Calico kittens & cats in Saint Michael, Minnesota

Charlotte was born last August to a family that didn’t give her much attention. Then she was brought to a local shelter where she was very scared. Since coming to The Cottage she has begun to feel comfortable. She likes her kitty friends and loves to be able to hang out in the catio. She has begun to trust people and likes pets.

3 yr, 5 months 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 *~*~*~*~*

Zoey is about 9yrs old. She is affectionate and vocal and greets you like a dog. She loves to cuddle. She's good with not scratching furniture or carpet. She loves cardboard scratching boxes. She's lived with cats and dogs but probably would do best with just one or no others in home. We have found she is highly anxious by our young children. They move too fast and are too loud. She hides and cries out when they are near her. She has been living in the laundry room to help provide her quiet comfort and she is happy. However we are moving and don't have a space in new home to provide an escape. She comes with Breeze litter box and refills. A Breeze Litter Geanie, a soft sided carrier and self food and watter. She would be a GREAT companion for a Senior!!!

Meet Kalla and Kimora (Kalla grey and white Kimora orange white grey) two sisters who have been in each other's business since birth. They are inseparable, co-dependent, and honestly kind of hilarious. They are professional nap buddies and synchronized window-bird-watchers. Kalla behaves like an older sister, does her own thing watch's what Kimora does. she loves her box's, high perches, and to sleep next to her person. Kimora loves the spotlight whatever you're doing shes curious and will be right beside you. She’s the one who wants all of the cuddles. They're the perfect snuggle buddies, they’ll curl up right next to you or on top of you.

I adopted Chloe from the Animal Humane Society last January. She was an owner surrender who had lived with the family since she was a kitten. At the time of the adoption, I wasn't aware that she had 2 other cat companions in the home, and only found out a couple months afterwards when I inquired about why she was still exhibiting characteristics of being lonely. I live alone with no other pets in my house, and have come to the conclusion that she would probably be much happier in a home where she could get more attention then I'm able to give her. I believe she would also enjoy having a cat companion based on her previous experience in her last home Chloe isn't a lap cat, but she is social, usually staying in the same room that I'm in. She will be 6 in January, but still has a lot of energy and enjoys a lot of playtime.

Louise spent the first 5–6 weeks of her life in a feral colony, and because of that, she’s still finding her confidence with people. She may be timid at first, but she’s also curious, observant, and quietly playful. Pull out a wand toy or a teaser, and you’ll see her little personality sparkle—she absolutely comes alive during playtime, and it’s one of the fastest ways to warm her heart. Louise has made steady progress in the short time she’s been inside. She allows petting, tolerates being picked up, and feels especially secure when she’s in her safe space. She does sometimes run and hide when approached, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she’s showing more and more trust each day. This sweet girl loves treats—especially salmon or tuna puree—and will happily take them right from your hand. She’s also wonderful with other cats and enjoys snuggling up with them or joining in on their games. Louise is also a litter box superstar and has never had an accident. Here’s a cute video of Louise playing and another video for your viewing enjoyment. With a patient, loving home that lets her grow at her own pace, she’ll blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion. She’s a precious little soul who just needs someone willing to help her confidence bloom. Louise is from a stray surrender with one sibling.

An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.   Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.Click here to watch a video of Louise.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 26, 2025, 12:12 pm
