Story
Grayson is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian.We’ve had Grayson since he was a kitten. He lives mostly outside with his brother from the same litter, although he would really prefer to be inside more than we’re able to provide. He’s very social and affectionate, and absolutely loves to cuddle. We also have a dog that he’s very comfortable around. Ideally he’ll go to a home that wants an indoor lap cat.Grayson’s brother Buddy is also available for adoption in a separate listing. They mostly ignore one another, so it’s probably ok to separate them. If you are interested in Grayson, please email mikerecord01@gmail.com. ***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***

Story
Salem is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Salem (Puffy, Pufferkins, Pufferoni) is a cat with dog mentality. She doesn't cuddle, but stays close, blesses you when you sneeze, talks to you when she wants to, will fetch her toys if you throw them, and loves the BBQ blend of her cat treats. She is best a lone animal in the house, but does well with humans and children. You can force a cuddle with her for as long as you want, and she will never run away when you're done. She's a great cat, who has just decided that she doesn't want to live with our other animals any longer. If you are interested in Salem, please call: 218-404-2942(please leave a message!) ***Please ignore the Apply to Adopt button for this pet & contact the owner directly***
