Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending! Beatnik is a quiet, thoughtful soul — the kind of cat who prefers to observe life from the shadows before deciding whether humans are worthy of his presence. If you’re looking for a cat who will leap into your lap on day one… Beatnik gently suggests you browse the dogs instead. But if you appreciate the slow burn of a cat who chooses you on his timeline, this mysterious little poet might be your perfect match. He’s timid at first and will absolutely hide while he figures out his new world. He doesn’t hiss, swat, or show aggression — he simply prefers to disappear until he feels safe. But once he settles in, he blossoms quietly. He bonds beautifully with other cats, nuzzles them at night, and plays with toys when the house is still. He enjoys soft food, nighttime toy adventures, and the freedom to explore at his own pace. Beatnik is litterbox trained, gentle, intelligent, and wonderfully low‑maintenance. He’s not a fan of chaos, loud commotion, or pushy dogs, but he does well with calm cats, respectful kids, and patient adults. He’s the definition of an independent, aloof companion who will one day surprise you with a head bump or a slow blink that feels like winning the lottery. Beatnik won’t be the cat who loves you instantly — but he will be the cat who loves you deeply once he decides you’re his person. For the right adopter, earning his trust will be one of the most rewarding relationships you’ll ever have. Please note that this is a strictly indoor cat. This kitten may may require a home with another kitten as kittens are family oriented and do best when adopted in littermate pairs. Please fill out a Feline application here: https://underdogrescuemn.com/adoption-applications/feline-adoption-application/ Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
