Fun-loving Brothers

Claude and Pumpkin recently moved from a foster home to the Feline Rescue adoption center to meet new people and find their forever home. These one-year-old brothers are an entertaining pair!

Pumpkin is fluffy and sweet! He loves petting and will curl up with you on the couch to watch TV.


If there’s nothing good on TV, Claude and Pumpkin will entertain you. Wind them up and watch them go! They will chase anything that moves but especially peacock feathers and other things that fly through the air, allowing them to practice their high-jumping skills. Just like a cat, Claude always lands on his feet. Pumpkin… usually does (wind resistance from his long, luxurious hair makes it hard to be as graceful and aerodynamic a his sleek brother Claude).


Claude is short-haired and all grey. He looks a bit like a stuffed animal with his plush fur and big saucer eyes that are always wide open. Claude doesn’t have time to blink: he might miss something. Claude’s foster mom reports that he likes to be in the middle of the action and always followed her around the house.

Although he’s brave and curious, Claude is still not quite comfortable with one thing: petting. It’s too bad, because Claude would like to be petted. He watches how the other cats here enjoy it, so he knows that it must feel good. He sees his brother Pumpkin start to purr when someone scratches him on the head or rubs him on the belly. Claude just needs the right person to come along and earn his trust. Once he feels how good petting can be, he won’t want you to stop.

If your humdrum home life lacks excitement, consider bringing Claude and Pumpkin home. Earning Claude’s trust will be a rewarding challenge. And the way these guys play, you’re practically guaranteed to never be bored again!
To meet Claude and Pumpkin, stop by the Feline Rescue Adoption Center or call 651-642-5900, ext.3.

Brothers: Bootstrap Bill and Leopold

I adopted Leo and Boots (their names used to be Jade and Jazzy) from Feline Rescue Inc. almost 3 years ago. They just had their 3rd birthday last May 2. I bought them playtime cubes and they are nuts about it.

Bootstrap Bill is the black and white cat. He is a little trouble maker! He still love to steal things. He steals everything but the kitchen sink. He demands me to pet him for a half hour before he settle down at the bedtime. He melts my heart with his cuteness. He likes to sit in the middle of the living room and watch us. He is a curious boy.

Curious Bootstrap Bill

Leopold, the orange tabby, is so handsome and he knows it. He is also smart. I let him outside on  leash. He learn to not go outside until I put the leash on. He would jump on the top of tin garbage can by the window and wait patiently for me to get the leash. Leo also knows that meowing at me will not work. (I am deaf) He would tap on my shoulders, legs or butt. It took my other cats years before they figured out how to get my attention!

Handsome Leopold

They are very close brothers. They play together and sleep together. They can get wild sometimes, Boots love to run over us on the couch while Leo chase him. So far no injury but there were close ones! :)

I am so lucky that they are mine.

And Feline Rescue is lucky that the boys found such a wonderful home with Lisa!

Tunnel Play - Lily's Kittens

Lily's kittens are exploring and playing now that they are 5 weeks old.  Their favorite toy is a tunnel that crinkles as they walk in it.



Their foster caregiver still needs help naming the kittens.  If you think you have the perfect names for 3 orange tabby boys and a sweet girl, you can bid on-line to Name That Litter.

Fifi - Just Being Cute

Fifi's foster caregiver sent some photos of Fifi (aka Ophelia) just being her cute self.

Fifi's kittens have all been adopted and Fifi is looking for her forever home.  If you are interested in learning more about Fifi, please call 651-705-6264 or 651-230-3263.

Update on Lulu and her babies

You met Lulu and her babies last month, and my how they've grown! Today is their eight-week birthday, which means they'll be ready to find their forever homes in a little over a month.

Here's a good shot of the entire family at their first check-up:

From left to right, there's Velcro (boy), Button (girl), Snap (boy), mama Lulu, Larrie (girl), and Zipper (boy). They're a loving, friendly, playful bunch. Their foster parents have decided to keep Lulu and Larrie, but the rest are doing their best to convince you to take them home after they're fixed.

That's Button (or Snap - it's tough to tell them apart) and Zipper, begging for some attention. But don't think for one second that they're starved for it. These lucky kitties are pampered beyond belief. They even had a baby shower! Quite a difference from the life they would have faced on the streets, if they would have even survived being born outside in March.

Now for the main event: kitties playing like there's no tomorrow. If this video doesn't inspire you to want to snatch up one of these cuties when they're up for adoption in June, I don't know what will.
