Adoption Event December 5

Feline Rescue foster kittens and cats will be meeting and greeting potential adopters at our adoption event this Saturday, December 5 from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Roseville Petco. Hope to see you there!

Lola: Feline Rescue’s Leading Lady

Lola isn’t one of the first cats that people notice when visiting the Feline Rescue Adoption Center. A big, laid-back girl, Lola tends to stay out of the spotlight. But spend a little time with her and you’ll see what a star Lola can be! She would steal the show playing the lead role of the special cat in your life.

When Lola was rescued a few years ago, she was injured and starving. She has lived at Feline Rescue for years now, and it’s hard to say why she’s been overlooked by adopters for so long. Lola would LOVE to have a home!

Lola is friendly and sweet and loves attention. Sleeping in the sun is one of her favorite pastimes, but Lola also likes to play. She recently lost a lot of weight (thanks her diet of canned food) and feels great. Running and pouncing are more fun than ever now!

Lola tolerates most cats but is a little picky when it comes to choosing her feline friends. She gets along great with her roommate Milo, and they make an excellent pair! (Incidentally, Milo is another great cat who for years has been overlooked by adopters because with new people, he tends to act aloof—something this sweet and funny cat definitely is not!)

Lola's friend Milo

If you’re looking for a mature, dependable, all-around wonderful cat, Lola is perfect for the part. She will be waiting in the wings (or the sunny windowsill in the front room), hoping that you’ll soon make it past whichever too-cute, flighty young cat greeted you at the shelter door, to give lovely, laid-back Lola the chance instead.

If you are interested in learning more about Lola, please stop by the Feline Rescue Adoption Center or call 651-642-5900, ext.3.

Everybody Loves James

Big orange boy James makes friends wherever he goes, which now that I think of it is only to the vet or the groomer. But, he happily makes friends with anyone who comes into his home.

In his previous life, he roamed the streets of St. Paul. The people who rescued him and brought him to Feline Rescue’s shelter christened him after the street on which they found him, James Avenue. The name stuck and it fits this mellow, friendly cat.

His mom met him at the shelter and was most impressed with the size of his head and paws (extra large), his funny voice (hoarse) and his nature (affectionate and cuddly). That was in 2003. Luckily, she had just moved to a new house and had room to add a cat.


These days, James spends an inordinate amount of time following the sun as it moves from window to window. His former favorite toy, a twisted pipe cleaner, has been abandoned for a higher tech plaything: the cords of the window shades. Their little wooden knobs are great fun to bang into walls. In the dead of night they make the most amazing little slapping sounds.

He enjoys playing with his German Shepherd ‘sister’, Daisy, and amazes his friends by letting the big dog take his head in her mouth. Not to worry, it is all done safely in pursuit of a good time for all participants.

James is grateful to the people at Feline Rescue who took him in and made him ready for his forever wonderful life.

Precious Pearl

Have you stopped by the Feline Rescue Adoption Center lately to meet our little Pearl? If so, you probably noticed how cute she is.

You might also have noticed that sometimes she can act a little surly. You may be under the impression that this pearl is unpolished. In fact, you may never meet a sweeter, funnier cat than Pearl! She’s a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

So what's with the tough girl act? Why does Pearl put on such a show? Why is she locked up in this kennel, only to come out and have her fun when all the other cats are put away and most visitors have gone home? In case you haven't noticed, there are a lot of cats around here. Pearl doesn't like cats and, boy, does she let us know!

Pearl has also lived with humans who didn’t always treat her kindly. But she hasn’t given up on us. She’s eager to trust and love someone who will love her.




Pet Pearl when she’s in her comfy bed. She will roll over to show you her tummy, purr, and rub up against you. Pearl will give you a glimpse of what it will be like when you take her home— away from all the distractions here that make her not act like herself at all.



Pearl is a treasure. Give her a chance and you’ll see! Pearl is still practically a kitten. And while we’re glad that she’s safe, warm, and well-loved here by so many Feline Rescue volunteers, we want her to find a home where she can feel free to run and play and be her friendly, little kittenish self.



If you are interested in meeting Pearl or learning more about her, please stop by the Feline Rescue Adoption Center or call 651-642-5900, ext.3.

Meet Feline Rescue's newest kitten: Betty Boop

This sweet little girl was found wandering around all alone outside today, and fortunately someone found her and brought her to our shelter. As you can see in her picture, she has a cold and an eye infection so it was a good thing she was rescued before it got worse.She's a friendly little girl with a spunky personality, which earned her the name Betty Boop. Betty will be coming to my house for a week or two to recuperate once the vet releases her. I'll be sure to post updates as she gets healthier! We'll be looking for another foster home for her in one to two weeks, so please contact Cathy at 651-230-3263 if you're interested.

Only a Matter of Time

Alice was adopted the beginning of November. In one of her first updates, her new mom wrote:

...the other day, the dogs wanted to go into the dining room and Alice was blocking the doorway so they kind of made a move towards her and she just picked up her paw (to show them her 'weapon') and they backed right off.

But yesterday we received the following photo.

Roo and Riley

Roo, one of Kanga's kittens, went home last week and now has a new best friend, Riley. We received some very sweet photos and updates from Roo's family.

Hello. I had to send you this pic of the boys curled up on my lap. I know it's a bit dark but hopefully you can see it clearly enough. They are both purring and sleeping soundly together. They are definitely making great progress toward becoming best buds.

...

Thank you for raising him. I know he misses you because sometimes he sleeps on the blanket you gave him. But I think this will become home for him in time. We are so happy to have him as a part of our family.

...Here is another one, which may be better quality. They have been cuddling and playing more today. It's wonderfully heartwarming. He seems happy. Take care. Keep up the good work rescuing these wonderful animals.

Blessed be,
Amber
