2. Olivia
Olivia (4.5 months old)
Read more about Olivia
Olivia is one of the kittens currently in the shelter. She is shy and gentle, but if you approach her quietly you can pet her neck and shoulders. She loves treats and playing with kittens in her room at the shelter. As you can see, she looks quite glamorous with her long gray coat. Olivia also lived outdoors before she came to the shelter and is used to the company of other cats--another cat friend is highly advised for this kitty.
She would like a quiet, calm home where she can come out of her shell and feel at ease. A home where people aren't going in and out of the house constantly would also be best, as this kitten might be a door dasher.
All kittens need some special play time and socialization from a friendly and patient adopter, and Olivia is no different. Keep in mind that kittens often need to burn off energy and bond with other kittens or good-natured, active adult cats, so consider adopting two if you don't already have a companion at home for Olivia.

Slytherin (8.5 years old)
Slytherin is a large black and white cat with distinctive markings on his face. He has lovely, long white whiskers and soft green eyes.

6. Messi
Messi (1 year old)
Read more about Messi
Messi is a handsome buff tabby cat with gold eyes, and he is equal parts leisure and action. When he is asleep or lounging, he looks like a work of art with his calm and beautiful presence. But he is also active enough to need an engaged human to take time with him. Messi has lots of energy and would benefit from play therapy, especially if his adopter could get out the interactive toys for fun sessions twice a day. Messi is keen on treats and would enjoy other boredom busters like food puzzles, too. For nap time, Messi likes to be up high, and he'd love to have cat trees where he can bask, tiger-like, on the upper perches. Messi would thrive in an adult-only home that lets him be as active as he wants to be but also brings out his gentler, affectionate, and relaxed dimensions.
Messi is currently on a medication, but there's potential to wean him off it in a calm home situation.

7. Mercat
Mercat (7-9 years old)
Read more about Mercat
Mercat’s gray tabby face with green eyes reveals a sedate and calm lady who has been around long enough to know just what she wants: one or two kind people to call her own, a relaxed home with no kids, cats, or dogs, and special sleeping places up on a couch, shelf, or cat tree. She enjoys being petted and brushed, and she will sit beside you, letting you know that she enjoys your nearness. She is slightly hard of hearing and often doesn’t wake up right away when you walk into the room. When she does waken, it’s with a ready hello from her slightly raspy, loud voice, and a quick request for your attention. In her own cute way, she can be downright insistent upon love. And as much as she needs love and approval from her special people, she needs her alone time (aka “beauty sleep”). Please don't overlook this older tabby cat. Other cats may steal the limelight, but Mercat is a steady, calm gal looking for a warm place to land in this world. In an adult-only home that offers the perfect balance between peaceful social time and her necessary “me time,” Mercat will thrive.
Mercat is on lifetime medication for a thyroid condition.
Mercat would be a good cat for seniors.

Adopting a cat in Glyndon
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.
