Senior pets should have their own warm place in a home, surrounded by love during their golden years. But for some cats, like a special cat at a Lima shelter, this is not their reality.
“Meet Minotaur — a gentle soul with a mythical name and a heart of gold,” the Ohio Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Humane Society said in an Aug. 3 Facebook post.
“Minotaur isn’t your average senior cat — he’s a 13-year-old tailless wonder with no teeth and the sweetest disposition you’ll ever meet. He eats only wet food, moves at his own pace, and wants a cozy spot to spend his golden years.”
Originally, Minotaur, an American bobtail cat, was rescued from a hoarding situation when he was around 12-years old, his pet profile says. Fortune smiled on him, but it didn’t last long.
“After thinking he had found his forever home, Minotaur was returned through no fault of his own — his family, unfortunately, had to move and leave him behind,” the shelter said.
Favorites of Minotaur include:
- Wet food because he’s toothless
- People (is very sweet, the shelter notes)
- A quiet environment
He’s not the biggest fan of younger children and would need a meet and greet with any dogs in the home.

Lima is about a 90-mile drive northwest from Columbus.
