Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Algona, Iowa

Sweet-faced Smuckers is part of a whole family of large fluffy cats with short faces and long tails. They all share too many genes, some of which may be Persian. We don’t know exactly how Smuckers is related to any particular family member. Is Tiptree his brother/father/son/nephew/cousin? We know Cutie is not his mom, but is she his sister, half-sister, daughter or niece? And/or? Fortunately, everyone in the family is now altered, so no need to try to sort out the genetic relationships of any more potential offspring! Really, it doesn’t matter. Smuckers arrived dirty, matted, and scared, but he has turned out cuddly and playful. He likes treats and toys and attention. He needs some help with maintaining his long fluffy tail, but honestly, can you resist that floof? We estimate this pretty boy was born about March/April of 2023. Smuckers is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Would you like a house lion? Maybe two or three? We have a whole family of large fluffy cats with short faces and long tails. They all share too many genes, some of which may be Persian, and they are all looking for homes. Dundee, Seville, and Tang are all giant orange boys who spend most of their time dozing or hoping for treats. They are solid, not fat, despite rarely moving around. They do like toys, particularly ones you can use to play with them, but mostly just want to sprawl somewhere comfy and occasionally crack an eye open or yawn. Dundee needs the most help with his fur as it seems to tangle more than others. He complains a lot about baths or combing but is generally gentle. Seville is currently the most interested in approaching humans, and treats a visiting puppy with total indifference. Tang is regrowing a layer of almost buff outer fluff, likes toys, tolerates being picked up, but is a bit shy. These big boys are neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Who wouldn’t want an armful of this big sweet boy? Tiptree is as nice as the jams he is named for. He was scared and shy when he and his family first arrived, but he is a gentle giant purrfect for cuddles. He likes wand toys, high cozy spots, treats, and patient affection. Tiptree is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.

****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org**** Stunning doesn't even begin to describe Ridley's fur coat and check out that tail! His mom and siblings were dumped in the country at a sanctuary for farm animals.  We imagine the ones who did it probably assumed they would just go unnoticed amongst the other animals on the property.  However, Retta, Ridley and Reeves were skinny, sick and covered in fleas so the family that cares for the sanctuary animals reached out for help and since they have helped up in placing farm animals, we were happy to help them with the mom and kittens. The siblings were born late April of 2025.  Ridley is a shy guy that is learning how to trust and relax around people.  He does love other cats and we think in a home setting where things are quiet and he could become comfortable he will very likely grow in to a calm yet sweet and oh so handsome guy!   He is neutered, microchipped, negative on FeLV/FIV and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants.  December 15, 2025, 9:58 pm

Beautiful classic orange tabby Valencia was extremely friendly and affectionate when she first arrived at the shelter. Sadly, everything soon went wrong, and she is only now beginning to warm up to people again. Valencia is part of a whole big family of fluffy orange or brown tabby cats with much too similar features because they share too many genes. Subsequent generations were likely doomed from the start.  Valencia was heavily pregnant and went into labor not long after being settled in a cozy bed. Tragically, none of the kittens who were delivered alive survived more than a couple of days and poor Valencia had to be rushed to emergency surgery. The cat who came back to the shelter wanted nothing to do with people. She loves the rest of her family, is cautiously starting to join playtime, and tolerates the occasional pet, but still spends a lot of time hanging back or glaring suspiciously. Will you be the one to coax out the sweet girl under the growls again?    Valencia was born approximately April of 2023. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
