Murray was surrendered with Nellie, Gretta, and Milton. They came to us with their Mama through our spay/neuter program. Mama was fixed and was returned to her original home. The kittens stayed in our care in hopes they would find loving families our their own. All four kittens came in a little scared (understandable) but have quickly begun to adjust to the new environment. They are all affectionate and playful. We know they will be happy once they are settled into life with their families. Murray is a super sweet orange tabby male kitten. He seems like he is the "party boy" of the group. He loves to play and is happy with any toy available! Murray also loves attention is generally the first to purr of the group. This entire group seems to be an exceptionally kind and loving group. We have quickly fallen for this entire litter and you will too!

We know they will be happy once they are settled into life with their families. Milton is a sweet orange (buff) and white male kitten. He seems like the strong sensitive type as he is the "big brother" of the group. He is the largest but also seems to "watch" us the most as if he is making sure his siblings are safe. Once he knows all is well, he quickly joins the fun and is certainly open to some attention. We have quickly fallen for this entire litter and you will too!

Isaac and his mother, Fluffy, arrived on 10-9-26. Fluffy was pregnant again. We believe Isaac was from her first litter of the season. He was probably born in April, 2026. He did live in a "foster" situation with Fluffy for a bit and they said both cats were great. Isaac likes to run and play and he LOVES his mother; they are with each other constantly so far. He was a bit shy with new people but warms up when he knows you! We are looking for a calm, loving home where Isaac will be given time for transition. He will be adopted as an INDOOR only cat. Isaac now neutered and current on shots/dewormings.

Woodstock is a sweet and playful boy available at PetSmart in Wisconsin Rapids.

This kitten has a heart of gold. He is so "polite" and such a sweet boy. Subie is kind, affectionate, and playful without being wild. He is friendly with other kittens and loves human attention. Subie seems like he will be a strong and steady cat when he grows up, a consistent and solid best friend to his family. He seems to adjust easily to new circumstances and people and because of his easy-going demeanor he will probably fit into most any family as long as this family includes another similar aged kitten. Our kittens always need the perfect partner to head home with (kittens must be adopted in pairs or have a SIMILAR AGED kitten already in the home) so please know this before you apply. Applications for single kittens will be denied. Subie deserves a family that will love and care for him and a partner kitten to help him continue to grow and develop into an amazing cat with good manners and a full heart. PLEASE take this into consideration before you apply and know that we work very hard to place our kittens in homes that set them up for the happiest, healthiest life possible. If you are interested in Subie please note that on your two-kitten application and we will discuss a good match based on your family, preferences, and our current availability. Subie is lucky to currently be in a foster home where he is getting extra care and attention. Make sure to note during your applicant interview that you are interested in Subie so that we have him available at the shelter for you to meet.

This beautiful kitten was surrendered with Clyde. We are not sure if they are littermates or just two of the many cats this person was trying to assist and find placement for.

Check out this handsome fella! Clyde is not only a looker but he is also so very sweet. He loves people and loves ATTENTION. He will stare at you with his bright copper eyes until you notice him. Clyde also seems to be mellow and kind with other cats and because he is so young we feel another young cat in the home (or adopted in a pair from the shelter) is a must. He did come to us with Rue so we know they are great together but again because he is so friendly we believe he would adapt to almost any young and fun cat.

This kitten is perfect in every way! Her little body is packed full of sass and sweet. Cora has short little legs and a compact little body but has the heart of a giant. She seems to make the most of every day. She wakes up ready to tackle anything, she plays like a crazy girl, purrs like a lion, and can make anyone smile after a hard day. Cora is pure joy with a little spice mixed in just for fun.

This sweet girl was surrendered with her Mom (Elsa) after spending her young life outside. Even though life has probably been difficult so far this baby is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves to pet, held, and just loved. She is gaining confidence every day and has begun to approach for attention. Samantha loves other cats she is in a room currently with her Mom and two other adult cats, Vern and Millie. You can find Samantha snuggled with them when she needs comfort, so we know Samantha loves other cats. Because of her age and her interest in other cats/kittens we will require Samantha to be adopted with another one of our kittens or into a home with another young cat (similar to Samantha's age or at least under age 2 years old) that is playful and open to a kitten friend.

Elsa was surrendered to us with her kitten Samantha. Both Elsa and "Sammy" are so incredibly sweet. Elsa survived with her kitten outside and she does have some small things that let us know it probably wasn't easy. Her one ear is missing the tip, at first glance you would think she had been ear-tipped at spay to identify a TNR cat, but that is not the case. We believe she may have damage from either an injury of some sort or her ear tip was damaged by frostbite over the harsh winter. As you can imagine Elsa is happy to be at our shelter, safe, warm, and always with a full belly. We are so happy Elsa survived whatever she did and also took such good care of her kitten Samantha who is perfect in every way. She was clearly a great Mama kitty who is now ready to live her own life with a loving family to help her continue to understand how to be a QUEEN. We know Elsa is a quick study and will no doubt adjust to a life of luxury. (Luxury to her will be food, a sunny window, and a warm bed....and of course a family to love her). Elsa seems appreciative to just be cared for, please consider giving this wonderful cat a second chance to have a beautiful life.

Jeff was rescued from the Austin City Pound on 8/26/26 when no one came to claim him. He is a very, very nice guy who arrived in pretty rough shape. He literally had been starving and was extremely underweight. He also had a pretty good injury on his back foot. We slowly introduced Jeff back to eating and he has done great. His teeth/gums were also in rough shape, so a dental has been arranged. We are looking for a loving, indoor only home for this friendly guy. He is about 4 to 5 years of age and he was previously neutered. He has tested neg for feline leukemia/FIV. Adoption fee is $100 with an approved application which is available at mchs.rescuegroups.org. You must be 21 to aadopt from MCHS and a pet carrier is required. Our address is 101 22 ST SE, Austin, MN. We are located off of I-90 via exit 180B to 218 SOUTH. We are just past our local airport. THANKS.

Goobert was rescued from the Brownsdale area in August, 2026 and no owner came forward to claim him. Goobert is a friendly guy who is about 6 years old. He is now neutered and current on shots/dewormings. He has tested neg for feline leukemia/FIV. Here at MCHS he is still getting used to being around over 100 other cats so we are totally sure how he will be with other felines. Adoption fee is $100 with a completed application which is available at mchs.rescuegroups.org. A pet carrier is required at the time of adoption and you must be 21 to adopt from MCHS.

Lottie came to LOAR via a stray surrender. This sweet girl was hanging out in the finder's garage until we had space in our facility. They thought she was such a sweet cat and deserved a chance at an indoor life and we agree. Lottie is a doll, beautiful and affectionate. It's as if she knows she is safe now. Lottie might prefer to be your one and only as she tends to try for all of your attention when other cats come towards her while she is being loved on. She does not go after others and we do occasionally see her rubbing against other cats and sometimes snuggling with them so we are not sure if some of this behavior (attention grabbing) will pass once she is settled or if it is just her personality. We do think Lottie would be fine with a calm, patient, and well mannered cat who is fine with sharing your attention as again she is not aggressive but maybe just has not learned all of the social rules of being a cat yet. She grew up outside so resources were harder to come by so Lottie may have just learned this behavior as a way to protect herself. A new home and family that is willing to love Lottie ALOT and provide her with LOTS of attention is what this beauty is really looking for.

Nash was surrendered with his brother Nico (new names) when his family was moving and could not take their pets with them (rental would not allow them). They had lived with the same people since they were kittens so are now understandably confused as to how/why they are with us, but they both remain sweet and affectionate although a little scared by all the new people, smells, sounds, and of course, the number of other cats. We believe both boys will adjust well with a little time and some extra love. They are both super affectionate, Nash would love it if you could spend your entire day with him!

We believe both boys will adjust well with a little time and some extra love. They are both super affectionate so they would love it if you could spend your entire day just hanging out with them. Both boys are all exceptionally gentle and have never shown as signs of aggression even in high fear/anxiety situations (for example when medicating them). We will continue to update photos and bios as we get to know these boys better.

Houdini was found in Mower County and brought to MCHS on 8/1/26 when no owner came forward. This handsome boy is about a year to 2 years old. He is also a very friendly guy with people (with other cats, he says no way!) Houdini is now neutered and current on shots/dewormings. He has tested neg for feline leukemia/Heartworm and positive for HIV. The adoption fee is $100 with an approved application which is available online. A pet carrier is needed at the time of adoption and you must be 21 to adopt from MCHS. Houdini will be adopted as an only cat. Our address is 101 22 ST SE, Austin, MN. We are located off of I-90 via exit 180B to 218 SOUTH. We are just past our local airport. Thanks.

Check out Cyril! He is just EVERYTHING! All kitten! First, he is adorable. Like perfect. He is short and compact, and well he really is just a little guy but don't let that fool you. He is just a fireball. Cyril is full of energy and fun. He loves to play, with toys, with other kittens, with our volunteers. He jumps, he climbs, he gets into mischief, but then he comes back crawls into your lap and snuggles for it. Again, he is just the perfect balance of everything wonderful about kittens. He would happily pair with any of our current kittens as he loves everyone and generally they seem to love him right back! Consider adding Cyril to your family.

Jasmine is the sweetest soul! She is just a petite little girl that was found all alone as a stray and brought to our shelter, the finder said she was scared but friendly, and that she is. Jasmine is just a little unsure yet but super affectionate once you start petting her. She will lean into your hand and begin to purr as if she was waiting all day for you. We know she is on the road to stealing a special family's heart because she already has ours. This young cat deserves a chance to feel safe and loved forever. Please consider adding Jasmine to your family.

This little sweetheart was found all alone in an alley by one of our volunteers. He brought her in and although she was very scared she was also VERY sweet. She was fostered for a bit with another single kitten who was much smaller than her (but also much wilder!) and they made fast friends. They are both back at the shelter and in a room with another litter of five and are all doing amazing. Allie is a gorgeous tabby with black markings and silver tips on some of her fur. She has the little black hair ear tips so she really will be a very striking cats as she grows. Allie is a mellow kitten, she mostly wants to snuggle with the others, and certainly with people. She is a little nervous at first meet but as you start to pet her she will flop down and begin to roll to her back to show you her belly. AND boy does she have a motor, Allie has a strong purr that she loves to use. Again, Allie likes all of the other kittens in her room (and would probably also be happy with any of our other kittens in other rooms) she is a kind and gentle little girl kitten.

Jimmy has the sweetest face and he loves when you smouch it! This guy is just a cool cat, mellow and affectionate. He is quickly getting used to shelter life, he only gets a little mouthy when you ignore him or take too long getting him his pets. Jimmy really enjoys being loved on and we think he can probably fit into most any family because of his low key attitude. This guy is just finishing up his "new kid" processing but once he is ready he will be introduced to the rest of the crew and we will update his bio and pictures as soon as we have more to share.

Tabitha and her companion felines, Arrow and Spade were surrendered in June, 2026. Tabitha was a bit shy and reserved when she arrived, but with time she has mellowed out and enjoys people pets! At her previous home, she was a very friendly girl and she lived with a friendly dog. Tabitha has tested neg for feline leukemia/FIV, is now spayed and is current on shots. She has always been an indoor cat and will be adopted as an indoor only girl. Adoption fee is $100 with a completed and approved application which is available at mchs.rescuegroups.org. A pet carrier is required at the time of adoption and you must be 21 to adopt from MCHS. Our address is 101 22 ST SE, Austin, MN. We are located off of I-90 via exit 180B to 218 SOUTH.

The adoption fee for Spade is $100 with an approved application which is available at mchs.rescuegroups.org. You must be 21 to adopt from MCHS and a pet carrier is required at the time of adoption.
