Story

Hello, my name is Fern. I was brought to SFAAR when I was only a few weeks old. When I was 3 month old I went to the vet to be spayed. While I was at the vet, I was diagnosed with a grade 5 heart murmur and heart failure. Because of that, I may not have a full life span. Despite all that, I love to play with other cats and I adore people. I enjoy my food and eat like a normal kitty. While my time here may be short, I just celebrated two years in rescue. My heart condition is being controlled with heart medication, but because I am doing so awesome in my foster home, I am not curretly on any medication. Even though we don't know how much longer I will be around, I am enjoying every second I have and am living life to the fullest.Sometimes I get a urniary tract infection or ear infection, but those are treated very easily with antibiotics.SFAAR will adopt Fern into a home that understands his life expectancy is unknown and who has experience with a cat with a heart issue. They would also need to continue her medication and help keep her quality of life comfortable.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2025, 5:30 pm

Story

I’m Boy George, with a sweet, laid-back vibe and a dash of playful energy. I was found as a stray, and while no one came forward to claim me, I haven’t let that dampen my spirit. I can be a little shy at first, but once I feel at ease, I’ll happily lean in for some pets and companionship. I get along well with other cats but would be just as content as your one-and-only. With my mature, dignified charm—and just enough spunk to keep life interesting—I’m the perfect mix of mellow and fun. All I’m missing now is a cozy spot and a loving forever home. Maybe that’s with you?Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 20, 2025, 2:59 pm

Hello, My name is Mika. I came from a farm at a few days old with my 2 mom's and 7 siblings. Now that we are old enough we are ready to be adopted & into our new family. We are typical kittens that are playful. We do best with a kitty friend to learn from. We can be a bit shy at first in a busier environment but warm up quickly. We can't wait for a chance to be adopted into our very own forever home. It's all we have been dreaming about.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 9:18 pm

Story

Hello, my name is Chateau. I was born in a foster home after my mama, Pippi, was rescued from being a stray. She is a great mama.I'm a pretty little black and white cat with a little white stripe running down my nose. Just like my brothers and sister, I am very playful and a bundle of energy. I love hiding in boxes, chasing little balls and wrestling with my brothers and sister.I'm also curious and like to explore. I try to get in every open door or cupboard I can. I'm just curious and want to see what's in there. You never know, there might be something I can play with. That reminds me, running up and down my cat tree is fun too. I am a bit more quite than my brothers and sister. But don't get me wrong, I love my family and love to be near them. My foster mom holds me like a little baby. I am a nicely trained little girl and always use my litter box. I'm still learning not to jump up on the table. I really want to see what everyone is eating. I'm starting to understand that when foster mom says 'NO' I'm supposed to get down. I'm getting better at it!Although my siblings and I wrestle a lot, I like to curl up and sleep with them too. They are my best buddies. I would love to go to a home where someone would play with me. I like to chash those toys on long strings that my foster mom pulls around. That is lots of fun. I was recently diagnosed with Inflamatory Bowel Disease, which is unusual for a kitten. Because of that, I will need to be on prescription food for the rest of my life. Don't let that worry you though, I am doing wonderfully on my new food and enjoying life to the fullest. I'm a sweet, friendly kitten that loves to be with my family. Maybe you could be my new family! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2025, 8:49 pm

Malcolm & Marnie

Female, 4 yrs 6 mos

White Bear Lake, MN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

MALCOLM and MARNIE are approx. 4 years old. They are both cute brown and white tabbies. They enjoy the routine in their foster home and their individual personalities have blossomed. They love being together and Marnie feels braver with Malcolm nearby. Malcolm has short hair and loves playing with his two rope toys in particular, pushing them under a door and then trying to scoop them back inside. When called, he stops whatever he’s doing to enthusiastically run over for affection. Malcolm is so excited to get neck rubs and back scratches that he happily purrs and bonks his head into anything and everything nearby - furniture, his foster’s legs, his food dish, or whatever else happens to be close! He gives gentle love bites to his foster’s ankles and toes to ask for attention. He will sit on his foster's lap when she is relaxing. Marnie has lovely thick, medium hair and had become more at ease. She is very curious and likes to check out what her people are doing and wants to be in the same room as they are. She loves treats and eats out of her foster’s hand and has learned that being petting is great - just don't move too fast or she will run. Marnie enjoys playing with any kind of interactive feather toy on a string. When she is feeling especially shy, she tucks herself underneath her kitty bed and moves around the room with it on top of her. She loves sitting at the top of her cat tree by the window and watching the activity in the yard. If you are a special person who has a lot of patience and who can give Malcolm and Marnie a quiet home and consistent routine, they will give you so much in return (they do well when they know what to expect). They would do best in a home without other animals or children and in a home where their people don't plan on moving. Malcolm and Marnie are neutered/spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Their adoption fee is $320 for the adorable pair. Call 651-771-5662 if you are the special person for these two sweet cats.

Story

RILEY is a stunning girl who is approx. 3 years old. She is a beautiful brown and black tiger with emerald green eyes and is very sweet and gentle. Riley is happy to be safely indoors; it took her some time to feel brave and trust her fosters but she has blossomed into a wonderful cat. She loves to play with her toys – the ball in the ring that goes around, mice, balls, anything! She will happily come to you if you have a treat for her. When she hears the treat bag, she immediately stretches, then rubs against you or comes to you to get her treats. She sleeps on the bed at night but isn’t a big cuddler yet (that may come with time). Riley loves the other cats in the foster home and will take naps with one of them and hang out in the sunshine with them. She likes to be petted and purrs happily, and she loves to be brushed; although she gets scared if a hand surprises her in her face – she likes slow movements and gentle voices (she hasn't been around men). Riley is a sweet and beautiful cat who wants to be loved. She needs a quiet home without dogs or children and a patient, kind adopter who will help her slowly adjust to her new home - just as she has nicely adjusted to her foster home. She would also like a friendly cat or two in her forever home (she is in the same foster home as George so they could be adopted together). A home rather than an apartment is preferred so she doesn't have to move and move. Riley is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $175. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about sweet, gentle Riley.

Story

LEALAH is a beautiful 2 year old short-medium hair, white and black girl with adorable markings. She takes a little while to warm up and feel brave in her safe room but once she adjusts, she is a sweet and fun girl. Lealah plays with enthusiasm and really likes playing with interactive toys with her foster mom and dad. Lealah carries her toys around with her and she is learning to play fetch. She is a good conversationalist and will talk to you about her day. She really enjoys being petted. She loves to show her silly side, chasing around her favorite little fabric ball and rolling around. She is very smart and has mastered the treats puzzle! She loves companionship and is very inquisitive, wanting to be a part of any activity that is happening in the home. Once Lealah is tuckered out from playing, she likes to sit or lay by her foster and loves head scratches and you can hear her loud purrr. She really loves using (and laying on) the cardboard scratchers on the floor. Lealah enjoys naps in the empty spaces of her foster's built-in bookshelves. She also enjoys sitting and napping by the window and soaking up the sunshine and watching the activity. Lealah was previously in a home with cats but we don’t know if she liked that situation or not. She has not been around cats in her foster home. She has never been around dogs so a home without dogs is required. Since Lealah is shy at first, a home without children is her preference. Her adopter should be a patient person who will help Lealah adjust to her new home, and then she will become your best friend. Lealah is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about beautiful Lealah.

Story

RUDY is a very sweet young cat who is 9 months old. He is an orange tiger with deep gold eyes and lovely markings. Rudy is a social boy who runs and plays with everything. When he wants attention, he will jump up on you to remind you he is there. He loves to play with anything that wiggles. Rudy especially likes head scratches and he will rub up against your legs to ask for them, and he purrs happily when being petted. Rudy usually naps midday and is often seen with a big smile on his face when he naps. When the fosters get home after work he is ready to play and loves to chase after the laser pointer. Rudy uses the carpeted scratching tree and the cardboard floor scratcher, and loves watching the birds and squirrels out the windows. He gets along well with other cats and needs another young cat friend in his forever home. He has not been around dogs in the program. Rudy enjoys hanging out with the foster's grandchildren when they visit so older kids would be fine (10+ years). Remember, cats can live 18+ years so be sure you can give them their forever home. Rudy is neutered, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about friendly, adorable Rudy.

AMBER is a beautiful torti with deep orange and black markings and gorgeous gold eyes. She is approx. 9-10 months old and a petite girl. Amber is the sweetest cat who wants a human best friend (no other animals in her life, please). She sleeps on the foster’s bed at night and is such an easy cat to have around. She loves to play with anything that wiggles and uses the cardboard scratching pad and carpeted post. Amber kneads a soft pillow or blanket and purrs happily when she is relaxing. If she isn’t getting enough attention from you, she will tap you or put her feet on your back to let you know she is there and ready for more pets and play time. Amber is very affectionate and purrs up a storm when she is getting love and petting. If you are reading or watching tv near her, she will plop down right next to you for cuddles. She was fine around the foster’s granddaughter once she realized she was going to play with her. As noted above, Amber needs to be the only animal in her home. Remember cats can live 18+ years so be sure you can give her a forever home. Amber is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200. Call 651-771-5662 to inquire about this sweet and beautiful girl.

Story

I rescued Louie from a animal shelter in Forest Lake Minnesota. I saw him listed at PetSmart. At the time he was 8 weeks old. He had been abandoned At two weeks of age by someone, who just dropped him off in a box at the shelter. He was very sweet, loving, he would look at himself in the mirror and cuddle up meowing thinking it was another cat. He would snuggle me cuddling up to my neck wanting to suck on the skin of my neck. He was used to being hand fed by humans and wanted to be close to me all the time. As time went on he continued this behavior. He continues to be very loving. He continues to want to be close to me. He sleeps with me and Maddie my dog. They get along very well. Louie likes to sleep up by my face or my head or sleeps behind me on the couch. He rarely claws furniture. He does like to climb and to hide. He's afraid of someone that comes into the house that he does not know and he will hide for a little bit but soon we'll come out to investigate.
