My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gino! (Foster Care)

Introducing Gino! An adorable just turned 1, male short hair kitten with a beautiful black coat and gorgeous eyes!  According to Gino’s foster mom, he’s just wonderful; a very affectionate and sweet boy!  He’s a very friendly boy who purrs a lot!  Gino loves other cats and has lots of kitty friends at his foster home.  His unique trait is what we refer to as the “kitty happy tail”, where he flicks his tail when he’s excited or happy!  It’s SO cute!   Gino has been around small dogs and he’s been totally fine with them.   He’s never been around children, but we assume he would do fine with older, respectful kids.   Gino would be happiest going to a home where he would have at least one kitty friend to hang out with and play with!  

Gino’s story is that he was found as an outdoor feral kitten.  He then went into foster care where he learned from people and animals alike, all about this new world!   When he goes to his new home he will have to be given time to settle in, adjust and get to know his new people and new animal friends.   He’s never been a skittish kitty.  He doesn’t run and hide.  But he will need time to settle into a new environment.

Gino eats both raw and canned cat food.  He clearly prefers the raw food which is readily available through places like Woody’s Pet Food Deli.  He will eat a good quality canned cat food as well, or a combination of both.

Gino has been neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  He uses his scratching post and has great litter box habits!  He especially loves playing on and sunning himself on the tall cat tree at his foster home!   He loves watching the birds and wildlife!  There is absolutely no declawing allowed for Gino or any other cat.

Interested parties should contact Gino’s foster mom, at 612-247-7463.  Do not contact Furball Farm regarding him.

Since Furball Farm gives many cats forever homes they are always in need of Scoopable cat Litter, canned cat food, and cleaning supplies. Items purchased at PetSmart in Faribault can be left at the store and they will contact us for pick up. We appreciate any help we can get and so do the cats!!! Thank you!!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our goal is to be a sanctuary for cats who are not adoptable and to find loving homes for those who are. We welcome you to visit our sanctuary to snuggle with our furballs. You may even end up going home with one...or two!!! Adoption fees vary from $50.00 to 150.00.

You always need to remember our cats come with baggage. Lots of them were treated badly by people and it has taken time for them to trust us. They may need to come out of their shells once you adopt them. You need to give them time to see you are not going to hurt them. We love our Furballs and want good homes for all of them. Please remember it is all about the cats for us.

We only adopt out our Furballs to people within 2-3 hours of our sanctuary because of the baggage they come with. This does not include some of the cats in foster care (contact their foster parents for more information).

Adoption application
