Meenu - “A house is not a home without a pet.”

Let us introduce you to our adorable rescued Indie cat, ‘Meenu’, who transformed Gladys’ house into a beautiful ‘home’ full of love and affection. Gladys, Meenu’s parent, shares with us her magical and soulful experience of making Meenu an indispensable part of her family…

WHEN AND HOW DID MEENU COME IN YOUR LIFE?

We did not have any plans to have a pet but when my sister found three of those poor creatures, we knew we had to keep them. She was returning home from work on 19th November 2015 when she heard kittens crying. She followed their voices and saw a kindle of kittens; however, she could not find their mother. The sight was terrible – one kitten lying dead with ants all over her body and three other kittens crying in pain and hunger. Seeing their plight, she brought them home. They were less than a week old – two males and one female; we named them Whitey, Blacky, and Meenu. The challenge was that we had never taken care of such small kittens without their mother. We knew it would be difficult but we did our very best. We are so happy now that all three of them survived and are in excellent shape. We put them up for adoption when the kitties were 3 months old. Our boys got adopted by a very loving family and Meenu remained with us as our life and happiness.

WHAT DO YOU GENERALLY FEED HER?

We are very particular about her diet because she gets sick very soon if something doesn’t suit her body. Her vet recommended a diet of boiled fish or chicken with a pinch of salt and turmeric, which we feed her. Her favourite food is dry cat food that she loves munching on. We give her treats too for good behaviour.
