Story
Older gal who’s hoping a kind person will take her in and spoil her in her golden yearsHer previous person sadly had to go into the nursing home; family members cared for Trea as long as they couldAccording to family, Trea previously lived with another cat in her younger years but has been a solo pet for over 10 years now – so she may do best in a similar environment, where she can have all the spotlight on herShe loves to catch some sun in front of windows or lounged out on the porchEnjoys attention and brushing, but will communicate when she’d like a breakOnce Trea bonds with someone, they become her favorite and she turns into a lap cat who also prefers to snuggle in bed at night!Can still be pretty playful with her favorite mouse toys — especially in the middle of the night — and gets a thrill out of laser pointersHas a fondness for food puzzle toys with treat rewardsNot a fan of loud noises or sudden movementsNeeds an adopter who’s patient and understanding while Trea adjusts to these sudden life changes and acclimates to her new home, on her own time. According to her former foster family, once she settles in, “she’ll become your sassy new best friend!”Trea’s adoption fee is reduced and on a sliding scale. If you’re interested in meeting her, please submit an application for next steps. We’re happy to work with potential adopters to find the right amount that works within your budget, especially if it helps Trea find her best fit family!

Story
Very confident, friendly, and outgoing natureSuper playful, both with people and other catsIt’s important that he finds a family ready to keep him busy and activeDoes very well around small dogs (unsure of larger dogs, but is likely to adjust just fine with intro)Chatterbox — he makes sure to keep an open line of communication with his humansFood-motivatedGreat with litterbox training, grooming, and nail trimsGeodude’s content to hang out, explore, and nap pretty much anywhere (he’s more of a fan of napping on the floor or hard surfaces than he is in cat beds)Important note: since Geodude is under 6 months of age and extremely playful, it is our policy that he joins a home with another cat/kitten or be adopted with another kitten. Having a buddy reduces the possibility of single kitten syndrome. If you’re looking to adopt two kittens together, we’re offering a $200 adoption fee for kitten pairs!Please note: applications will be screened for best fit for both Geodude and the potential adopter. Adopters MUST be within a reasonable distance of Winona, MN, or willing to travel, to visit him before adoption occurs. To give families the opportunity to seriously consider welcoming a pet home after meeting them, we do not offer same-day adoption; a pickup time is scheduled after the initial visit.

Story
Observations from Spats' foster home: "Spats is very slow to warm up. It took about 3 weeks of leaving him alone to find his comfort. He was in the room but observing from afar. Slowly he got closer and closer, and now he's the most loving cat we've had. Patience is the key for sure. He LOVES Churus, plays well with our dog, but knows his boundaries. Spats is calm and cool. The tip of his tongue is out slightly most of the time, so cute!"Since Spats is under 6 months of age, it is our policy that he joins a home with another cat/kitten or be adopted with another kitten.

Story
Magnolia’s looking for her special place to feel safe and blossom. She came to Winona Area Humane Society from part of an outdoor colony, and she gave birth to two kittens the day after arriving. Thankfully, a devoted foster welcomed Magnolia’s little family home where she raised her kittens in comfort. And now that they’ve begun their own adventures, it’s Magnolia’s turn to receive all the care!Because Magnolia has experienced a lot of shifting within the past few months, she’s still pretty unsure of her surroundings and may withdraw from the commotion at first. But with the help of treats and gentle chin scratches, she gets that purr motor going and is receptive to making friends.Magnolia loves to burrow under blankets, establishing a safe space where she can peek out to see what’s going on. She’s more interested in snuggling up vs. playtime, although that may change within the calmness of a home.As of now, Magnolia prefers her own personal bubble and hasn’t been a fan of close contact with other cats. That could be dependent on each personality involved and, again, may be different once she’s out of the chaotic shelter environment. We envision her coexisting well with another relaxed cat who also enjoys the calmer things in life.For anyone seeking to change a life through adoption, we encourage you to give Magnolia a chance. She deserves the opportunity to relax, explore, and establish herself as a beloved family companion.
