Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota

Bonded brothers - must be rehomed together. Miney & Mo were the last 2 of a liter (Eenie, Meanie, Miney & Mo). From the moment we saw these 2 brothers we knew they couldn't be separated. They have been a part of our family for the past 4 years since they were kittens. They have grown up around our 2 preexisting older cats (1 female and 1 male) and do amazing with them. We often find them in cat cuddle piles. Miney is a bit more curious and adventurous whereas Mo enjoys the slower pace of life but can be convinced to play around by his brother. They both are snugglers and would love a family open to having them snuggle in bed in the morning. They get along great with kids and would prefer having someone to play with all day and give attention. We really hope to find a family looking to appreciate the playful and sweet nature of these boys and maybe grow with some littles of your own!

Wasi is fearless, adventurous, vivacious, and a penchant snuggler. She is just as happy exploring as she is in your lap. She loves meeting new people, seeing new places, looking out the window, having (supervised) outside time, and interactive play. Her favorite toys are lasers and anything on a string. She is a cat through and through and enjoys her independence, but will happily lend you her time on her terms. She is a proud cat who loves to be up high so she can look down up down the world. Wasi does well with our other girl, but, unfortunately, does not get along with our boys, so she would do best in a home without male cats.

Rufus, is the name I gave to this sweet stray cat that has been hanging around my property. He is not feral he is friendly to humans. I have been caring for a friendly, independent stray cat. While he gets along well with people, he seems to prefer his independence. Unfortunately, he has had a few altercations with my neutered male cat. This cat is currently unneutered. I have scheduled an appointment to have him neutered, receive a rabies vaccination, distemper shot, and flea treatment, all at my own expense. I am reaching out to inquire if you know of any organizations that assist in placing cats like him in barn or business homes. I am happy to cover any costs and can transport him to wherever he is needed. He is a sweet cat, and I want to ensure he finds a good, safe place to live that is more suited to his independent nature. He might be able to live in a home with an patient cat care giver.

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.November 11, 2025, 8:36 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. We’ve had Pepper since we picked him up from a local impound on June 21. He joined his two siblings, who we had rescued a few days earlier. Watching Pepper’s transformation over the past three and a half months has been amazing. From the start, Pepper adored his siblings and would happily lick treats off our fingers—but he made it very clear that he had no interest in being petted, picked up, or convinced to love us… at least for the first three months. Once his siblings were adopted, Pepper seemed to accept that he was stuck with us. Slowly, he began to let us pet him more and more—and then, one day, he even let us pick him up! Now that he’s realized what he was missing, he lives for affection. He loves cuddling on the bed and never stops purring. Pepper gets along well with other cats, is comfortable around dogs, and uses his litter box faithfully. This sweet boy is finally ready to find his forever home and soak up all the love he deserves for the rest of his life. Pepper is from a local impound.
