Cats for Adoption in Trimont, MN: 20 Cats Looking for a Home

Goldy looks most like their tabico mom, but she doesn’t seem to have inherited Honeydewbert’s short tail. Goldy is a master hunter of toy mice. She likes to carry them around proudly and dare her sisters to try stealing her catch! She is fierce! She needs a minute to relax in a new situation and was a bit camera shy, but she is easy to distract with toys and pets. Goldy and her mom are bonded. Goldy is still learning confidence from her mom’s example. Honeydewbert is a very attentive mother who really needs to keep her baby with her and get anxious about adult cats even looking in the direction of her kittens. They are adorable when they play and wrestle together.

Goldy was born March 19th, 2026. If Goldy is not spayed by the time she is adopted, she will be on a spay/neuter contract. She is microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants. *The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*

Honeydewbert and her trio of baby girls were part of an outdoor colony that lost their caretaker and were too friendly to relocate. Indoor life with toys and treats, please! Honeydewbert acts perfectly comfortable inside. She loves pets and treats and catnip toys. Honeydewbert has been a very patient mama who constantly talks to her daughters and will either indulge them or demonstrate healthy boundaries as needed. She is suspicious of other adult cats who even look in the direction of her daughters. She also tried to insist we hand over a hungry baby kitten who didn’t have his own mama anymore so she could share her milk with him. We sadly couldn’t let her do it for health and safety reasons, but it was very sweet. We’re not sure how old Honeydewbert is. She has definitely lived rough for a while, but we think her short tail is probably natural. She is bonded with her equally tabico baby Golden Prize Melon. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants.

Meet Elsa and Littles, two sweet girls who have made incredible progress acclimating to indoor life. They are truly bonded, enjoying their snuggle, grooming and play time together! They seem to have their own little system for navigating the world. Littles is braver - she checks things out and helps Elsa feel safe. Once Elsa gets comfortable, she looks after Littles! They make a pretty special team.

Both girls have blossomed in foster care, becoming increasingly confident and social. They eagerly takes treats, enjoys lots of pets and playtime and have even started to hop up on a chair or couch to sit close to foster mom.

They are still cautious with people and navigate their surroundings with vigilance so they would do best with someone willing to continue working with them on socialization and building trust. A calmer home with adults or older, respectful kids would be ideal.

These lovely girls come with some quirks! Littles doesn't meow, she squeaks! She has no problem bringing on her loudest, longest squeaks when it's time to eat! Elsa has a favorite game... catching fingers and toes! She likes to bat at them and will even gently mouth them. Give her a choice between a toy and toes, she is all about the toes!

Elsa and Littles will need time to decide if you're their person, but once they do, you get to see just how affectionate, funny, and endearing these two really are. They’ve already come so far, and they’re ready for the next chapter together.

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. He loves walking around with our resident cat and napping by her side. If you have a little patience to let them warm up at their own pace, you will be rewarded with the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ever ask for.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Biff is a playful, confident, and outgoing boy with a soft, gentle nature. He loves being near his humans and is very people-oriented, while still maintaining a nice sense of independence. He enjoys affection without being overly demanding and is happiest when he can be part of whatever his people are doing. His even-tempered personality and sweet disposition make him an easygoing and wonderful companion.

Cali-ente is a confident, curious, and sweet-natured girl who is happy doing her own thing but always enjoys affection from anyone willing to give it. She’s playful without being overly rambunctious and has a wonderful balance of independence and companionship. Self-sufficient and inquisitive, she has an easygoing personality and a sweet, gentle presence.

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!

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!

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!

From the Foster Family: Bernadette is the sweetest little girl! She is the only female, and the smallest, in her litter so she has to stand up to her brothers from time to time; she does let them know she is the boss. She LOVES to lay in the sun, so you can typically find her laying in the window. Like her brothers, she loves to play; loves her plastic easter eggs, mice and anything she can find laying around. Bernie will cuddle up next to you when you are lounging around and will come running when you call her and gives you lots of loving looks when you are petting her. She enjoys hanging with her brothers and the other cats in the home and loves the lab that lives there as well.
