- Hi my name is Mantis! I was living in a garden shed with my mom Gamora until some neighbors were able to bring us both into a foster home! I can be shy and nervous at first with new people and new situations, but I'm naturally curious and playful, so I warm up pretty quickly, especially if you offer me some treats or wet food!
- I've never met a toy I didn't like, but I especially love spring toys, jingle balls, and tunnels! I love it when my foster parents throw toys for me to chase, stalk, and pounce. If you have a window I can sit in, you’ll probably find me there birdwatching regularly when I need a break from playing!
- I would love to have another kitten or a friendly cat to play with! There are 2 resident cats in my foster home, and there’s nothing better than playing with them! My foster sister isn’t very friendly, and while I still try to make some friendly advances, I respect her boundaries and listen when she tells me she needs space. I’ve only met 1 dog, which was pretty scary, but if you have a cat-savvy dog who will give me time, I think I would warm up. I’ve never been around kids. I think they might scare me a little at first if they’re very boisterous, but I love people and I love anyone who will play with me!
- I’m still a kitten, so I’ve got lots and lots of energy and I’m learning how to be a well-behaved girl. There’s so much playing to do, sometimes it’s hard for me to take a break! I’m learning how to play nicely with hands. I’m good about not using my claws, and if I bite a little too hard, just say “ow” and I’ll back off…at least for a minute! I’ve never had an accident outside my litter box. I have discovered that splashing in the water dish can be super fun, so I might need you to put down a towel!
- I’m a smart, affectionate, and social girl. I just want to find a home that will play with me, help me keep learning good manners, and love me. When I’ve run out of energy playing, I might even come snuggle up with you! But whatever we’re doing, you’ll hear me purring, just happy to be spending time with you!

Take the Pet Home
Cats must be fixed prior to going home. If too young to be fixed, we will arrange for you to bring the cat to our vet when old enough.
Additional adoption info
We do not allow cats to be adopted that will be declawed, or outdoor cats. All pets are fixed, microchipped and have shots prior to go home. On some occasions we may let a cat go home if it's too young to be fixed if the adopter is a previous adopter and we have an appointment set for them to bring to the vet for the sterilization with follow-up. Also we do not adopt out single kittens unless they have another cat in the home. Otherwise we require them to take two.

We do meet and greets with The Kitten League through Petsmart in Sioux Falls every other week, and we also do regular community events such as street festivals and comiccons. We are always looking for new and different ways to market our cats. We also are doing our very first Kitten Yoga fundraiser in January 2024 to help raise funds and show kittens off for adoption. If these go well we may make it a regular monthly or weekly/biweekly event.
