My story

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

This handsome, 2-year-old, 10.9-pound Domestic Medium Hair cat has a sweet and shy personality. He is a quiet boy who absolutely loves affection. Just give him a couple of gentle scratches behind the ears or on his back, and he’ll start to open up.

Topaz came to us from a large outdoor cat community. While he had lots of feline friends there, he was unfortunately exposed to the Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). Being FeLV positive means his immune system cannot fight off illness and infection, and his life span may be a little shorter than an average cat`s.

Topaz can still live a happy and healthy life as long as he is kept indoors and visits the vet for his annual checkups. He should live in a home as the only cat, or with other FeLV-positive cats, to protect him from diseases and to prevent the Feline Leukemia Virus from spreading. The good news is FeLV cannot be spread to humans or dogs, so he can have as many human and canine friends as he likes! Topaz is ready to be your loving companion for as long as he`s able.

Topaz is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. You can visit him at the shelter Tuesdays through Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM or Sundays from 12:00 to 5:00 PM.

More about this shelter

OUR MISSION

We strive to ensure a safe, healthy, and loving environment that will provide temporary shelter for abandoned, stray, and surrendered animals and to find each animal a new and prosperous home.
The Babinski Foundation is a private 501c3 animal shelter located in Pequot Lakes, MN. We are a safe place to surrender dogs and cats. We also are a stray drop-off facility for stray cats and dogs.

OUR STORY

The Babinski Foundation was established in 2010 by Donald and Elizabeth Babinski owners and founders of Babinski Properties which owns multifamily housing in Minnesota, Florida and South Dakota. He and his wife Elizabeth were working tirelessly to get the animal shelter opened which was their dream, but Donald Babinski passed away August 11th, 2014 before the shelter could open. Elizabeth continued where they left off and the Foundation opened in January 2016 in Pequot Lakes, MN. Elizabeth passed away on November 13th, 2020. Donald and Elizabeth’s dream was finally realized, and Donald and Elizabeth’s surviving family and friends will continue to work hard to fulfill their mission.
