Mindy

On a nice day, visitors to the sanctuary will often barely have a chance to shut the front gate behind them before a welcoming committee of front courtyard cats has begun to assemble around them. There are some regulars in this committee, with other members rotating based on, as a wild guess, such factors as who's feeling extra friendly, extra moochy, or simply not otherwise engaged in napping.

This evening, a pretty little tuxedo cat in the mood for some attention put herself forward with the advance party.

Her name is Mindy and I'm told she came in as a feral with her tabby brother Jinx. Both are friendly now, though Jinx does get nervous if he's closed in on and doesn't see an easy escape route, and Mindy still hasn't quite lost the "if in doubt, swat" impulse.

To tell her apart from other cats with similar face and chest markings, look for the little patch of black on her right foot.
