Calico kittens & cats in Faribault, Minnesota

Hello, I'm Belle. I used to roam free, exploring every nook and cranny of the world at my own pace. Now, I find myself in a new place, a shelter, where I'm slowly learning about trust and love. Each day, I grow a bit bolder, letting curiosity lead me to new friendships with gentle humans. I dream of a quiet home where I can peek out from cozy corners and maybe, just maybe, find a lap where I feel safe. If you seek a gentle companion to share in quiet moments, I'm here, ready to be part of your story. Belle is altered, microchipped and vaccinations are up to date.

Name: Willow Age: 2 years Weight: 8.5 lbs Gender: Female Breed: Calico / Domestic Short Hair Coat Length: Short Color: Calico Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes, with slow intro Child friendly: Yes, would do best with older children Litter Box Trained: Yes Temperament: affectionate, curious, playful, shy upon first meeting Energy Level: Moderate Adoption Fee: $190+tax To adopt, go to:  www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html From the Foster Family: Willow is a sweet and spunky girl, ready to be your new little companion! She does take a little while to warm up to a new space and people, but once she's able to feel comfortable and confident, she loves to explore, nap, and watch the world go by through the windows. While Willow is dog- and cat-friendly, she would do best in a calmer environment, as she's previously been overwhelmed by living with too many other pets. She is a very independent girl, finding hiding places to sleep during the day or watching the room from her window perch, and will come rub up against my hands or legs when she wants affection. She also sleeps next to me in bed at night, sometimes in between my legs. Quick movements tend to frighten Willow, and she does best when I let her approach me, which she'll happily do once I've sat down. Willow would be a great cat for someone who has a busy schedule, as she's happy to spend time alone, and then catch up at the end of the day with cuddles and affection (her adopter will also get her automatic feeder, which you can program to feed her at certain times every day!) She's still a young girl, ready to settle in and grow old with her purr-fect forever family!    August 13, 2026, 6:46 pm

Name: Gracie Age: Adult / DOB 5/1/24 Weight: 7.2 pounds Gender: Female Breed: Dilute Calico/Tabby Color:  Dilute calico Dog friendly: yes, with slow intros Cat friendly: yes, with slow intros Child friendly: yes, gentle please Litter box trained: yes Energy level: Low Temperament:  Loving but cautious, your cats new best friend!  Adoption Fee: $200+tax   To adopt, go to:   www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html   Some cats take a little longer to trust the world—and when they do, it feels like the most special gift. Gracie is one of those cats. Beneath her soft fur and gentle eyes is a sweet, beautiful soul who is quietly learning that life can be safe, warm, and full of love. Gracie spent her first year living outside with her best buddy. When kind neighbors noticed that her friend had gone missing, they knew she shouldn’t have to face the world alone and reached out to MSAR to help her find a safe place to land. Like many former outdoor kitties, Gracie is a little cautious with humans at first. But she’s learning that people bring pretty wonderful things—like delicious meals, tasty treats, cozy beds, and warm places to sleep. She especially loves sitting at the top of the cat tower where she can watch everything going on below, and recently she’s discovered the joy of curling up in the little hidey holes for a safe, peaceful nap. Gracie is an independent girl, but that’s what makes it so special when she chooses you. The moment she hops onto your lap for some gentle scritches feels like you’ve truly earned her trust—and there’s nothing better than that. About Me: Hello and welcome to my world! I’m Gracie, although my foster dad sometimes calls me Betty White. Apparently they have a large brown beast around here that they also call Gracie, so I guess I needed a stage name! Honestly, I don’t mind—Betty is very distinguished, and I like to think I am too. I wasn’t totally sure about indoor life at first, but I’ve decided it’s actually a pretty amazing arrangement. My foster mom gives me this delicious food every day, and I never have to worry about being cold or hungry again. That alone makes this place pretty great! Everyone seems to love my little frost-kissed ears, but the truth is I’m just enjoying being warm and having friends to romp and snuggle with. If your cat is looking for a new best friend, I would love to apply for the job! I’m also willing to humor the humans—as long as they continue providing a nice perch to survey my domain, a warm bed to curl up in, and plenty of yummy food.  August 13, 2026, 6:46 pm

Name: Buttons & Spooky Age: Senior / DOB 1/17/2010 Weight: 9 lbs & 8 lbs Gender: Female Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Calico mix Coat Length: Short Color: Calico Dog friendly: Testing available upon request Cat friendly: Buttons -Somewhat particular  / Spooky -Yes Child friendly: Yes Litter Box Trained: Yes Temperament: affectionate, attentive, playful, cuddly, curious Energy Level: Moderate/low Adoption Fee: $75 + tax fee includes both cats together To adopt, go to:    www.mendingspirits.org/apply-to-adopt.html      Buttons and Spooky are a bonded pair of sweet senior cats looking for a loving home together. These two have spent years side by side and rely on each other for comfort, companionship, and plenty of cozy moments. Buttons is as affectionate as they come—she truly lives up to her name with her gentle, lovable personality. She adores people and always wants to be close, whether that means curling up beside you or resting on your lap. She’s incredibly healthy for a senior and still enjoys playtime like a much younger cat. She can be a bit grumpy with other cats, preferring human attention, and absolutely loves cuddles, catnip, and giving little kisses. Hi, I’m Buttons! I may be a senior, but I still have plenty of energy and love to share. You’ll usually find me right next to your legs, keeping you company. I’m a big fan of snuggles and affection—and I’ll happily remind you with kisses. Spooky is just as loving, with a slightly clingy side that makes her all the more endearing. She thrives on being close to her people and will happily tuck herself under the covers for warm, nighttime cuddles. She still enjoys playing with both people and other cats and has a sweet, social personality. Spooky is a bit on the thin side and would benefit from gaining some weight, and she occasionally has trouble keeping food down, but otherwise she’s doing well. Hi, I’m Spooky! I love being right in the middle of whatever you’re doing—I’m a bit of a “helper” that way. I’ll definitely insist on bedtime snuggles, especially under the covers. And if you pet me, don’t be surprised if I meow every single time—it’s just my way of saying I love the attention!  August 13, 2026, 6:46 pm

Meet Dotty! <3 Dotty and her mom, Delilah, were found abandoned at a farm and turned over to Rescue. Dotty, a beautiful calico, was born around May 2020. She is quiet, affectionate on her terms with trusted people, and avoidant of strangers. Dotty enjoys window watching and playing with wand toys as long as there is no competition. She is on the passive side and really enjoys Delilah’s companionship. Dotty likes a little bit of petting and brushing. She does not like being picked up and prefers to sit near you. She gets along with most cats. Dotty has not met dogs, nor kids under age nine, but if they are gentle and quiet she will be fine. Are you the patient person willing to give her time to trust and blossom? This cat and others are available at Cat Tales Rescue. Cats have been vet checked, spayed/neutered, wormed, tested for FIV/FeLV, have distemper and rabies shots. Adoption fees are $200+tax and for cats age 6+ the fee is $175+tax. Some special breeds are $250+tax. For further information or to start the adoption process, leave a message at 612-202-9492 or email cattalesmn@outlook.com If you are gone 7 or more hours a day, please consider adopting two cats, as one cat usually gets bored. Two cats are easier to care for than one (they self-entertain while you are at work), and they are emotionally healthier (don’t get lonely and bored). ~*~*~* Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cattalesmn *~*~*~*~*

Hi there… I’m Boss Man! 
And yes, I know, I’m very, very adorable. You can tell just by looking at me. I didn’t always live the good life. I came to the sanctuary as part of the “Glencoe” cats, after spending my days outside fighting for food and shelter. When I first arrived, I was pretty scared… and honestly, I wasn’t impressed with the humans at all. I even earned my name by being the Boss of the ISO room, telling everyone to go away and mind their business! But guess what? Humans grew on me. Turns out they’re pretty great. They give pets (which feel amazing), lots of love, and, most importantly, tasty lickable treats. Those treats were the key to my heart, and they’ll be the key to helping me feel comfortable in my new home too. I’ll need a family who understands that I’ll hide at first and take some time to adjust. Please be patient with me, once I trust you, you’ll see what a sweet, loving guy I really am. I absolutely love other cats. Snuggling with them, playing with them, sharing cozy naps… a feline friend is a must for me. I’m playful, always zooming around with toys, and I especially go wild for catnip bananas and catnip toys. Pure joy. These days, I even enjoy greeting visitors, especially if they come bearing treats. From tough outdoor boss to luxury-loving sweetheart, I’ve come a long way. If you think you could be my patient, loving forever human, come meet me. You can visit me daily from 1–5pm… I’ll be the adorable guy waiting for treats and pets. I have excellent litter box habits. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I even had a dental recently, so all my teeth are clean. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.

Hi… I’m Cupcake. Yes, the Cupcake! I’m a beautifully plump senior brown tabby with a personality that keeps life interesting. One minute I’m sweet as frosting, the next I’ve got a little spice… okay, maybe a lot. I’m hot, I’m cold, I’m up, I’m down… but that’s what makes me unforgettable. Mornings are my thing. I’ll come right up to you, meowing (very cutely, I might add) and asking for attention like the queen I am. I love my pets, my head scratches, and I’ll even rub up against your legs to remind you I’m there. But don’t get too confident… I’m also a diva, and sometimes I prefer admiration from a respectful distance. Love me on my terms, and we’ll get along just fine. I didn’t always feel this confident. When I first arrived, I was scared and unsure of people. But with time, patience, love… and yes, plenty of food… I’ve come out of my shell. I still need someone who understands that I’ll take a little time to adjust in a new home. I might hide at first, but give me space and I promise I’m worth the wait. A few fun facts about me: • I have no teeth… but don’t let that fool you… I crunch my food like a pro. • I love being brushed (when I’m in the mood, of course). • Cozy beds, sunshine naps, and catnip are my absolute favorites. • I get along well rubbing up against other cats… I just like doing things my way. So if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a little sass, a lot of charm, and a heart that shines through once you earn it… I might just be your girl. Come meet me between 1–5pm. I’ll be the fabulous one waiting for you. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing. If you are interested in adopting Cupcake, please come visit… we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)… we need to meet you in person! If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@furballcats.com or message us on Facebook: Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary.

Meet Skillet! 🐾 Hi! I'm Skillet, a 2.5-month-old kitten, and I just might be the most photogenic kitten ever! Just imagine all the adorable pictures we could take together. Like any kitten, I'm full of energy and wake up every day ready to play. I also have a purr motor that will absolutely melt your heart. I can be a little shy when I first arrive in a new home, so I'll need a little patience while I get comfortable. Once I settle in, though, my playful and loving personality really shines… just ask my foster family! I'd love to find a forever home that will adopt me with one of my siblings so we can grow up together. If you're looking for double the love, double the fun, and endless kitten cuddles, I might just be the perfect match! I have excellent litter box habits. I am fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I require an indoor-only home and would love to have other cat siblings as I have alot of energy! I am in a foster home located in Faribault. My foster family can be reached text 507-782-9850 or via email cruzmelanie2023@gmail.com
