Is there a specific procedure that I need to do to adopt a mini?

Just ask when the mini is mentioned on the Board (if it's from a new mission), or pop it onto the relevant list on the wiki (if... y'know, not). Most adoptions nowadays are on behalf of a specific PPC agent, so mention who's adopting on both sides of the fiction line. It's polite to not over-adopt - "one mini per species per Boarder" is a good rule of thumb, unless you have a specific reason to want another. (Example: my Agent Huinesoron will be accidentally adopting a mini when I eventually finish his next mission, for story reasons, even though I already have one in that canon.)
Then just take good care of them, give them lots of raw eggs and bacon (or other species-appropriate food), and try to avoid feeding anybody to them who doesn't really deserve it.*
*Suvians really deserve it.
Since you've got the thread right here, you could also say who you're adopting now, but it's not a requirement. The days of curated lists are long past...

I actually wanted to adopt the Mini Deepcoiler vulpiz, since I’m writing a permission prompt where my agents find him in a box. Ordered by the insane one of the pair of course XD

Neither Laburnum (aka Chelonianmobile) nor her cowriter Kitsune are active, and they haven't been for a long time, so I don't think there's a strong need to run it by them. You could try out of courtesy, though. Contact emails may be found on the OFUR LJ profile: https://kit-n-minty.livejournal.com/profile
Note that minis aren't really supposed to be made from a lack of capitalization only, though; that's a more recent trend, whereas I'm about 90% certain Miss Cam intended for proper nouns to be capitalized whether a badfic messed them up or not. That said, I can't stop anyone from keeping existing lowercase ones. {= )
