Story
Tofu and Minerva are cuddly and sweet and love people. They are 4 year old sisters and are a bonded pair. They were abandoned by their mom, a stray, and rescued at 4 weeks old. Their people are relocating and cannot take them with. They have lived happily with kids and other cats. Tofu will sit on your lap for hours and follow you around the house, taking breaks to chase her tail and chirp at birds. Minerva is a little more shy, but will greet visitors and sit with them, and loves to join people for their bedtime routine so that she can sleep next to your pillow or at the foot of your bed. Neither have health issues or are escape artists. Tofu likes sweaters and is okay with harnesses. They have a gravity feeder and use the litter box without fail. They come with a litter genie and nail clippers, a litter box and cat tree and Tofu packed her sweater. They need a new home as soon as possible, and do have transportation as long as you live 2hrs or less from Mankato.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sam is a quiet, gentle guy who likes to take things slow. He can be a little reserved at first, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet side really shows. He’s not the loudest or most demanding cat — he’s more of a calm presence who just likes being nearby. He really enjoys other cats and would probably do best in a home with a feline friend. Having a buddy to hang out or nap with seems to bring out the best in him. Sam is a soft-hearted, easygoing cat who just needs a little time and a lot of kindness. Once he trusts you, he’s a truly sweet companion.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Merrow is a confident, self-possessed cat who’s looking for a home where he can settle in and feel in control of his space. He carries himself with a quiet assurance and tends to know exactly what he wants. While he may take a little time to adjust at first, once he’s comfortable, he settles nicely into a routine and enjoys being part of the home. He has a gentle, affectionate side that comes out more as he builds trust. Merrow enjoys attention on his own terms—leaning in for pets, relaxing nearby, and keeping you company without being overly demanding. He does best with a calm, respectful approach and someone who understands his boundaries. Merrow also has a curious, observant nature. He enjoys watching the world around him, exploring his environment, and finding cozy spots to stretch out and relax. He’s a nice mix of independent and companionable. Because of his personality, Merrow would likely do best as the only cat, where he can fully relax and be himself. Merrow is a steady, thoughtful cat who will thrive in a home that appreciates his independent spirit. With the right match, he’ll be a loyal, quietly affectionate companion.
