1. Tortellini O'Neil
Meet Tortellini O’Neil!
Small kitty, BIG personality! Tortellini O’Neil is a beautiful tortoiseshell girl with a little ninja spice and a whole lot of love to give. Rescued from a sewer and spending time at a local impound, this brave little girl earned her name as a nod to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their fearless reporter friend, April O’Neil. Now, she’s ready to leave her underground adventures behind and find a forever home where she can live the life of luxury she deserves!
Read more about Tortellini O'Neil
Tortellini has a touch of classic tortie-tude and may be a little spicy when you first try to pick her up. But don’t let that fool you! Once she’s settled into your arms, her ninja attitude melts away, and she transforms into a purring machine.
Think you can catch this little ninja? Think again! Tortellini has SUPER SPEED, especially when she realizes you’re coming to pick her up. She’ll turn it into a game of keep-away, darting off just when you think you’ve got her cornered. Of course, the rules of the game are entirely up to her, and when she finally decides she’s ready to be picked up, she’ll let you know! This girl likes to be in charge of her own adventures, so a little patience and a good sense of humor will go a long way.
On the practical side, Tortellini is a pro at using her litter box and has excellent bathroom manners. She has also met cats and dogs and can coexist happily with other furry friends. She’ll just need slow, thoughtful introductions and time to feel safe and comfortable with her new companions.
As a kitten born around May 2026, Tortellini is ready to start her next big adventure. She’s got the speed of a ninja, the purr of a sweetheart, and enough tortitude to keep life entertaining. Could your home be the perfect hideout for this sweet, speedy little girl? Adopt Tortellini O’Neil and give her the happy ending she deserves!

2. Oliver
Oliver is a very sweet kitty, that is about 3 years old and weighs about 10 lbs. He was taken in during the cold winter, when he was trapped in a porch he came into to for feeding. Originally vetted as a TNR cat, those plans changed when there was an instinct that he could become a pet cat.
Oliver was very patient over the winter and he slowly grew to trust and crave attention, petting, and interaction.
Oliver has become a super lovey dovey, affectionate cat that craves attention and just loves to be looked after.
Read more about Oliver
Oliver seems fine with dogs and will even try to rub on them if they are friendly and not too dominant. If they are dominant he may bat them away from him to give him his space.
We are looking for a foster home (or adoptive home)for Oliver.
He is so sweet and affectionate and just loves to be loved.
Oliver is FIV positive so it will be important that his next home is either as an only cat, or with another FIV positive companion.
We are looking for a foster home and/or an adoptive home. He has not lived with other cats, (he could be introduced as a process) but may thrive with another cat, he seems to seek out the activity of people and animals. Oliver likes dogs.

3. Massey Ferguson
Miss Allis was surrendered from a local farm with her babies.
Meet Massey Ferguson (aka "Fergie" - Momma)
My name is Massey Ferguson, but my friends call me Fergie! I’m a bit older than the rest of the crew, which just means I'm a lady who is set in her ways. I spent my earlier days as a tough barn cat, and while I am incredibly happy to be safe and warm in a house, I still prefer it if humans leave me to my own devices. I am a gentle soul and have never shown a single ounce of aggression—I just get a little nervous and prefer to hide when people come too close. I find an immense amount of comfort and confidence when I'm with my fellow tractor momma, Allis, and I would love a quiet home where I can just coexist and learn to trust on my own timeline.
Read more about Massey Ferguson
Personality: Independent, quiet, and very set in her ways.
Social style: Prefers her space from humans but is completely devoted to her feline friends.
Dream home: A calm, understanding environment with her best friend Allis, and a family who doesn't mind letting a sweet cat just be a cat.

I’m a former barn cat who is still a bit unsure about humans, but if you give me a chance and pet me just a little, I completely melt. I’ll roll right over onto my back and let you scratch my neck all day! I'm also very playful, quite chatty, and have a lot of love to give. My ultimate dream is to find a forever home where I can stay together with my fellow tractor momma and best friend, Massey Ferguson!
Look: Sleek black coat with beautiful "secret" brown stripes and spots visible in the light.
Personality: A little shy at first, but secretly a playful, chatty mush who loves neck scratches.

When I first left the barn, I took my time sizing things up, but I’ve officially decided that humans can be trusted (well, most of the time!).

Diesel and sibliigs were surrendered from farm in MN. Meet Diesel
My name is Diesel! When I first traded my barn life for a foster home, I tried really hard to be brave and prove I was the engine running this operation.

My name is Tank! I’m a big, handsome boy with a soft white coat and sharp grey tabby markings. To be honest, I'm a bit on the shy side. My barn mom told me a lot of scary stories about humans, so I’ve been pretty cautious. But since being inside, I haven't seen anything scary at all! In fact, when my foster mom pets me, it actually feels so good. I’m starting to think my mom just never gave humans a fair chance, and I'm ready to find a patient family who will help me keep building my confidence.

Read more about Sleepy
Curious by nature, Sleepy loves to explore. One of his favorite hobbies is figuring out how to escape his kitten enclosure, proudly setting off on tiny adventures before staying close to the people he loves. He’s fast, clever, and always ready to investigate something new.
When he’s not exploring, Sleepy loves to play. Toys, games, and wrestling with his siblings are some of his favorite ways to spend the day. He’s also a big fan of wet food and never turns down a delicious meal.
Although he isn’t usually one to sit still for long, Sleepy does enjoy being held and absolutely adores human attention. He’s happiest in a home where his people have time to interact with him, play with him, and let him be part of the action.
Sleepy thrives with feline companionship and

16. Happy
Some kittens are independent. Happy? He’d much rather spend every moment with someone he loves.
His foster family jokes that Happy’s heart is so full of love, there just isn’t much room left in his brain for thoughts—and honestly, it fits him perfectly. Happy is an easygoing, affectionate little guy whose greatest joy in life is being close to his favorite people and feline friends.
Read more about Happy
True to his name, Happy is exactly that—a cheerful, playful kitten who greets every day with enthusiasm. He absolutely loves human attention and isn’t shy about asking for it! If he thinks you’ve forgotten to admire him, he’ll happily let you know with his adorable little meows until you come give him the love he knows he deserves. When he’s all tuckered out, he’s perfectly content to snuggle up in your arms and drift off to sleep for a cozy nap.
Like any kitten, Happy loves to play. Small toys are his favorite, especially ones he can proudly carry around the house to show off—or tease his siblings with. Whether he’s chasing toys, wrestling with his brothers and sisters, or exploring something new, Happy brings a joyful spirit wherever he goes.
Happy is very much a follower rather than a leader. He looks to the other cats in his home for confidence and reassurance, happily taking their lead as he learns about the world. Because of this, he needs a feline companion and would do best being adopted with one of his siblings—especially his brother, Sleepy, who makes the perfect partner for him. If that’s not possible, he’ll need another friendly, patient cat who won’t mind having an adoring little shadow following them everywhere.
Happy is the kind of kitten who fills a home with laughter, cuddles, and constant companionship. If you’re looking for an affectionate little sidekick who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Happy is ready to make your family complete.
Please note that this is a strictly indoor cat. This kitten may may require a home with another kitten as kittens are

Adopting a cat in Brooklyn Center
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
