Story
Hello! My name is Oscar and I LOVE to play and talk about my day. My favorite activities are chasing my ribbon wand and that red dot! But you have to make it land on my favorite kicker or I'm not gonna like it. I LOVE to walk around human legs, give head nudges and thank you for meals! I can be a bit of a chatty kitty, especially if you stop playing with me before I'm done. I was found wandering the streets in a northern suburb of the Twin Cities and brought in for TNR and a vet visit. They think I was hit by a car. But after a little R&R I showed a lot of interest in my new, indoor surroundings and immediately started meowing at my foster family. I promise if you play with me lots, I will be all yours in no time! I am an easygoing dude and would LOVE to live with other cats (even a well-behaved, mellow dog). I'm not too much into kiddos because they touch my butt and tummy sometimes, and I can get overstimulated. I'm also a huge fan of food, so you're gonna have to watch that. Having discovered the sweet indoor life, I'm no longer up for adventuring. A sunny window or well-secured catio/screened-in porch is ok, but leash training or outdoor wandering are NOT for me! I just can't wait to find my forever family. Is it you??? Oscar has been neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV/HW (negative), vaccinated, internal parasite tested (negative), and microchipped. His adoption fee is $225+ tax. NOTE: In the interest of serving as many cats as possible, Bitty Kitty Brigade may promote a cat being taken care of by our friends and supporters. The cat in this posting is NOT a Bitty Kitty Brigade cat and any adoption that may occur is an arrangement strictly between two independent parties.

Story
I want to start by saying I truly love my cat and I feel absolutely horrible about having to do this. I got my cat in May of 2022 he was about 8 weeks old. He was a wonderful kitten and cat until I broke up with my boyfriend and moved out. Once it was just him and I, he ended up attacking me all the time. Every time he attacks me it is unwarranted and other times he is super sweet but I can’t continue to be attacked by my cat. He does not attack anyone except for me and he is unbelievably sweet to everyone besides me. One other thing I should mention is that he is VERY food motivated and always thinks he is starving. I have asked everyone in my life if they would want to have him and unfortunately no one is able to. I would love to find him a wonderful home.

Story
Lily is a sweet girl who loves cuddles and just spending time with people. She can be a little timid at first, but after a short while she isn't afraid to show her true personality. She is playful and can get chatty when she wants attention. She is never too loud, though! I adopted Lily in October 2023 hoping she would be able to keep my other cat company while I was away at work. Unfortunately, after several months of trying to improve their relationship, Lily and my other cat still can not be in the same room together without violently attacking. I have realized that Lily deserves a home that can give her the attention she craves without needing to worry about her proximity to another cat. The vet estimates her age between 2 and 5 years. She has some tartar buildup on her teeth, but I was told it is not severe enough for any necessary dental work.

Story
Flynn came to us from someone who was moving away. Flynn was found by his first owner as a kitten in a park and grew up with children. Flynn is mellow but likes to play as well. He likes to cuddle with people. He enjoys being brushed and likes to follow his favorite person around. Flynn can come with any of the following items that are wanted: cat condo, three litter bins and rug, food and water bowls, cat toys and brushes, scratching post, cat carrier and food. (Fudge Sundae seems like a more suitable name for him because of his chocolate and caramel tuxedo and his vanilla waistcoat.) 😺

Story
Leo is the sweetest old man once you've gain his trust. He does a lot better in a petless home which is why I need to rehome him and why he was initially rehomed to me. I'm also disabled and can no longer afford to take care of him. His previous owners neglected him to where he was 32 lbs at 8 years old. This sweet old boy is now 13 years old and 17 lbs. Because of that prior neglect he has bad arthritis and his teeth have suffered. His previous owners declawed his front paws as a kitten. I love this sweet boy so much and would love nothing more than to keep him but that's not in his best interest. I'm rehomeing him because I love him so much he deserves better than I can provide him. Please help him and love him the rest of his days.
