Calico kittens & cats in Mankato, Minnesota

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.  June 7, 2026, 12:14 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!  June 7, 2026, 12:14 pm

Meet our sweet girl, Dakota, looking for her forever home. She is around 3 years old and has a calm, loving personality.

Meet Miss Scarlett, a sweet girl with a bit of sass and a gentle, reserved nature. She can be a little shy at first and may take some time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. The shelter environment has her a bit guarded, but in a calm and patient home, she’s expected to relax and slowly show more of her personality. With time and trust, her affectionate side will come through. Miss Scarlett would do best in a peaceful home where she can settle in at her own pace. Once she feels safe, she has the potential to be a lovely, engaging companion with just the right touch of attitude.

Meet Mully — a sweet and gentle boy who is still settling in and figuring out the shelter world. While he hasn’t shown us his full personality just yet, he has already proven himself to be a kind and lovable cat. Mully may need a little time to feel comfortable and come out of his shell, but we know there’s a wonderful cat waiting to bloom. With patience, love, and a cozy place to call home, we can’t wait to see his confidence grow. If you’re looking for a companion to bond with and help flourish, Mully may be the perfect match for you.

Dullahan is a sweet, outgoing cat who loves being around people and thrives on attention. He greets visitors with curiosity and confidence, and he’s always happy to be part of whatever is going on. Affectionate and social, Dullahan enjoys pets, companionship, and being included in daily life. While we don’t know a lot about how he has done in a home environment, based on his personality here, we believe he will adapt well and quickly bond with his people. He has a playful, engaging nature and seems well-suited to a moderately active household. Dullahan is FIV-positive, which means he will need an adopter who is committed to keeping him healthy with regular veterinary care, including routine checkups and monitoring for any potential health concerns. Many FIV-positive cats live long, happy lives with proper care and a stable indoor environment. He comes from a hoarding situation where multiple unneutered male cats were kept together, which led to fighting. Due to this history—and a fight that occurred while in our care—Dullahan will need to be the only cat in the home. He is not comfortable around other cats and will do best as your one and only feline companion. He would also prefer a home without dogs. Dullahan is a loving, people-oriented cat who is ready to form a strong bond with his adopter. In a home where he can be the center of attention, he will make a fun, affectionate, and devoted companion.
