Happy, healthy cat that should fit well in almost any home
This week on Take Me Home Tuesday, CTV Northern Ontario is featuring a two-year-old cat named Minou, which the Sudbury SPCA says would make a good companion.
Minou – the French word for kitty – is a medium- to medium/high-energy feline that gets along well with dogs and kids.

Alexandra Binns of the Sudbury SPCA said while she hasn't yet been tested with other cats, she would likely adjust very well and is good for almost any home.
Minou is a confident cat that loves to explore and will probably be playful, Binns said.
The cat will be spayed later this month, the cost of which is included in the adoption fee.

Binns said while Minou is young and healthy, she recommends looking into pet insurance, which helps alleviate some of the cost of veterinary care.
