in the case of a first infection in a susceptible animal, the cat may or may not show clinical signs. After this phase, the virus continues to be eliminated for a few weeks to several months, but in most cases it is eventually cured. This is especially true if the animal lives alone and is not infected again.
For cats that live with other cats, the problem is that the virus circulates and the cats are constantly re-infected (either through contact with other cats or through the contaminated environment, as the virus is resistant in the external environment).
Always remember: A cat that lives alone and is infected with calicivirus should eliminate the virus completely after a few weeks or a few months.
