She’s the first cat to run toward you when you enter the cat room.

You can almost hear her chanting, “Me first, me first!” as she rubs up against your legs, happily calling out her little “meows.”

This feline’s name is Mimi, and she was found as a stray in St. Charles. Sweet beyond words, this 2-year-old domestic shorthair can definitely hold up her end of the conversation without interruption.

And she is more than encouraging toward anyone who is willing to give her all the petting she can handle.

Mimi is great around other cats as long as they accept her, too, but she is more playful with people.

Mimi has the heart of an angel and the soul of a saint. She is so looking for the purr-fect home where she can finally keep the conversation going.
