We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 13, 2025, 5:51 pm

He’s a vocal guy who’s not afraid to share his thoughts, especially when he’s curious or just wants a little attention. Silver was left in a dog carrier in the rescue’s parking lot with two feline friends, but he’s slowly settling in and showing us who he really is. Silver is quite the little snugglebug! He seems happiest when he is curled up next to someone, and his purr motor will run hard! He especially loves to get under the covers with you. He gets along well with other cats. We’re unsure how he feels about dogs or children, so slow, respectful introductions are recommended to help him feel safe and secure. If you’re looking for a curious companion with a gentle spirit and a charming little voice, Silver might be the perfect addition to your home. Silver is from a stray surrender.

After 10 weeks in our care, she has just started venturing into the hallway from her safe space in the bedroom. She spends much of her time under the futon but will occasionally come out for pets when I’m in the room. Loud noises startle her, so she would thrive in a quiet home with one or two patient adults. When she feels safe and comfortable, Precious is incredibly affectionate and playful. She has a great appetite and appears to be in good health. At her vet visit, a slight heart sound was noted—possibly a murmur—but it may have been due to her nerves at the time. With the right home, we’re confident Precious will continue to blossom into the loving companion she’s meant to be. Take a look at these sweet videos of Precious when she feels comfortable with her people: Video 1 Video 2 Video 3 Video 4 Precious is a Stray Surrender from Granite Falls, MN.

Oshi was abandoned by his owner when he moved out of my home and I am not home enough to give him the proper care and attention. Oshi can be somewhat slow to warm up to new people, but when he does, he will love you like crazy. He loves to be petted and cuddle, but he prefers it be his choice. He would be best in a home with no small children or other pets. He was beat up by his previous cat mates and since he had no front claws he could not defend himself. Oshi is a lover and has an incredible personality.
