Story
Bud is a sweet, affectionate cat who’s been my best friend. From the moment he wakes up, he meows his greetings, follows you around, and curls up close, purring contentedly at each pet. I’d hoped we’d stay together forever, but my child’s severe allergies and asthma make it impossible to give Bud the time and care he deserves. He used to live alongside his feline brother—who moved out with my sister—and still misses that companionship. Bud would be happiest in a home with another friendly cat or someone around often for play and cuddles. He also lived with a large dog in the past; he was initially cautious, but never aggressive—just needed a little time to adjust. It truly breaks my heart to rehome this loving, talkative companion, but he deserves more than I can provide right now. If you’re looking for a devoted cat who greets you with gentle nudges and plenty of meows, please consider welcoming Bud into your life. He’ll repay your love a thousand times over.

Story
Ella was adopted as a kitten when she was 8 weeks old from a Humane Society. She loves to play and is energetic and sassy. She will come and curl up on your lap when she is ready and does like to be petted especially under her chin. She is affectionate with me and lived peacefully with me and my other cat until recently. She seems to have developed anxiety toward the other cat in the household and my other cat is afraid of her. I need to find her a new home for the sake of the other cat. She does seem to have some general anxiety around unfamiliar situations and people so may take some time to settle into a new home but I think she would be a good cat once she feels comfortable. It may be advisable for her to be in a home as an only pet and probably one that is somewhat quiet. She has not been around dogs or children. I have taken very good care of her and feel sick about rehoming her but need to for the sake of my other cat.

Story
I’m currently in the military and with my busy schedule I’m unable to always be with my sweet little boy, I am looking to rehome him to a lovely forever home. Sirius is 1 year old and was born in New Orleans but is relocated with my father in Minneapolis. He is a friendly, energetic cat and once he has formed a bond with you he showcase his clingy side. It breaks my heart having to rehome but I know that will be better.

Story
Dynamo is a calm, cuddly, and vocal classic orange tabby. He is a healthy 14 year old who has been around kids a plenty. He likes some dogs, but not others (especially energetic puppies). He’s a sleepy guy who doesn’t have much interest in playing more than a few minutes, but loves to cuddle and have his ears scratched on demand. He’s always been indoors, but loves to sit on the balcony and smell the fresh air. After many years together, we are moving out of state and need to part with Dynamo. We would love to see him land in a loving home.

Story
Poe is honestly the most chill, even tempered cat. He likes his space and solitude like the majority of cats, but if you're snuggled up in a sherpa blanket, chances are he'll snuggle there with you. Playful when he needs to be, happy to zoom up and down your hallways at odd hours of the day. Overall, a pretty chill guy.

Story
Frankie is a rescue kitten from the humane society. His story is that he was saved from being flushed down the sewage system along with his kitten siblings. We’ve had him since he was a kitten, and he is now five or six years old. He’s a great cat, but he needs a home where he can be the only pet or live with just one other pet. We currently have three pets and a new baby, so poor Frankie doesn’t get enough attention.

Story
Hello my name is Nayla, I'm from Minnesota! From her foster: She’s very shy and timid but sweet. She’s shown mild interest in my other foster kitten but prefers to hide in the closet. She’s starting to relax and is getting more comfortable. She likes chin scratches. She needs an elevated place to hide to feel safe. Loud or rambunctious dogs are not recommended. A quiet home with gentle residents is required.

Story
Hazel is a 7 year old, female American Shorthair cat. She is very sweet and is a big cuddle bug, but may need some time to adjust and get familiar with her surroundings. Because she does have a pretty shy demeanor, she'll need to go to a home with minimal activity so she can adjust well. Hazel needs to go to a home with no other cats. We're unsure how she does with dogs and children.

Hello my name is Galaxy, I'm from Minnesota! From her foster: Galaxy is a 6-month-old bundle of sweetness with a gentle and loving temperament. She has a huge purr, and likes to sit on her foster mom's shoulder during work meetings. One of her favorite things to do is snuggle up to the two adult male cats in the home. Sometimes she can convince them to gallop around or wrestle with her--she's still a young, playful kitten after all! She also does well with the five year-old human in the house, and happily climbs on her lap and accepts pets. Galaxy will fit right into a home where she can play, explore, and snuggle with her favorite humans. She's sure to bring plenty of fun and energy to her new family!
