Story
My family was child free for the first 6 years of my life, but now have a toddler and young children make me a little nervous. I need to go to a home without kids under the age of six. I’ll be a loving companion, but it may take me a little longer to acclimate to new people and new environments. A quieter, low-activity home would allow me the opportunity to get used to new things at my own pace. Affectionate cats like me enjoy close interactions and snuggling. I might be a little shy or bashful as I adapt to a new environment.

Story
Father Time was found on a cold balcony in October he and his sister were abused and left to die. I found the cat and took him in to show him love. He loves kisses and being petted. He gives love bites and will follow you around. I feel his needs will be better suited with a loving family and possibly other cats.

Story
Sugar is a sweetheart. She loves trying to catch flies and will have you laughing. She maybe a little shy at first but if you lay on the floor and call her to you, she'll loosen up quickly. She likes the wet treats "Delectable Stews" like the chicken and shrimp and other chicken flavors. She also likes the Temptations brand 'crunchy' treats like, dairy, chicken, and catnip flavors. I like the way she screams at me when she wants her wet chicken treats. I do love her but I cannot have her. Her brother has to go too. He's ginger.

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
Max is a 12 year old orange tabby with a heart of gold, seeking a new loving home. Max is very friendly and loves to cuddle. He does well with kids and other cats but feels a little anxious around dogs. This is ultimately why max needs to be rehomed. He is very patient with children and never bites or scratches. He would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a low maintenance, affectionate and cuddly cat. Max has some really unique qualities, he will come happily when you call him and kneads his paws like a kitten when happy and cuddling. Max likes his litter box kept very clean, he enjoys going outside and is highly motivated by food and treats. Max has had urinary tract issues in the past (swelling of the urethra) and so he is on a prescription cat food to manage this. He hasn’t had an issue since he was a kitten. Our family is so so to make this decision for our boy but we are hoping he can find a less stressful environment to spend his last years.

Story
Rhombus is one of two cats I found on the street a couple of months ago. The one, Betty Boop has adjusted well to my male cat Floyd. If he gets aggressive, she whacks him one and that is that. But Rhombus is extremely timid and is constantly being harrassed by Floyd. Even Betty bugs her sometimes. Rhombus loves being rubbed and brushed but she won't be picked up or held. She just runs away and hides. I think she needs a very patient parent(s) in a home with no other animals. She is so sweet and I think would warm the hearts of any new owners.

Rocky is a very friendly, very playful 10 month old. He loves to cuddle and puts like crazy. He loves to wrestle and does sometimes chase us around to do so, which is both funny and entertaining. He would love a home with older kids who are ok with his wrestling.

Story
Angel is 2 years old. We got him when he was just a kitten. He enjoys to play but he also likes to be lazy. Angel also loves to cuddle up to you. Every night he likes to go and sleep with my husband and just lay near his feet. He likes attention too, and he's just a chunky lover boy (he's 16 lbs). I'd like him to go to a home where he can get attention, and lots of treats. We would love to keep him but my daughter is allergic to cats, and she has moved back into our home with her two small children after getting out of a situation from her now exhusband. She's tried to take allergy medication but it just doesn't work. And unfortunately we have to find him a new home.

Story
We adopted Mac through PetSmart store adoption in 2018 at about 5 months old. We had a an adult golden doodle at the time and they became friends. They would end up keeping each other company while we were at work and often shared a bed. Unfortunately our dog passed away early this year which has had an effect on Mac. Due to things like going back to school, new job and kids and new baby, we dont have and will not have enough time to spend enough quality time with her. This is very much an issue especially given she very much so needs lots of attention and is so accustom to consistent companionship. Ideally, we want her going to a home where she gets the attention she deserves so she doesnt feel so lonely. She also likes to roam so it is important for here to have access to more than just a room or two of the house. She is very friendly and gentle. Never had issues with bitting, urinating or deficating, hairballs, and she loves being around chill dogs and kids.

Beans is from a humane society so we are unsure of how old he really is. He is a cuddly, sweet cat who loves other animals and laying in the sun! He is very good motivated and will get into any food that’s laying around, so it’s important to make sure he doesn’t get into anything that he shouldn’t eat! He’s such an amazing cat, I simply want a home that can love him unconditionally.❤️

These pups are in Minneapolis, Minnesota too!

Story
We adopted Buggs two weeks ago from the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, MN. We have another 7yr old female cat at home. Buggs has adjusted pretty quickly to our home. We kept him separate for the first few days, and did some scent swapping and feeding near each other on opposite sides of the door. Buggs quickly became curious and we started letting him explore the house. He's cuddly with us in the evenings and very affectionate. Loves to be pet, though not on our laps yet. Loves to play. The problem is with our other cat Penny. She has become increasingly territorial and aggressive towards Buggs. It started because he would try to play with her and she would run away, then he would chase and a skirmish would ensue. We have started to re-introduce them but we're very concerned that Penny is just not meant to have another cat friend.
