Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Lake City, Minnesota

Can you believe that two beautiful kitties like Mango and me were left behind? It’s true! I’m a lovely, fluffy, medium-haired orange and white female cat called Papaya. My sweet kitten and I were found in the garage area of a rental property by the property manager after a tenant moved out and left us behind. We went to Paws and Claws, and because my baby Mango was only about 2-3 weeks old, we went to a foster home. I’m a good mother, but this “mamaya” named Papaya is ready to give up my mothering duties and be pampered! Most of the time, I was friendly and cuddly while in my foster home. I let my foster mom handle my kitten. However, I can get “snippy” at times, so I may do best in a home with older children or adults only. Christopher Columbus coined the term “papaya” when he first tasted the fruit. It means “fruit of the angels.” I hope I’ll be someone’s sweet Papaya very soon!

“Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog.” – “Matilda”, Roald Dahl. When you’re a kitten, you can be outrageous, at least sometimes! I’m Matilda, one of seven “M” kittens who came to Paws and Claws after our rescuer in the Twin Cities was unable to find anywhere locally that would take us. We were born to a pregnant stray, and she took us in and cared for us until we were old enough to be adopted. She’s keeping our mama, and Paws and Claws was kind enough to take all seven of us. We are three females and four males, all with beautiful, medium-length, shiny black coats. In our rescuer’s home, we had a wild time playing with rattly plastic balls and wrestling with each other. We liked eating Pure Balance Pro Kitten Formula with Chicken. Now, at the shelter, we’ve discovered toy mousies! I am a bit bashful like my siblings, but if I’m approached slowly, I like being petted. I’d probably do well with a sister, brother, or another active kitten in my home. Go whole hog – adopt merry Matilda to be your kitty girl!Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

I rock. You rock. We rock! I’m Mason, one of seven kittens who were born to a pregnant stray in the Twin Cities area. A nice woman took us in until we were old enough to find forever homes. She’s keeping our mama, but she couldn’t find anyone in her area to take any of us kittens, so Paws and Claws kindly agreed to take us in. We love playing with jingle balls, and we also have fun chasin’ and wrestlin’ together. We were eating Pure Balance Pro Kitten Formula with Chicken. At the shelter, my siblings and I have discovered the joy of playing with toy mice. We have slowly warmed up to people and are becoming more curious about our room. If approached slowly, I like being petted. I have a handsome, medium-length black, shiny coat. Come in and watch us rock and roll! For a solid choice, pick Mason to be your kitty boy!

Have you ever been all dressed up with no place to go? That’s kind of what I feel like. I’m Munchkin, a medium-haired, brown tabby female who came from a northern Minnesota town with five other cats from my home. We’re like Homecoming Queen candidates – we’re all looking for a special homecoming welcome because our person was evicted from her home and needed to find a place for us. I’ve never been around dogs, but I did fine with the other five cats in my home. I will need a slow introduction to other cats in my new home, as I am a shy girl. I am very loving and affectionate, and I liked sleeping with my person. I`ve been around teenagers and did fine with them. I like playing with toys. My favorite food is Purina seafood. Will you welcome me into your home? I’d love to be your special Munchkin kitty.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

There have been some colorful characters named Homer, real humans and fictional ones, like Homer Simpson. Did you know that there’s even a big home improvement store that has a mascot named Homer D. Poe? Never mind all that and focus on ME! I’m Homer, an extremely handsome, medium-haired brown tabby neutered male who’s estimated to be 8 months old. My brother Howie and I were found together and were taken to another rescue. From there, we came to Paws and Claws. I’m outgoing and lovable. I adore being petted, and I like being held. I get excited about playtime! I’m an easy-going guy; I settled right in soon after we arrived, so I should do quite well when I go home. Howie and I make a great pair, and I think we’d like to be adopted together. You couldn’t ask for a more delightful cat, so take me home to be your Homer!Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax
