Story
We found him abandoned, and no one has come to claim him. He’s a sweet guy with a big personality. He loves attention and will cry for you to give it to him. He eats wet food, as from what I can see he does not have all his teeth.

Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Julep was a stray my friends had found - she seems to be a domestic cat originally because she was microchipped with an out-of-date contact. I offered to take care of her, but after significant attempts, she is not acclimating to my resident cats. As a territorial kitty, she feels scared and threatened by other cats. Unsure how she would do with dogs, but I find it unlikely. She loves being around people and is incredibly affectionate and sweet. What she needs is someone who has **no other pets,** can give her attention, and has the space for her to be cozy (cat trees by windows and hiding holes underneath beds or in closets). She truly wants a lot of company and love. I haven't been able to get her to play, but a more supportive environment would likely make her more active!

Story
George is the youngest of the Marigold kittens, and he is a genius. He hit all his kitten milestones a week early; he's the first to figure out the litter box, the first to climb to the top of the kitten tower, and the first to come up for petting. That said, he's 8 weeks old; he's still figuring things out. Don't ask him to do your taxes until at least 12 weeks. He is very energetic, and sometimes plays too rough for Hazel, but they still sleep together in the cat hammock. The Marigold kittens were born in my house after their mom came up to me outside a movie theater in St. Paul and asked to be picked up. We got her fed and medicated, and her babies were born healthy, early in the morning on 09/29/2025. George must be adopted with Hazel. Adoption fee will be donated to a local rescue.

Meet the very playful and affectionate Billie Joe. She will lay in your lap as long as you will let her. When you talk to her she answers you with the cutest little squeaky meow, then she settles down for a long nap in your lap. She is a very gentle girl that loves engaging with people and playing with her toys. She enjoys playing with any other cats you may have. She’s such a beautiful girl with a little pink tipped nose and lovely eyes. She was born in August 2023. She has been spayed and is up to date on her vaccinations.

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Calcifer is a friendly and affectionate 1-year-old black cat (born May 1, 2024 to a friends barn cat). He is exceptionally social and cuddly. He loves meeting new people, being picked up, smooshed, and carried around like a baby. He’s fearless and curious and talkative. Unfortunately, he is not the right match for my other cat, who is shy and anxious. Calcifer wants to play and wrestle, which means constantly tackling my timid cat, and that cat has been getting sick with anxiety. Cal might do well with another confident, playful cat. Since he’s so comfortable being handled, he might do well with kids. Cal is healthy and happy, but was born with a rear right leg deformity (pictured). It does not slow him him. He runs, climbs, and plays just fine, but he cannot jump as high as other cats. Vets recommend an amputation to avoid arthritis in the long term from his unusual gait. He needs a booster on his shots.

Story
Bonded pair of adult neutered males, Phantom and Midnight. SW Minneapolis. Roughly 7 years old. Good with kids and humans (kind of attention hogs), not sure how they'd do with other pets, although they are generally chill bois. They belonged to a human who used to live with me and now doesn't, and who chose to leave them here and get a new cat instead. I'm allergic and just not able to give them the attention they need, and it's not fair to them. They are healthy and up to date on shots. I will ask for a donation to Alley Cat Allies (they're former strays) as part of the adoption. I don't need the money but they're not "free" bc I've heard too many horror stories. I'm probably going to want to see where they'd be living. They may not be my cats, but I care about them and want a good place for them.
