Story
Hi there, I’m Zyla! I’m a beautiful, uniquely colored tortie kitten with a big personality, a brave little heart, and an even bigger love for playtime. When I was just a few days old, I lost one of my feet, but I never let that define me. I figured out my own way to move through the world, and now I get around wonderfully, climb like a champ, and keep up with every kitten adventure I can find. I’m also a perfect litter box user, which makes my foster humans very proud. I’m curious, determined, playful, and full of tortie sparkle. My spirit is bright and fearless, and I love showing everyone that being a little different only makes me more special. I love to chase, be chased, wrestle, zoom, and tumble with my “brother” Ziggi. I’m cool with other cats and small dogs, as long as I have a chance to slowly get to know them. I’m ready to find a forever home where I can play, explore, and share all my purrs. I’d do well with people who appreciate a brave, silly, affectionate kitten, and I would enjoy having another friendly pet around after a slow introduction. If you’re looking for a sweet kitten who will fill your home with play, purrs, and lots of love, I would be so excited to meet you. To learn more about Zyla, please complete an adoption application. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BKB-A-8186 Kittens need buddies! We require that kittens be adopted with a sibling or go to a home that already has another young companion animal. If you already have a young animal or another kitten in your home, great! If not, Zyla will need to be adopted with one of their siblings (Ziggi). The adoption fee for a kitten is $250. For a pair, the adoption fee is $500. Note: Kittens must be 10+ weeks old before they can go home. For more information about adopting a Bitty Kitty: https://bittykittybrigade.org/adopt/

Hi hi, I’m Ziggi! I’m a grey kitten with lots and lots of sillies—and lots of energy—packed into one tiny body. I love to pounce, zoom, wiggle, chase toys, explore everything, and make my foster humans giggle. I go-go-go like a little fuzzy rocket until—plop!—I fall asleep right where I am. I really, really love my foster humans. I like attention, snuggles, pets, and being close to my people. My foster family says they maybe should have named me Romeo because I’m such a soft, lovey, little guy. I’m goofy, busy, sweet, and full of purrs. Other cats? Yep, I’m good with them! I even grew up with a small dog, so I know a thing or two about sharing my space. My very best friend is my “sister,” Zyla, and we have so much fun together. I’d be happy in a forever home with another friendly pet to play with, and with people who are ready for plenty of kitten energy, snuggles, and tiny happy purrs. If you have room in your heart for a goofy, loving little guy like me, I can’t wait to bring all my kitten fun to you!

Story
Erie Doctrine has come an incredible long way! She initially arrived at animal control VERY scared and spent WEEKS there before TCPR was able to bring her into rescue. But you’d never know it now! This sweet girl has completely blossomed and is showing everyone what a wonderful companion she can be. 🥹 These days, Erie Doctrine is social, outgoing, and curious. She loves getting attention from her humans, keeping an eye on the world outside through the windows, and exploring everything around her. And every now and then, she gets a little playful! Don’t worry—she’s not bouncing off the walls like a young kitten. Her playfulness is perfectly age-appropriate and absolutely adorable. 😻 Erie Doctrine does well with other cats and kids, and we think she’d probably do just fine with a respectful dog with a proper introduction. She’s the kind of cat who has learned to trust and enjoy the good things in life, and we couldn’t be happier to see how far she’s come. After such a scary start, Erie Doctrine deserves a forever home where she can continue to feel safe, loved, and spoiled. If you’re looking for a sweet, social companion with a curious personality and just the right amount of playful energy, look no further! Erie Doctrine is fixed, microchipped, FIV/FeLv negative, and up to date on vaccinations for her age. Adoption Fee: $285 + applicable tax Come visit Erie Doctrine at Pet Supplies Plus located in Bloomington at 3701 W Old Shakopee Rd, Bloomington, MN 55431. ADOPT ME: If you’d like to begin the adoption process, please fill out an adoption application by visiting https://www.twincitiespetrescue.org/adopt/ , search for the profile, and click on “Apply for Adoption”. A volunteer from Twin Cities Pet Rescue will contact you within 3 business days. FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!!! Twin Cities Pet Rescue is a volunteer-run, foster home-based organization.
