3. Razia

Adult (1 year 4 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 12 mi from Le Center

Razia arrived into our care as a (semi-)feral momma. Thankfully, she was young enough and sweet enough to adapt beautifully, over time, to not only living with humans but loving affection from humans. Razia has a huge motor and soaks up loving from those she knows and trusts. She is sweet, gentle, loving and gets along well with other felines. Razia is a year old. She's been spayed and vaccinated against rabies and distemper. Razia and her kittens tested negative for both FIV and feline leukemia.

(By the way, she isn't a fan of cameras.)

Razia is available for adoption for $50, and what a treasure she is!

4. Shomo

Adult (2 years 10 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 12 mi from Le Center

Shomo is an absolutely amazing fella, so very good-natured. We don't know what trauma happened to him, but he came to the rescue needing his tail amputated, cognitively impaired, and needing help with his bladder and bowel. The dear boy simply cannot read others at all. He assumes the very best of absolutely everyone. (We use him to assess other felines as he does not react to their fear.) Shomo happily greets visitors at the door, and he loves everyone. The dear boy cannot resist crinkle bouncer toys, leaping high into the air to catch them. (He isn't the best at landing.)

Read more about Shomo

Shomo needs an extra special home as his bladder requires expressing at least every 12 hours. He has a difficult bladder to squeeze, and he isn't a huge fan of having that done. The dear boy needs someone with strong hands. He cannot urinate on his own. His bladder would rupture if not expressed. We keep his stools firm so that we can control his bowels as well, simply helping him empty his rectum when he urinates (by using external pressure).

This loving fella enjoys cuddling with felines and humans alike. He is available for adoption for $50.

Please note that Shomo is located in New Prague, MN.

Meet Callie

Callie is a precious calico kitten with beautiful splashes of orange and black, a sweet little pink nose, and an especially gentle heart.

Read more about Callie

A little shy at first, Callie feels safest in calm, quiet surroundings. She may hide while she takes in her new surroundings, but give her time, patience, gentle words, and a few tasty treats, and her sweet personality will begin to shine.

Callie loves observing the world from a cozy hiding spot under the couch or tucked into a soft cat bed. Once things are peaceful, she enjoys coming out to chase crinkle balls and bat at ribbons. She’s learning that human hands can bring wonderful things like treats—and she may even reward your patience with a soft chin scratch.

She’s looking for a calm, low-traffic home where she can settle in at her own pace without loud noises or lots of sudden movement. Her ideal adopter will understand that sometimes the sweetest bonds are built slowly, one tiny step at a time.

A confident, friendly resident cat would be a wonderful bonus for Callie. A feline friend could help show her the ropes and give her the extra confidence she needs to feel secure.

If you’re willing to give this beautiful girl the time and space she needs to blossom, Callie may reward you with something truly special: the sweetest purrs and a loving friendship built on trust.

Andy is the life of the party! He loves playing with his brothers, pouncing on toys and peering out the hole in his cat tree. Andy would do well in a house with other cats that enjoy playing or a family that can dedicate time to helping him burn energy followed by a little rest time on your lap.

About Me:

Hi there! My name is Andy and a ball of pure joy! My foster parent says I have two speeds: zoom, and fast asleep.

My absolute favorite things in the world are crinkle balls, feather wands, and climbing up my cat tree! I am incredibly brave and love to explore every corner and empty cardboard box I can find. When I finally run out of batteries, I will happily curl up right on your lap for a long, purr-filled nap.

My Ideal Forever Home: I would love a family that has plenty of toys and time to play with me! I get along with cats and older kids and would honestly love to have a furry playmate in my new home to help me burn off all this energy. Are you ready for some fun? Fill out an application to meet me!

The very first thing you will notice about Danny are those soulful eyes that will absolutely melt your heart. Although reserved at first, he still love to chase feather wands and pounce on toy mice, but he always appreciate a calm environment to unwind in.

About Me:

Hi there! People tell me I have the most magical eyes—one look at you, and your heart will completely melt! I might seem a little quiet and reserved when we first meet, but that’s just because I like to make sure the coast is clear. Don't worry, though; I still have plenty of kitten energy! I love playing with my toys and other cats once I get comfortable. I’m just looking for a patient human who doesn't mind giving me a little extra time to blossom into your absolute best friend. Could that be you?

From the Foster Family:
Meet your future best friend! This vibrant orange tabby is the absolute perfect package of energy and affection. They have a wonderful, cautious curiosity—taking a brief moment to scope out new situations before zooming into action. Once they feel safe, get ready for endless entertainment as they run, pounce, and play!

This social butterfly absolutely loves other felines and would thrive in a home with a playful resident cat to help build their confidence. After a long session of wrestling and running laps with their cat friends, their favorite thing to do is find a warm lap or a cozy shoulder to curl up on. If you are looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who brings the perfect mix of playtime and downtime, look no further!

About Me: Hi! I’m looking for a home with a built-in best friend!

I’ll admit, I can be a tiny bit cautious when I first arrive in a new place, but it doesn't take me long to find my brave side. Once I'm comfortable, I have two speeds: fast and snuggly! I love to run, chase toys, and explore every nook and cranny. Most importantly, I adore other cats! I really want a forever home that already has another friendly cat I can play with, learn from, and cuddle next to. After we tire each other out from playing, I'll be the first one climbing into your arms for a long, purr-filled nap.

From the Foster Family:

Jimmy is such a joy to be around! He loves people and is happy to get pets and attention from new people right away. He’s the perfect mix of playful kitten energy and gentle sweetness.

Read more about Jimmy

Jimmy loves to curl up in his foster’s lap, purring and soaking up attention. Then, when he’s ready for a little fun, he’ll pop up to bat around a toy for a few minutes before settling right back down for more snuggle time. He especially loves spending time and playing with his brother, Timmy.

Jimmy would do best in a home with another friendly cat. While he absolutely loves having a feline friend, he may need a little time to adjust to a new kitty who isn’t his brother. A home without another cat could also be a good fit, as long as his humans are able to give him plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship.

Jimmy has also met the resident dogs in his foster home. He was understandably a little scared at first, but once he realized they weren’t going to chase or hurt him, he quickly became much more comfortable and relaxed around them.

With his sweet, affectionate personality and playful spirit, Jimmy is a wonderful little guy who would make a loving addition to his forever family!

Read more about Melissa

From the Foster Family: As soon as we heard there was a little black kitten named Melissa who needed a soft place to land, we didn’t hesitate. First, we love black cats. Second, the foster mom of the household just happens to be named Melissa too! So naturally, this sweet little girl became Melissa Junior, or MJ for short.

MJ is an affectionate, social girl who wants to be part of whatever her people are doing. She loves attention, loves to play, and especially loves spending time with her sister, Katie. When the day is over, MJ is also quite happy to curl up with Melissa Senior and sleep beside her at night.

With her sleek black coat, gorgeous golden eyes, and curious little face, MJ is a beauty, but her personality is what really gets you. She’s loving, playful, people-oriented, and happiest when she has someone nearby.

Whether she's playing with Katie, following her people around, or settling in for bedtime, MJ just wants to be where the love is.

From the Foster Family: Bert came to me at the beginning of September. He has been an absolute joy to have in our home. Bert would do well in a home with children who are calm and respectful. Because he is a bit more sensitive to loud noises and quick movement, he would also do well in a home that provides him with stability and routine. Bert is one of the sweetest cats I have ever met!

About Me: Hi, I'm Bert! I tend to find a quiet, dark spot during the day to rest. Currently, that is in my foster mom's closet on top of her bookcase behind her hanging clothes. I sleep with my foster mom or sister at night; she's 14 and loves me so much! The other 2 resident cats are starting to accept me. I'm very respectful towards them. The dog liked me right away, and I'm getting used to him as well. I like to play with cat toys sometimes, too. For the most part, I have focused on rest and gaining a bit of weight while in care.

Read more about Marty

Meet Marty
Marty may be a little reserved when you first meet him, but underneath his glossy black coat is a sweet little boy waiting for the right person to earn his trust. He prefers to take things slowly, observing his surroundings from a cozy, safe spot before venturing out to explore.

Once Marty feels safe and comfortable, his affectionate side begins to shine. He’ll reward your patience with soft purrs, gentle lean-ins for pets, and quiet curiosity as he gets to know you. He may not be the first kitty to leap into your arms, but he has a tender heart and so much love to give to the person who takes the time to earn his trust.

Ideal Home Environment

Quiet & patient household: Marty would thrive in a low-traffic home with adults or older, gentle children who understand that trust takes time.
Safe transition space: A small, calm room, such as a spare bedroom or bathroom, will give Marty a comfortable place to settle in during his first few days.
Feline companion potential: Marty may do especially well with another friendly, confident cat who can show him the ropes and help him build his confidence.

About Me

Hi! I’m Marty! I’m a little quiet when we first meet, but I promise I’m worth getting to know.

I’m a gentle soul who prefers to observe the world before stepping into it. Give me a little time, patience, and a cozy place to call my own, and I’ll gradually come out of my shell and show you my warm, affectionate side.

I take pride in having excellent home manners. I’m fully litter-box trained, keep myself tidy, and prefer peaceful nap spots over chaotic antics. I might not leap into your arms on day one, but if you give me the time and patience I need, I’ll reward you with trust, affection, and companionship.

I’m looking for someone who understands that the best friendships aren’t always instant. Sometimes, the sweetest bonds are the ones that grow slowly—and I’m ready to become your most devoted, gentle companion for life.

From the Foster Family: Meet Evan!
|Evan will steal your bed, steal your snacks, and then steal your heart.

Read more about Evan

After arriving as a stray, Evan was initially unsure about life as an indoor cat and found just about everything a little scary. Those days are long behind him. Now, Evan has fully embraced indoor living and confidently rules the house!

Evan generally gets along well with the resident cats, though he can sometimes be a little enthusiastic in his interactions. Because of this, slow and thoughtful introductions to other pets are recommended.

He does well with elementary-aged children and adults who understand how to approach him calmly and respectfully. Evan is a loving, affectionate companion who is always ready to flop over for belly rubs, rewarding his favorite people with some of the loudest purrs you'll ever hear. He loves holding hands, giving endless kisses, and being close to his humans. While he can occasionally get a little "pawsy" during playtime, he's simply having fun and does not show signs of aggression.

A playful spirit, Evan could happily spend hours chasing a string or batting around his favorite toys. When he's not playing, you'll likely find him perched atop the highest spot on the cat tree, carefully monitoring the birds and squirrels outside. And when dinner time rolls around, he'll make sure you're aware of it with a chorus of meows.

Most of all, Evan is a loyal and devoted companion who loves deeply. If you're looking for a cat who will fill your home with affection, personality, and constant companionship, Evan may be the perfect match.

Read more about Alice

From the Foster Family: Alice’s story began in an unfamiliar and scary place. She was found crying in a driveway off a gravel road. She was loud enough to catch much needed attention. Alice had been starving. Her tiny body was covered in scrapes and half of her whiskers were missing. Luckily, she found herself in the right driveway! After about three days of resting and scarfing down food and water, Alice was able to be herself. Her energy and resilience has been incredible to experience. She is playful, brave, social and such a sweetie. After what was likely a nightmare for Alice, she has woken up in a much kinder place. She has been so wonderful to get to know and is ready to land in her forever home.

About Me: Hi, I’m Alice! It’s been quite a long journey, but I’ve found myself in a cozy home with other kitties to play with. It’s tons of fun here and I spend most of my time chasing toys. I’m so happy to always have fresh water and a full food bowl! Using a litter box was pretty natural for me and I’ve taken a liking to keeping my fur extra clean. Sometimes I get lonely and talk with my friends and foster mom. I love when they listen. I thank them by making biscuits and purring as loud as I can. Snuggles are my absolute favorite and I’m very excited to meet my forever family!

Meet Bluey! A loving mama with a playful side!

Read more about Bluey

Bluey is such a wonderful mama to her 4 baby kittens with one of them being a little orphan she welcomed into her pride! She has been loving, attentive, and devoted to her kittens, making sure they get all the care and affection they need. Of course, being a mama doesn’t mean she’s above helping herself to her kittens’ leftover food if there happens to be extra! A girl has to keep her strength up, after all!

One of the sweetest things about Bluey has been watching her personality blossom. As she’s grown more comfortable, we’ve gotten to see more and more of her playful, curious side, and it has been so much fun! She loves wand toys, fuzzy toys, and pretty much anything that moves. Give her something fun to chase, and she’s ready to play!

Now that she’s getting some well-deserved time outside the nursery, Bluey is enjoying the opportunity to stretch her legs, explore, and run around with the other kitties. When the play sessions get going upstairs, you’d think a herd of elephants was playing tag! It’s wonderful to see her embracing this new chapter and enjoying all the fun that comes with being a cat herself, rather than just being a mama.

But don’t let her playful side fool you; Bluey also has a softer side that will absolutely melt your heart. She loves a warm lap, gentle affection, and those just-right chin scritches. There’s something so special about watching a cat who has spent her time caring for others begin to relax, feel safe, and enjoy a little pampering of her own.

Bluey is a beautiful reminder that even the best mamas deserve their own happily-ever-after. She has so much love to give and so much personality to share, and we can’t wait to see her continue to thrive.

Could your home be the place where Bluey gets to be the baby, soak up all the love, and enjoy a lifetime of cozy naps, playtime, and chin scritches? She’s ready to find out!

Read more about Velvet

This lovely girl came to us with injuries compatible with having been thrown from a car. She was found abandoned, underweight, and sick from both injuries as well as infections. The kind lady who found her kept her in a garden shed until we took her in as a foster.

Velvet is very food motivated; loves to play with the other one year old kitten we have and she is fearless! She approaches all five of our cats and two dogs with interest, curiosity and really wants to cuddle with the dogs who each are 60-70 pounds each. She would do best in a home with at least one more cat to play with and would enjoy cat tolerant dogs if they were in the household. She is the energizer bunny, though over the last few weeks has finally slowed down to enjoy naps with, and pets from humans. She is in the process of learning boundaries, as she can get into the other animal’s space and doesn’t respond to their clues to “move along”. She loves her cat condo and is an impressive climber. She only scratches on her cat condo and has never failed to use the litter box.

About Me: Hi I’m Velvet! I am a “rambunctious bundle of joy”, or so my foster mom says. I love to sit on her lap for pets and sit behind her on the couch when I nap with my paws up against her. She serves the BEST kitten food ever! I used to not have food, so I do love feeding times!

The beginning of my life was not very good. I don’t dwell on it, but I was very sick when someone finally listened to my cries for help. Since then, I just love the world! I have a play buddy here and we wrestle and tumble, having so much fun. I like having the other animals around and the big fluffy cat holds me down and licks me! The dogs are so calm all the time, so I try to bring excitement to their lives. They aren’t so sure about that, but I think they are great! I love sitting in the windows and chittering at the birds outside. Everything is an adventure!

I would love to find a forever home with another or few animal friends I can play with and spend time with. I would be lonely alone, I think. With slow introductions, I think we would learn to be buddies. I do enjoy people but ones that don’t try to force me to do things at their pace. I learn quickly but want to do it at my own speed. Dare I say the squirt bottle works as a hard stop if I’m really pushing limits. Do you have space in your heart and home for a kitten who started life out hard, but doesn’t let it hold me back now? I have so much love to give!

From the Foster Family:
Georgie is so loving and sweet, he will need you to be patient and give him some space and time and can be a little bit introverted at first. He will cuddle up next to you on the couch and the end of the bed. He loves to stare out the window checking for the squirrels and rabbits that run around outside and will talk with them as they run by. Like his siblings, Georgie loves to play; he loves plastic easter eggs, mice and just about anything he can bat around on the floor. He enjoys hanging with his siblings and the other cats in the home and loves the lab that lives there as well. You will need to go slow with Georgie, but once he warms up to you, he will for sure bring lots of love to you and your home!

Adopting a cat in Le 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.
