Ready to Find a Home

Willow and Cedar came into rescue as orphaned kittens a few days apart and a few weeks apart in age. They've become good friends in foster care and would love to find a home together.

When Cedar’s in a snuggly mood, he purrs really loudly and will lick your nose like a puppy.

Willow's little nose is so cute, it’s hard to resist picking her up and giving her nose a kiss.

You can check them out in action in their YouTube videos.

If you're looking for some cute, cuddly kittens, please call 651-705-6264.

Mama Bear and Baby "Bears"

Earlier this week we were contacted about Mama Bear, a pregnant cat that was going to end up having her babies outside if she could not get into rescue soon.  Dusty, a fabulous Feline Rescue supporter, saw the plea for help on Facebook and stepped forward to foster.  Mama Bear made it to Dusty's home just in time as she had six beautiful baby "bears" yesterday morning.

Thanks to Denise who drove to get Mama Bear and who temporarily cared for her until she could get to her foster home.

Community Cat Needs Your Help

This gorgeous, sweet girl was trapped by a concerned community member and brought to the vet to be spayed.  She was starving and seems grateful to be brought inside. But this beautiful Russian Blue mix now needs someone to volunteer to take her home and show her how to trust again.  She has been spayed and vaccinated.  If you have a big heart, an extra room, and just a little time to give this nice girl a chance, please email outreach@felinerescue.org for more information or if you can help.  This community cat really needs your help now!  If she does not find a home, she will be returned outside.

Candy & Izzy

You may remember Candy as the mama cat playing with her crippled kitten, Skittles, in an earlier blog post here. After little Skittles passed away, Candy struck up a friendship with another foster kitten, Izzy, in the household who had arrived as a "lonely only" (no mama, no siblings) from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.

IZZYCandy took on an auntie role with Izzy, washing her occasionally, but mostly playing with her. They are so funny to watch -- Candy is really just a kitten in her mind!

CANDYCandy and Izzy both love lap time, too, and often come for pets at the same time. They really are best buds and so cute together. They want to stay together and I certainly don't want Candy to experience another loss.

CANDY & SKITTLES

If you are thinking of adopting a pair of kittens/cats, you couldn't do better than these lovely ladies. You can meet them in their foster home. Call Joan to learn more: 651-705-6264.

Sponsor a Shelter Cat

Some of Feline Rescue’s guests believe that everything they need is right here at our Adoption Center. They prefer other cats to people. They are older and set in their ways. They have health conditions. They’d love to be someone’s “virtual cat”.

How about honoring someone, even yourself, with a Gift Sponsorship for one or more of our special guests? Choose any occasion – or no occasion at all. For just $50, Feline Rescue will send your honoree – or you – a photo of “your” cat, along with his or her story, and our special greeting card acknowledging your gift.

Another Perfect Match for Two Shy Kitties

Minnow and Popcorn are two shy kitties that were helped through our Spay-Neuter-Outreach program and featured on the blog a while back when they were still searching for just the right home.

When she arrived in our foster home, Minnow was very scared.  She was sweet but afraid of strangers, new situations, and other cats.  Then we brought Popcorn home.  Discovered living alone in the Feline Rescue parking lot, Popcorn was afraid to trust people.  Soon these girls were best  friends.  Minnow taught Popcorn to love people, and Popcorn taught Minnow to love another cat.  The girls both became affectionate lap cats and entertained us non-stop with their fun and games.  We couldn't imagine ever separating them.

It was hard to find a home for Minnow and Popcorn, because they always hid when strangers came over.  So we enjoyed their company for almost a year and a half.  We posted cute pictures and videos online of them being their friendly, funny selves.  Finally Colleen called to ask about meeting them.  I explained that while they are the sweetest cats in the world, they would probably just hide when she came over.  And hide they did. But Colleen is a patient and understanding person, and she was able to see potential as the girls peeked out at her from behind the couch.

Poppi and Minnow took some time to adjust to their new home, but now they are doing great!   Having such a wonderful forever home and family was well worth the wait!  There are many great shy kitties still waiting for their forever homes.

An update from Minnow and Poppi's new family:

Poppi has now totally come around, she even is letting my son pet her. After watching her sister get lots of scratches and fur fluffing, she has decided to try it and is a pile of purring jello once you start...  She is the most active. She loves to be within a few feet of whoever is up and about, and is alert to possible crumbs dropping if anyone is in the kitchen.

Minnow stays sleeping most of the day in her special quiet places, but early evening until about 9 or 10 in the morning she is bouncing around looking for attention.

And of course,  the favorite event - Kitty Olympics - starts about 10:30 every night. I sleep through it but my son who is in the basement is amazed at how much noise the two can make. LOL!
