Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Zimmerman, Minnesota

Hi, I'm Mrs. Tabitha, Mrs. T for short! Do you ever wish you had a friend to sit with on the couch and judge the world with while you eat snacks - all while knowing you should diet? Are you experiencing a crisis and cut your own bangs like me? Do people talk on and on to you, and all you can do is space out and sit on your cardboard box and hope they will stop? Do you have the patience and not mind if I don't really like you at first, but will allow you to pet my chonky body? Do you wish you had a diet buddy who you can complain about the taste of diet food to? Then I am your girl! My name is Mrs. Tabitha! I am looking for the right person to give me a furever home and accept me as I am. I enjoy food, but the people at the rescue think I should lose some weight. I guess I could lose a few pounds, but hey, can't we all? I know if you meet me, you will think I don't like you - but that is just a front - I just dislike everyone else in the world. I just want one person who loves me for all that I am - could that be you?

Don't let my cute face fool you, I am an independent lady. I don't need anyone but feline friends. Ok so maybe I kinda might like you a little when your dishing out that canned food, brushing me, but that is it! And maybe I might like you if you have a toy mouse for me or if you are holding that thing that controls the red dot. But only then! I may also like you a little if you just happen to have some catnip but then I draw the line. If you think you can handle that then maybe just maybe someday we could be great friends but for now I need someone who can be understanding and patient. Humans weren't always so great to me. It's not my fault. I still deserve a chance. I personally think any human would be lucky to have a kitty as cute as me but I may be a bit bias ;) Date of birth (estimated): 12/6/18 Good with Dogs: Unknown Good with Cats: Yes House Trained: Yes Adoption Fee: $90 Submit an application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat I live at the Sanctuary.

Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a sweet, snuggly, little girl who loves to love. I didn't get treated the best early in life. Because of this I had to have all my teeth removed. It's no so bad since I get to eat all canned food now. Yum! I get along with other kitty friends, but I absolutely love people. I would love to have a home where people have the time to give me affection and don't mind if I sit on their lap. I have times where I am independent but I do really love affection. If you think I might be the right fit for you fill out an adoption application and maybe we can meet! Adoption Fee $140 Apply Online: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FEHR/Cat *Olivia does have reactions to vaccines so her new family will need to be prepared to make sure their vet is aware, and can give preventative medications before any new vaccines*

Hi! My name is Laverne. I am soft as a bunny but also as shy as one. I take quite awhile to warm up to new people but once I do, everyone says I am so funny. I will talk ever so softly to get your attention at which point I expect should rubs. yes shoulder rubs. I might stay awhile but then I will scamper away. My return will likely be food dependent. I really do need to have another cat friend as I tend to enjoy a confident feline companion. I didn't have the best start in life but I am ready for someone to pick me and show me what a good life in a real home could be like.

Hi! My name is Stacy! I arrived at the sanctuary with my eye poked out and huge claw marks on my back. Everyone has been so nice to me and has taken really good care of me. During my time here I also had to have a lot of my teeth removed which everyone seems to not mind since I sometimes enjoy munching on your fingers. I get along with other kitty friends great and dogs don't really scare me. I love being picked up and carried around once in awhile. Being loved is the best!

Hi! My name is Tigerlily. Everyone keeps telling me I am the "cutest little thing" whatever that means. If it get me pet it works for me! I was abandoned outside of a cafe to have my babies.

Okay, so my foster mom says I'm a little on the rotund side, but that just means there's more of me to adore, right? I started life as a stray, and my foster mom kindly welcomed me into her furry family. However, there's a small hitch in our household dynamics - the resident cats and I (all males) don't exactly see eye to eye. My foster mom tried her best to make it work, but it's become a tad too stressful for everyone, including me. I'm used to having the freedom to roam outside, so being kept indoors can be a bit tough for me. I love to watch the world outside the window and occasionally request outdoor adventures. If you have a catio or some safe way to let me enjoy the outdoors, that would make me one happy kitty! I have a bit of a defensive streak when it comes to most cats, probably because I've been a target in the past and had my share of injuries. So, I'd thrive best as your one and only furry best friend. However, if you have a dog who's cool with me, that could work too. I might be shy initially, but with time, I'll warm up and show you just how playful and affectionate I can be. While I'm not a fan of being held, I do enjoy curling up on laps and snuggling with you, especially at night. Oh, and I'm quite the food enthusiast, so mealtime is always a highlight of my day. One of the cutest things about me is how my head shakes in circles when I'm talked to or approached. It's super goofy and undeniably cute! In fact, here's a video of me for your enjoyment:   Good morning, Wilson!   My daily routine is pretty straightforward - breakfast, a preference for dry food, a few naps, play sessions, more naps, and of course, additional rounds of delightful meals. So, if you're looking for a loving, quirky, and somewhat round companion, I'm your guy. Let's make each other's lives more colorful and joyful. Reach out to make me a part of your family today!    Wilson is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

Calm and measured, Brave's contemplative nature is reflected in his soulful eyes. Once he gets to know his human companions, he becomes remarkably engaging and affectionate, occasionally expressing his joy with cute little trills. Chin scritches and lounging time are among Brave's favorite activities, though he engages in short play sessions initiated by his brother's playful antics. Sitting in the cat tower, observing the world outside the window, is one of his cherished pastimes. In utter irony to his name, bashful Brave will hide under the covers in his bedroom when there’s a new loud noise or situation! It’s so cute to observe, he usually doesn’t stay long, but  sometimes Chunky will join him. He finds comfort and companionship in his brother Chunky, and both are eagerly hoping to find a loving and cozy home to call their own. Currently being fostered in Minneapolis alongside Chunky, Brave is ready to bring warmth and affection to a household that appreciates the unique charm of this thoughtful and gentle cat. Consider opening your home to Brave, and you'll discover a loyal and loving companion ready to share a lifetime of cozy moments with you. Because Brave is part of a bonded pair, he needs to be adopted with his brother Chunky. Click here to learn more about him! Brave is from an owner surrender with his brother.

He absolutely loves the cat dancer toy, and wrestling with his brother! This intelligent cat has figured out how to open the treat drawer with his paw—a testament to his cleverness. He's very food motivated, and also as curious as can be!

He likes to meet new people and be social. He can be quite vocal, like when he is excited, or hungry, or when you touch his belly too much. He loves to communicate, sometimes even with just his eyes! I catch him staring at me almost every time I look at him. He is so funny, and he does something very often called “phantom spraying”! He will aim his bottom at something and do a little wiggle acting as if he is “spraying” or marking it, but nothing actually comes out. It is completely harmless and ADORABLE! He loves to look out a good window, though his eyesight is not the best, or find a cozy spot to take a snooze.   The quickest way to his heart is brushes, though!  He can just lay and be brushed all day! He also LOVES cat nip! *Poika needs insulin shots two times a day and prescription food.* Because of his illness, he can become moody and anxious/irritable. His ideal home would be quiet, and he should not be allowed around small children. He does get along well with most cats but can get overstimulated if there are cats fighting around him; so other mellow cats or other pets who are not high energy are just fine! A little history: Poika was surrendered to a shelter due to his then undiagnosed health issues. Once in the shelter, it was discovered that he is diabetic. We do not know how long that went untreated, but once treated, he has improved in great strides! Initially he could not walk or stand very well, his limbs were skinny and his belly was big. After only a few weeks, he started walking and jumping again! His body is much more proportionate, his eyes are clearer, and he seems so happy! We are uncovering his true personality through managing his health and well being, and it is a true gift! Poika is undergoing treatment for Diabetes.  Poika is from a local impound.

They will need to be adopted together. Click here to learn more about Shadow. Spirit is estimated to be around 1-2 years old. This polydactyl male is a true lover boy who adores affection. He's known for reaching out his paw, asking for more pets, and eagerly awaits meal times, especially when he's served wet food. Although he may greet you with a hiss initially, don't be fooled—his meows quickly follow, eager for cuddles and attention. Spirit is a good eater, well-mannered with the litter box, and an all-around delightful companion waiting to steal your heart! Despite his initial shyness, Spirit's heart is as big as his paws, and he's a sucker for affection. Pet him once, and he'll be jumping up for more, but beware - once you start, it's hard to stop.  He likes to playfully grab your hand with his huge, love-filled paws. Shadow has a flirty attitude and a "look but don't touch" personality. She'll grace you with a sniff and a vocal greeting, but her independent spirit demands respect. Energetic and playful, she's the life of the party, especially when Spirit is around. She's independent, yet reliant on Spirit and thrives in his company. Keep an eye on your pens, though - Shadow has a thing with stashing them away in her secret hideaway. Shadow and Spirit share a deep bond that transcends words. While they may be shy with new faces, their connection is evident in the way they support and comfort each other. Together, they navigate the world with confidence, knowing that as long as they have each other, they can conquer anything that comes their way.  If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

He's polydactyl so all those extra toes lend themselves to climbing and balance. He's smarter than your average toddler, and he loves affection and positive reinforcement. And he hugs! Yes, literally every morning he will wrap his arms around you and rub his face into you! He has a lot of energy and is very playful so he definitely needs enough space for big cat zoomies and someone who can give him a lot of stimulation. He will quickly make himself at home in any situation. He's very good with strangers and will come up and rub without hesitation. Floyd and my resident cat are existing well together. Although he definitely wants to play more and she wants to chill more … it's not the best match. I would imagine a cat that had a similar disposition would be an ideal partner. He loves getting his harness on and walking outside. He's seen neighbors’ dogs and has no fear and wants to check them out, but I haven't fully exposed him to a dog yet so I can't say for sure how he'd react. This is not a novice's cat. He's not a background kind of guy. He needs an experienced cat owner who understands all things cat and knows how to be compassionate and meet a cat on their own level. Could it be you?? Floyd is currently located in Minneapolis. Floyd is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
