CLEAR THE SHELTER ADOPTION SPECIAL!
The animals are ready. The kennels are full. Now all that's missing is you!
Friday thru Sunday (9/6), Northwoods is offering 50% OFF adoption fees for all available animals as part of our Clear the Shelter Adoption Event! (Pictured here are just a few of the animals we currently have available.)
Whether you're looking for a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or a loyal companion, now is the perfect time to find your new best friend and give a deserving pet the loving home they deserve.

Meet 2 1/2 month old Sissy (currently in foster):

Sissy is a very sweet, and petite orange girl with hair as soft as a bunny, and a purr that can be heard across the room.
Sissy is shy but is gradually coming out of her shell, while still being startled by loud noises and fast movements. She likes to play with small toys, but very quietly, and sometimes in the safety of her covered bed. She doesn't love being picked up but she is gradually getting used to it. She would rather get her ears and neck scratched while she is comfy in her bed.
Sissy loves to have a roof over her head or a cave-like situation for her bed. She will need to be in a room in your house for long enough to feel comfortable in there before allowing her to venture into the rest of the house, because if she were to get scared, she might hide somewhere.

Foster Update: Sissy has made some good progress in the past week. She has been playing a lot more and wants me to throw each of her toys to her so she can catch them or chase them and come back for another. She reminds me of a dog catching a ball :)
She is not spending as much time under the bed anymore and I will often find her just hanging out on top of the bed outside of her covered area.
She is especially lovey in the morning. She loves her head, neck and ears rubbed and also petting her whole body. That gets her loud purring started. Then after a little bit, she will nibble on my finger to remind me that it is actually her breakfast time. I can pick her up and hold her for a little bit. She doesn't love it but, she will tolerate it for a short time.

Good with dogs: possibly with a slow introduction
Good with cats: yes
Good with children: possibly with a slow introduction but very small children would likely be too much for her

UPDATE: Adopted!

Meet 3 year old Humphrey (currently in foster):

Humphrey was pulled from Mpls Animal Care because he was having diarrhea issues and badly needed a dental which they were not equipped to do. He went directly into a foster home while he recovered from his surgery and is going to stay there while waiting to get adopted. Humphrey should stay on special GI food and Forti Flora to slowly transition to what he's going to eat in his new home because his system seems to be more sensitive about changes.

Notes from my foster mom: As fosters, we have to write about the cat's personality. We always have a cat that will break our hearts. Humphrey is that cat. He came to me a bit sick, he had a bit of pain in his mouth, so he went through a long process. He deserves a family that will give him the love that he deserves because he is the sweetest cat that someone can meet. This is the cat that will make a dog person become a cat person. He is the cat that will change anyone's mind about cats. He likes everyone; he wants to become friends with anyone, including other cats. He will benefit from a cat friend, but he will also be great if he is the only cat as long as he gets his daily pets. Adding to all of this, he has a very loud meow! Also, he knows how to sit. He has great manners. Sometimes during feeding time, I don't even have to let him know to sit; he just does it. Have kids? A baby or a toddler? He is great with kids as well. The sweetest guy. Also, he has the greatest purrs. My hope for him is to find his forever home.

Good with dogs: Unknown but possibly with a proper introduction
Good with cats: Likely, he keeps trying to make friends with the cat in his foster home.
Good with children: yes, did great with the child in his foster
