Scottish Fold kittens & cats in Princeton, Minnesota

This beautiful boy, came by our house one day , back in October, and we would see him roaming around. It’s our belief, that he was/is an indoor cat, because he knows all the indoor cat behaviors, he uses the litter box, and he eats, and drinks from food dishes, he also knows the shaking of the treat jar noise, he knows what they mean. He’s friendly , and lets us pet him , but I believe he was either left behind , when his owners moved, or just got lost , and no-one has come to claim him. If you want a great younger male cat , and are willing to show him love , and patience, to build trust with him He will love you forever!! He has been around other cats before, not sure about dogs.

He has come so far and allows us to get close. He is starting to realize he is now safe and that there is always food and water so he no longer eats too much, too fast.   We have been able to pick him up and hold him for a little bit before he gets too scared. He is accepting head and chin scratchies and has showed us his motor! He is becoming more playful and no longer hides in the cat cave! With time, this little guy will make a great pet! And he has the cutest little face and showed us hit little meow now!  He’s come a long way in the short time we’ve had him!   Butternut is from stray surrender.

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.January 15, 2026, 11:44 am

Meet Jude: The Shyest Little Legend  Jude is a beautiful little guy who is bravely working up the courage to exist in the same universe as… people. He has made huge progress over the past month, even if he’d prefer we not make a big deal about it. Confidence is coming—slowly, quietly, and only when no one is watching. Jude’s idea of a good time is cuddling in a safe, quiet place, preferably surrounded by his litter mates and cousins, who serve as his emotional support committee. While he occasionally ventures between rooms like a tiny explorer, he generally believes being under furniture is the superior lifestyle choice. Recently, he has leveled up to hanging out in the hallway with the big orange tabby—clearly a major milestone. He is not a people-cuddler yet, but he is a professional cat cuddler and loves snuggling with his little pack. Toys? Unknown. Possibly mythical. Jude has not confirmed their existence. Food, however, is very real—especially wet food. He will purr the moment he hears it being prepared and will absolutely give you the look that says, “Please feed me, mom. I am wasting away.” (He is not.) Jude is very shy and may take extra time to decide that small kids are trustworthy humans. He would likely do best with another confident cat to help show him the ropes and continue building his bravery. Quiet, gentle, and slowly blossoming, Jude is a soft soul who just needs patience, a calm home, and someone who appreciates a glow-up that happens on cat time.  Jude is from an owner surrender with 7 siblings.
