If she wants some attention, a gentle nose nudge is her first way of showing you, and if that doesn't work, a tiny paw lightly touching your arm is another polite way to ask for pets. She does not use her claws when she asks, and she's fine walking away if you have other things to do.  Baby likes pets, but she does not like to be brushed. As an older gal, her fur is a little bit rough looking, but it's also pretty short so it doesn't bother her.   Baby also likes to play with a bit of fabric dangling off the end of a stick.   Baby is from an owner surrender with her sister.

She is still cautious but asks for pets and plays with us humans now. She is such a cutie and is a tiny bit chatty.  She is quite funny and does little meows to get your attention. She is totally a night owl and spends her time investigating everything in the house. She tries to cuddle with my cats, so a playmate would be probably be very helpful for her.  She still doesn’t like to be picked up, but will let you pick her up for a couple seconds before she wants to get down. She does like to be petted and will expose her belly for rubs. She’s just unsure and needs some experience in the world.  She is such a cutie and worth the investment!   Poppet is a Stray Surrender from Nowthen, MN.

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.Click here to watch a video of Poppet.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 6, 2025, 9:18 am

If you're looking for the sweetest, most affectionate kitty, you’ve found her. I *love* sitting on laps, being near you, getting petted and scratched—especially behind my ears. I also have a favorite spot by the window, where I curl up on my cozy bed and watch the world go by. It’s one of my happiest places.   I spent my whole life with a lovely lady who took great care of me, but she couldn't look after me anymore. Now, I'm looking for a new home—could it be with you? I might need to meet other pets slowly, since I was always an only pet although my foster’s three cats and I are learning to get along pretty well.  But I promise I’ll be your sweetest, most loving companion!   I can’t wait to meet you and hopefully find my forever home! Gretchen is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.

I was originally an outdoor cat.  A nice lady noticed that I was pregnant and had babies outside in the winter. She decided to take me inside with my babies to safety. I'm a good mom and I would be happy to be adopted with one of my children, Birdie . If you adopt us both, you can adopt me at a discounted price of $25 through our Mom and Me program. My son Birdie and I are pretty close! I would do best in a quiet home where I can relax and let my personality come out. I'm used to living inside now and like that I have shelter and love. I do love to be pet and chin scratches are my favorite. I like to lay in the sun or on my cat tower. I also still cuddle with my kittens. I'm looking for a forever home; is that with you? I'd love to meet you!  Smores is from a stray surrender with 3 kittens. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
