Ella is a remarkably special soul with a gentle, loving heart just waiting for the right person to open theirs. Clad in her classic, elegant tuxedo coat, she is the perfect balance of quiet charm and deep, heartfelt affection. When Ella first enters a new environment or meets someone new, she likes to take a little time to observe and settle in. She can be hesitant at first, but with just a small amount of patience and a calm presence, her sweet personality completely shines through. Once she knows she is safe, she warms up quickly and becomes a devoted companion who truly adores human touch, purring softly and soaking up gentle affection.

Ella would make a wonderful addition to a variety of quiet, loving households. She has a sweet, patient nature and truly loves children who know how to interact with her gently and respectfully. While Ella would be thrilled to be your one-and-only queen of the castle—enjoying all of your love and attention to herself—she is also happy to coexist peacefully as a respectful roommate alongside another calm cat or a gentle, cat-friendly dog who will give her space and respect her boundaries.

There is a unique kind of magic in opening your heart and home to a senior cat like Ella. At 10.5 years young, she has already outgrown the chaotic kitten phase—she knows who she is, has wonderful manners, and simply wants a cozy spot next to you and a gentle hand to pet her. Senior cats have so much devotion to share, and Ella still has many wonderful years left to be an cherished part of your life.

📣ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT!📣
🐾 WE 24-CARROT LOVE THIS: CARROT IS ADOPTED! 🐾

Another fabulous member of our Salad Bar Squad has officially rooted himself in a wonderful forever home! When his new mom visited the shelter open to welcoming a new feline friend into her life, she took her time getting to know several wonderful residents. But when she stepped into the kitten room, Carrot turned on his irresistible charm. He immediately won her over—showing off his gentle playtime skills, his sweet personality, and his absolute mastery of Chapter 1 in the Adoption Rulebook: "Sit in Laps." Hopping right onto her lap, Carrot completely sealed the deal! He was so relaxed and easygoing that he even handed over his paws for a pre-departure manicure without missing a beat. Carrot is now happily settled in his new home in St. Paul, where he’ll be showered with all the love, cuddles, and lap time a kitten could ever dream of. Congratulations to Carrot and his wonderful new mom on this golden match! 🏠💖✨

Meet Oliver and Lily, a beautiful 1-year-old sibling duo who offer the best of both worlds! This wonderful pair is ready to bring their special bond to a patient forever family. Oliver is a handsome, high-energy boy who loves to be right in the middle of the action. He is a professional lap-warmer, though his enthusiasm means he can sometimes get over-excited. Because he can occasionally give a "love nibble" when overstimulated, his adopters should be familiar with reading cat body language. You might also notice a unique, charming dark speck in his right eye!

While Oliver is the social butterfly, petite Lily is his quiet shadow. Both spent their early months as strays, but Lily is slower to trust and lacks her brother's confidence. She relies heavily on brave Oliver for comfort, but she has been making steady progress! Because building a bond with her is gradual, potential adopters should plan to visit them a couple of times at the shelter to start earning her trust. Patience is the key to Lily's heart, but the reward is worth it—once they know you, both happily enjoy gentle pets.

Just keep in mind that these two youngsters still have plenty of adolescent fun in them—their future family should be prepared for some epic kitty zoomies in the middle of the night! To help this duo thrive, they need a calm, predictable environment. A busy or loud household would be overwhelming for Lily, but a peaceful sanctuary is exactly what she needs. For this reason, children in the home should be at least 12 years old and know how to respect boundaries. They would also likely do well with a gentle, cat-friendly dog or a playful resident cat. Oliver and Lily are ready to find their people!

📣ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT!📣
🐾 FROM LAP-SNUGGLES TO FOREVER FAMILY: CABBAGE IS HEADED HOME! 🐾

Adorable Cabbage, another beloved member of the Salad Bar Squad, has officially landed her dream forever home! Her new adopters were strolling past the shelter when Cabbage popped right up to the window to play with them. Captivated by her adorable window greeting, they scheduled an appointment on the spot to meet her in person and Miss Cabbage certainly did not disappoint! She started off showing off her best ball-chasing moves before settling in for pure snuggle mode, hopping first onto her new mom’s lap and then migrating over to her new dad’s lap. Naturally, that affectionate charm sealed the deal! Cabbage is now off to her new home where she’ll be showered with endless love, and all the play and lap time she desires! Congratulations to Cabbage and her wonderful new family on this fantastic match made in heaven! 🏠💖✨

ADOPTION UPDATE!
NAZ REID (NOW ESTHER) LOVES PLAYING AT HOME!🏠😻

We received a great update on a little girl who was named Naz Reid at the shelter (part of a litter named after Timberwolves players). The family was looking for a friendly kitten who would befriend their children, their dog and their resident cat and they got everything and more when they adopted Naz, who is now called Esther. This cute girl integrated quickly into her new wonderful family and is now best friends with their resident cat, Nora, as you can see from the pictures. Esther is playful and sweet, and she stole the hearts of her humans and even the dog appreciates her cuteness! We are thrilled for everyone as they look forward to many years of fun and cuddles! 🐾🩷
