Story
Hi there… I’m Boss Man! 
And yes, I know, I’m very, very adorable. You can tell just by looking at me. I didn’t always live the good life. I came to the sanctuary as part of the “Glencoe” cats, after spending my days outside fighting for food and shelter. When I first arrived, I was pretty scared… and honestly, I wasn’t impressed with the humans at all. I even earned my name by being the Boss of the ISO room, telling everyone to go away and mind their business! But guess what? Humans grew on me. Turns out they’re pretty great. They give pets (which feel amazing), lots of love, and, most importantly, tasty lickable treats. Those treats were the key to my heart, and they’ll be the key to helping me feel comfortable in my new home too. I’ll need a family who understands that I’ll hide at first and take some time to adjust. Please be patient with me, once I trust you, you’ll see what a sweet, loving guy I really am. I absolutely love other cats. Snuggling with them, playing with them, sharing cozy naps… a feline friend is a must for me. I’m playful, always zooming around with toys, and I especially go wild for catnip bananas and catnip toys. Pure joy. These days, I even enjoy greeting visitors, especially if they come bearing treats. From tough outdoor boss to luxury-loving sweetheart, I’ve come a long way. If you think you could be my patient, loving forever human, come meet me. You can visit me daily from 1–5pm… I’ll be the adorable guy waiting for treats and pets. I have excellent litter box habits. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I even had a dental recently, so all my teeth are clean. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.

Story
Hi… I’m Cupcake. Yes, the Cupcake! I’m a beautifully plump senior brown tabby with a personality that keeps life interesting. One minute I’m sweet as frosting, the next I’ve got a little spice… okay, maybe a lot. I’m hot, I’m cold, I’m up, I’m down… but that’s what makes me unforgettable. Mornings are my thing. I’ll come right up to you, meowing (very cutely, I might add) and asking for attention like the queen I am. I love my pets, my head scratches, and I’ll even rub up against your legs to remind you I’m there. But don’t get too confident… I’m also a diva, and sometimes I prefer admiration from a respectful distance. Love me on my terms, and we’ll get along just fine. I didn’t always feel this confident. When I first arrived, I was scared and unsure of people. But with time, patience, love… and yes, plenty of food… I’ve come out of my shell. I still need someone who understands that I’ll take a little time to adjust in a new home. I might hide at first, but give me space and I promise I’m worth the wait. A few fun facts about me: • I have no teeth… but don’t let that fool you… I crunch my food like a pro. • I love being brushed (when I’m in the mood, of course). • Cozy beds, sunshine naps, and catnip are my absolute favorites. • I get along well rubbing up against other cats… I just like doing things my way. So if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion with a little sass, a lot of charm, and a heart that shines through once you earn it… I might just be your girl. Come meet me between 1–5pm. I’ll be the fabulous one waiting for you. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing. If you are interested in adopting Cupcake, please come visit… we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)… we need to meet you in person! If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@furballcats.com or message us on Facebook: Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary.

I’m looking for a family who will let me continue being the happy, playful kitten that I am. I also need to go home with one of my foster siblings or to a home that already has a cat. Kittens do best with a kitty friend to grow, play, and get into trouble with! If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy little tortie to add to your family, I just might be your girl! Come meet me in Northfield, MN! I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV.

Story
Hi… my name is Sadie! I’m a little spiced brown tabby with the prettiest splashes of orange sprinkled throughout my coat and big, beautiful eyes that see everything. My fur is extra soft, just wait until you feel it. Before coming here, I lived underneath an abandoned mobile home. Life out there was scary, and I came to the sanctuary very feral and very afraid. It took quite a bit of time, patience, and love before the humans could even touch me. I’m still a little shy at first, and big movements can make me nervous, but please don’t let that fool you. Deep down, I am a total sweetheart. Once I trust you, I love being petted. I’ll rub up against your legs to remind you I’m there (fair warning, if you’re a fall risk, I may not be your girl!). I show my affection in quiet, gentle ways, and I truly enjoy being close to my people once I feel safe. When I go to my forever home, I’ll need someone who understands that I will hide at first. New places are scary. But with time, food, treats, and lots of love, I promise I’ll slowly come out of my shell. Patience means everything to a girl like me. I absolutely adore other cats and would do best in a home with a feline companion to cuddle with. Some of my favorite things include treat time, lounging on the catio, napping on heated beds, and snuggling up with my kitty friends. If you’re gentle, patient, and have room in your heart (and home) for a shy but loving soul, I just might be your perfect match. You can come visit me any day between 1–5pm. I’ll be waiting. I have excellent litter box habits. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV&FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.

Story
Hi… I’m Baby Ruth. Sweet like candy… but I take a little time to unwrap. I’ve been at the sanctuary for quite a few years now. When I first got here, I was not a fan of humans. I thought you were weird… maybe even a little gross. I kept my distance and made it very clear that I preferred things that way. But with time, patience, love… and let’s be honest, plenty of snacks… something changed. I started to trust. And underneath all that fear? There I was… the sweet girl I was always meant to be. Now, I won’t pretend I’m instantly outgoing. I’m still shy when meeting new people, and in a new home I’ll need time to adjust. My future family will need to understand that I won’t blossom overnight… but if you give me that chance, I promise I am so worth the wait. Because once I’m comfortable with you… oh, that’s when the magic happens. I have the cutest little meow… I use it to let you know when I’d like some pets. And when you start petting me? Don’t plan on going anywhere… because I’ll follow you around asking for more and more love. Sometimes I’ll even reach out my paw like, “Excuse me… you forgot something… ME.” I don’t mind being held for short periods, but I’m more of a “love me on my terms” kind of girl. You’ll often find me stretched out with my arms all sprawled on a cozy bed or perched on a cat tree, soaking up the sunshine like it’s my job. I’m a beautiful tuxedo lady with gorgeous amber eyes, and I get along great with other cats… I’d really love a home with a feline friend to help me feel safe and confident. Oh! And I recently had a dental, so my smile is fresh, clean, and ready to win you over. If you’re someone who understands that the sweetest bonds take time… and you’re willing to let me come to you at my own pace… I think you’ll fall in love with me before you even realize it. Come visit me daily from 1–5pm. I’m sweet… you just don’t know it yet. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing. If you are interested in adopting Baby Ruth, please come visit… we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)… we want to meet you in person!

Story
Meet Kahuna… A.K.A. The Big Kahuna! (…don’t let the name fool you—I’m not that big) Hey there… I’m Kahuna. A dark brown tabby with striking green eyes and a personality that sneaks up on you… in the best way. I didn’t always feel this confident, though. When I first arrived at the sanctuary, I was completely feral and honestly… pretty terrified of everything. Humans? Hard pass. But something amazing happened. With a whole lot of patience, gentle love, and, let’s be real, really good food, I started to realize people aren’t so bad after all. Now? I’ve got a lot to say… and the cutest little meow to prove it. I’ll be honest with you… if you take me home, I might hide at first. New places are scary, and I like to take my time figuring things out. But if you give me that space and let me come around on my own terms, I promise I’ll show you just how special I am. I’m the kind of cat who is absolutely worth the wait. Once I trust you? Ohhh, you’re in for it. I LOVE head scratches. And once you start petting me… don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I’ll follow you around, politely (or not-so-politely) asking for more. Sometimes I’ll even give you a little love tap like, “Hey… you missed a spot.” I’m also a professional treat beggar… especially during visiting hours. Those lickable treats? I will plead my case like my life depends on it. And honestly… I usually win. A few more things you should know about me: • I’m a big fan of catnip… especially those kicker toys • I love playing and would really enjoy having another cat friend • Sunbathing? One of my top hobbies • I’m still a little shy with new people, so patience is key • I’m not much for being picked up (yet!), but who knows what the future holds Oh… and I recently had a dental, so my smile is fresh and ready for my next chapter If you’re looking for a cat who will grow into your heart, make you work (just a little) for his love, and then never let you forget how much he adores you… I might just be your guy. Come visit me daily from 1–5 PM. I’ll be the handsome one with the green eyes… probably asking someone for treats. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat. I am fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing. If you are interested in adopting Kahuna, please come visit… we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)… we want to meet you in person!
