Calico kittens & cats in Zimmerman, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. My foster dad calls me Sweetheart due to my calico patterns; from a certain view they look like heart shapes. I was born in the wild during springtime 2023 to my feral calico mom. I spent my first year living in the woods near my foster dad's house. Lucky for me he put food out every day so I never really went hungry. When the weather started getting cold he provided a heated shelter for my mom and me and we spent many nights cuddled together inside where we stayed warm and dry.    Then I had kittens!  They were born the first week of April 2024 and our foster dad found them and then trapped me. I did not like being trapped or put in a cage or being in a trailer at first, but since my foster dad has been sheltering, feeding and playing with us since late April 2024, I have found being in a human's care is not that bad. I will let him pet me and brush me and I will even let him know I like it by purring for him. I will sometimes even stand in his lap for pets and purr. I especially like feeding time and treat time as I will gladly get in his lap for treats. I also like that he plays with my babies so I can take undisturbed naps. He named my babies Cleo, Penni, Wiley and Sylvester.   I am a clean kitty even though I have a lot of white fur. I like having a clean litter box and will use it well; it beats going out in the woods!   I think I would prefer a quieter house. I've met other people and even children and do ok but I will still put some distance between myself and them at least until I know them. I liked having my mom and a big gray cat for company, when I lived outside, so I may like being with another cat. I am afraid of dogs, though.   Sweetheart is from a stray surrender with her 4 kittens. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

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.

Norma is an incredibly sweet, friendly girl looking for a family who will adore her. She loves people and is the perfect companion. She could stand to shed a few pounds ( me too! ). She enjoys her cat tree and siting on your lap having her head scratched. Who wants to be the lucky person or family to add this doll to their home?  ##2041968##

Hi, I'm Mrs. Tabitha, Mrs. T for short! Do you ever wish you had a friend to sit with on the couch and judge the world with while you eat snacks - all while knowing you should diet? Are you experiencing a crisis and cut your own bangs like me? Do people talk on and on to you, and all you can do is space out and sit on your cardboard box and hope they will stop? Do you have the patience and not mind if I don't really like you at first, but will allow you to pet my chonky body? Do you wish you had a diet buddy who you can complain about the taste of diet food to? Then I am your girl! My name is Mrs. Tabitha! I am looking for the right person to give me a furever home and accept me as I am. I enjoy food, but the people at the rescue think I should lose some weight. I guess I could lose a few pounds, but hey, can't we all? I know if you meet me, you will think I don't like you - but that is just a front - I just dislike everyone else in the world. I just want one person who loves me for all that I am - could that be you? DOB (estimated) - 6/13/08 House trained - Yes Weight - 16lbs Gets along with kids - Older, responsible kids Gets along with cats - No Gets along with dogs - No Adoption fee - $90 Link to adoption application - https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat

Don't let my cute face fool you, I am an independent lady. I don't need anyone but feline friends. Ok so maybe I kinda might like you a little when your dishing out that canned food, brushing me, but that is it! And maybe I might like you if you have a toy mouse for me or if you are holding that thing that controls the red dot. But only then! I may also like you a little if you just happen to have some catnip but then I draw the line. If you think you can handle that then maybe just maybe someday we could be great friends but for now I need someone who can be understanding and patient. Humans weren't always so great to me. It's not my fault. I still deserve a chance. I personally think any human would be lucky to have a kitty as cute as me but I may be a bit bias ;) Date of birth (estimated): 12/6/18 Good with Dogs: Unknown Good with Cats: Yes House Trained: Yes Adoption Fee: $90 Submit an application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat I live at the Sanctuary.

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a sweet, snuggly, little girl who loves to love. I didn't get treated the best early in life. Because of this I had to have all my teeth removed. It's no so bad since I get to eat all canned food now. Yum! I get along with other kitty friends, but I absolutely love people. I would love to have a home where people have the time to give me affection and don't mind if I sit on their lap. I have times where I am independent but I do really love affection. If you think I might be the right fit for you fill out an adoption application and maybe we can meet! Adoption Fee $140 Apply Online: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat *Olivia does have reactions to vaccines so her new family will need to be prepared to make sure their vet is aware, and can give preventative medications before any new vaccines*
