Kittens and cats in White Bear Lake, Minnesota

Sweet little Hayley is now 16 weeks old. Having fostered many kittens, she is the sweetest gentlest kitten with the nicest temperament I have ever met! Hayley is extremely social and affectionate and loves to play. She is food motivated and loves her treats. She has very soft paws and will lick me gently during play instead of biting. Her coat feels like cashmere and will be very low maintenance. She enjoys her window time and sunning and sniffing on the catio. She is very cuddly and has a big purr and enjoys sleeping on my pillow at night. She would love a busier home where she can receive lots of cuddles and attention. She loved being petted, held, and carried around. Hayley will require another friendly young cat in the home so she can play and cuddle with a sibling. Hayley is vetted, fully vaccinated, dewormed and has flea and tick preventative but the adopter will be responsible to spay her.

Five cute-as-can-be kittens who were born in our program and are 16 weeks old. They are all very friendly, social, playful and well adjusted. They would like to be adopted in pairs so they have a kitten friend. Marigold has lovely calico markings. Don't let her tiny size fool you; she is a pint-sized extrovert with a larger-than-life personality. She is the ultimate social butterfly of the group and always on the go. When she finally winds down, this chatty girl loves to tell you all about her day before showering you with sweet nose-boop kisses and settling in for cozy lap time. Poppy is a beautiful dilute calico and a brave little adventurer who is incredibly social with humans and always eager to investigate new things. She easily matches the high-energy antics of her siblings. Beyond her playful acrobatics, she has a deeply sweet soul and shows her love by grooming her littermates, the fosters dog and her humans. Clover is a gorgeous dilute calico with a remarkably gentle and polite personality. She is wonderfully patient during playtime, waiting her turn for toys, or eagerly sharing them. She loves chasing balls with bells in them and finding new hidey-holes for quick naps. More than anything, this sweet girl absolutely loves chin scritches and will quickly melt into your hand for some dedicated affection. Violet is a gorgeous gray tabby. Although she may be on the smaller side, this chatty little girl is an athletic powerhouse who will outmaneuver anyone to chase a toy. After showing off her acrobatic skills, she loves nothing more than demonstrating her champion snuggle skills when she settles down in the arms (or neck) of her human. Hobbes is a handsome orange tabby and a loveable goofball. He loves being the life of the party and enthusiastic playtime. When he really wants to show off his bubbly kitten energy, it is absolutely hilarious to watch him wrestle a kicker toy for his very life. Once he has thoroughly conquered his plush adversaries, he is wonderfully gentle and loves nothing more than lounging in your lap for dedicated chin scritches. They can make a toy out of anything; cardboard boxes are great hiding places and napping places. All use their cardboard scratching pad and their carpeted scratching post. They are in a foster home with a small dog and do fine with her; they are too active to be adopted into a home with adult cats. They may be okay with older respectful children (10 years and up) but they havent been around kids in our program. Cats can live 18+ years so be sure you can give them their forever homes. They are all spayed/neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, and have had all three of their kitten distemper vaccinations. As noted, they need to be adopted in pairs (except one can be adopted alone). Their adoption fee is $350 for a pair, $200 for one. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about seeing these friendly, playful kittens.

MALCOLM and MARNIE are approx. 5.5 years old. They are both cute brown and white tabbies who came into our program as strays and were very, very scared, but they have enjoyed the routine in their foster home and their individual personalities have blossomed. They love being together and Marnie feels braver with Malcolm nearby. Malcolm has short hair and loves playing with his two rope toys in particular, pushing them under a door and then trying to scoop them back inside. When called, he stops whatever he’s doing to enthusiastically run over for affection. Malcolm is so excited to get neck rubs and back scratches that he happily purrs and bonks his head into anything and everything nearby - furniture, his foster’s legs, his food dish, or whatever else happens to be close! He will sit on his foster's lap when she is relaxing and has become so much more trusting in his foster home. Marnie has lovely thick, medium hair and had become more at ease. She is very curious and likes to check out what her people are doing and wants to be in the same room as they are. She loves treats and eats out of her foster’s hand and has learned that being petting is great while she purrs happily. Marnie enjoys playing with any kind of interactive feather toy. She loves sitting on the top of her cat tree by the window and watching the activity in the yard. If you are the special person who has a lot of patience, a calm presence, and can give Malcolm and Marnie a quiet home and consistent routine, they will give you so much in return (they do well when they know what to expect). They would do best in a home without other animals or children and in a home where their people don't plan on moving. Malcolm and Marnie are neutered/spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Their adoption fee is $320 for the adorable pair. Call 651-771-5662 if you are the special person for these two sweet cats.

Benny is a handsome 1 year old boy. He is buff and white and has lovely gold eyes. He is a friendly and active young cat who purrs when you pet him. Benny is very curious and always has to check out what you are doing and be part of it. He is food motivated so be sure you don’t leave human food out on the counters. Benny would like you to be his best friend and include him in what you are doing. He likes just about any toy and uses the cardboard floor scratcher and his carpeted scratching tree. The most exciting part of the day is watching the birds and squirrels outside the patio door. Ben is good with other cats or he could be adopted as an only cat as long as you aren't gone long hours every day. He has not been around dogs in our program and would probably do best in a home without dogs. He is good with the foster’s older grandchild. Remember, cats can live 18+ years so be sure you can provide them with a forever home. Benny is neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200 each. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about cute Benny.

CALI and BENNIE are approximately 5 years old. Although they aren't littermates, they have been together since they were kittens, and they balance each other beautifully, with Bennie bringing exuberance and affection while Cali offers a quiet presence, sweet companionship, and a touch of independent charm. They are looking for a forever home together, where they can keep each other company and share their love with someone who appreciates two very different but compatible personalities. Their owner died so Second Chance was asked to take them into our program. Bennie is a brown and gold tiger with striking green eyes and a sweet, trusting nature. Once he bonds with his person, he gives his whole heart. He is a deeply affectionate boy who loves to cuddle and will curl up on a lap, chest, or stretched out right alongside someone while they relax or watch TV. Sometimes he even reaches up with a gentle paw to ask for more attention. Bennie adores scratches, enjoys massages, and purrs endlessly and happily. He is calm, tolerant, and incredibly sweet-natured. Although he is usually quiet, he becomes very vocal when food or treats might be involved, since he is highly motivated by the chance of a snack. His energy and agility show when he leaps enthusiastically to the top of his cat tree and flips over with his tummy in the air, and he is just as happy being carried around or being held by his person. Although he loves being near people and enjoys being around Cali, he has not been accepting of the other cats in his foster home. Cali is a lovely calico with a soft coat, green eyes, and a personality that blends independence with affection. She is quieter than Bennie and communicates with adorable chirps and meeps, but she is very clear when she wants attention. She will confidently bonk her head into a hand to demand pets and will continue until she gets the affection she is seeking. Cali takes a bit longer than Bennie to warm up to new people, but once she does, she becomes a devoted and relaxed lounging companion who prefers to stretch out beside someone rather than on their lap. She often lies on her back with her tummy up. When her human is working, she will come over, put her paws on their knees, and give a soft little chirp until she receives some pets. Cali is independent and particular about how she wants to be handled, and she does not like being held or carried, but she is deeply affectionate in her own way and loves being close to her person on her own terms. Cali is especially captivated by light reflections and loves to chase them across the floor or up the walls, and she also enjoys batting around her poofy pom-pom toys. Cali is quite a bit overweight and is on low calorie food to help slowly take some weight off (and she is getting exercise by playing with her fosters). The adopter must continue monitoring her food intake and keep her on a low cal food. They both love hanging out on their cat tree by the window or snoozing inside their felt cat cave beds. Both like simple cardboard scratchers; Bennie prefers an angled one, while Cali enjoys spending time on a cardboard lounger that she scratches on and uses as her little perch. Since they have grown up together, they must be adopted as a pair. They would prefer a home without dogs or other cats; they have not been around children in our program but should be fine with older, respectful kids (12+ years). Bennie and Cali are neutered/spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Their adoption fee is $350 for the sweet pair. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about this affectionate duo.

HOUSTON and OBI are best friends and must be adopted together. They are all black (beautiful shiny fur) with lovely green eyes. Houston is approx. 10 months old and Obi is approx. 2 years old. They are both very sweet, gentle and friendly boys. Houston and Obi LOVE being petted, watching TV, and almost any toy, especially the racetrack with the ball in it. They will run and chase each other and play constantly until its time to take a nap on the fosters lap. They are the sweetest boys... an equal balance of playful entertainment and snuggles on you . . . both at the same time (they have no problem sharing your lap). They use their scratching tree like good boys and love watching the activity out the windows. Houston has lovely long whiskers and is super playful; he thinks everything is a toy. He is also a total lap kitty - he loves to lay on your lap and will rub on you wanting attention and will purr like crazy. A good mix of playful and cuddly. Obi has adorable fangs that hang over his upper lip. He is also super playful and will chase and bat a ball all over the room. Obi loves to curl up and snuggle up tight against you and wants your arm around him as he purrs happily. He is a talker and always has something to say to you and will respond when you talk to him. They will be a little shy the first day or two in their new home but then blossom into social, playful cats. They have not been around dogs or kids in our program so a home without would be best. They are neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Their adoption fee is $350 for the pair. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about these wonderful boys.
