Story
Looking for a forever home for these 2 sweet boys. They were rescued together after living as strays and they love each other, so a home together would be ideal for them. Because they were strays, they will be shy at first, but they will quickly become your best friend and they are very playful and affectionate. I have had them indoors for about 3 months and they are very well behaved. Even though they are a little older (approximately a year old), they still have plenty of energy and they love to play! They are neutered, vaccinated and use the litter box perfectly. If I didn't already have a house full of cats, I would love to keep them, but I'm not able to at this time. They are going to be a wonderful addition to their new home and will give you lots of laughter and so much love! They are currently in northern Iowa and I am happy to transport them anywhere for their perfect home.

Story
Hi, I'm Dobby — a spunky grey kitten with adorable white socks and a couple of brothers named Deek and Kreacher. If you're a HP fan, you probably noticed we are named after house elves! I am ready to bring adventure and affection into your home. I'm mischievous and loyal, which means I'll keep you entertained while stealing your heart - and maybe your socks - at every turn. I'm the perfect pint-sized companion for cuddles and playtime. Come meet me and my brothers and let's start our adventures together! All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.

Story
JJ was born in May 2025 and has been in foster care since his very early days. JJ is now ready to find his new home. JJ was rescued from outside when he was stuck in a heavy rainstorm and was barely alive when we took him in. Now JJ is a very spunky boy and loves to take a ride on your back or jump on your back when you aren't looking. JJ also likes to go under the covers and play with your feet when you're sleeping. If you are interested in a very "paws on" cat - JJ just might be your guy.
