Story
I took Juju in about 2 years ago when I moved to a studio in Southwest Minneapolis. She has made a wonderful roommate and loves to sit on my lap while I eat, jump on my shoulders while I'm brushing my teeth, and curl up by my legs while I'm enjoying an afternoon nap. A friend of my sister's had a cat that unexpectedly had many kittens, so they were looking to find homes for all of them. She was the only black cat, and she was so little, I knew she was the one. Although she has, of course, grown quite a bit, she is still a rather small cat. I think she may have been the runt of the litter. She makes up for it with her playful and loving energy, though. Her favorite toys are those small little crinkly balls, and she will play fetch with you until your arm gets tired. Unfortunately, I'm going to be moving and traveling more, so I can't keep her, but I am assured she will thrive and be happy in a new loving home (:

Story
Jasmin is 11 1/2 years old and has been the most calm, sweetest first pet for us. Sadly, we have someone in our house whose allergies are worsening to her. We adopted her early December 2024 from a shelter. Jazzy is a perfect match for someone who has no other pets, no cat allergies, and can give her all the love and attention in the world for her last few years. Jasmin is experienced and "trained" in that she doesn't have behavior issues such as breaking things, getting into stuff while you're gone, etc. She only meows when its close to meal time. She is simple and sleeps most of the day after breakfast and then wants cuddles in the evening. Something she needs are scratching posts. She really likes to scratch and will when you spend time with her (but not so much when you're out). She also loves when you put blankets on her while she's napping. She really enjoys having the house or apartment all to herself and her owners. She deserves a good home and new parent(s). Thanks!

Story
Meet Bud (age 6): Bud is affectionate, cuddly, and very vocal. He loves sitting on your lap for hours and “talks” to you throughout the day whenever he wants attention or pets. We’ve tried everything, but his people-focused nature doesn’t work with my child’s severe asthma and allergies. It breaks my heart, but Bud deserves a home where he can get the love and companionship he craves. Bud grew up with his brother (my sister and I shared a home), and he still misses that friendship. He’d thrive with another friendly cat or with someone who’s home often and wants a devoted buddy. He’s also lived with a large dog and adjusted well. If you’re looking for a quiet, solitary cat, Bud isn’t it. But if you want a loyal, talkative, and cuddly companion, Bud could be the perfect fit.

This is Harley and Emma. They are sisters from the same litter who have been together their whole lives! We have had them since they were kittens and love them SO MUCH. But unfortunately we cannot take them with us when we move. They are super cuddly and like to play. We are hoping they can go to a home together so they can stay together. They have never had any medical issues or anything.

Meet Sigyn, a sweet, affectionate cat needing a loving new home due to an emergency international relocation. Sigyn is healthy, active, and curious, bringing warmth and charm to everyone she meets. She enjoys snuggles, playful adventures, sunbathing in her hammock, and cozy naps in boxes. She’s fully vaccinated, has regular vet checkups and dental cleanings. Her owner adores her and will provide all her belongings (outdoor/travel/car carriers, cat house, two stainless litter boxes, litter box cabinet, toys, hammocks, water fountain, and automatic feeder) to ensure a smooth transition. Sigyn thrives with affection, interactive play, and companionship. She is gentle, friendly, and adapts easily to loving households. Sigyn is comfortable with new people, loves to explore her surroundings, and will happily become your loyal companion. If you’re ready to welcome a devoted feline friend who'll fill your life with joy, Sigyn is eager to meet you!

Story
Bathers, affectionately called just “B” is a short haired tuxedo cat. He is one of the most friendly and personable cats I’ve ever met. However, we just welcomed a new baby to our house and he has not adjusted to the increased chaos. We have tried everything we can think of, but he continues to not use his litter box. He is obviously very stressed and we think he deserves a more quiet household. Prior to the baby, this was never an issue, so we suspect that he will be fine once he is in a less active household.

Please meet Cole. This very friendly and loving fella loves to play. He is black with a white patch under his chin and 3 white toes on his back left foot. After a play session all he wants is some affection and to lay on your lap for a nap. He was born in March of 2024. He has been neutered & is up to date on his vaccinations. This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
