Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Meep is 5 years old and her DOB is 4/29/2019. She is sweet and affectionate with humans, but needs to be in a home without other pets. We adopted her from Tri-County Humane Society in Saint Cloud, MN. She is litter box trained and enjoys laying in the sun and supervised outside time on our balcony.

I'm a transfer from a local impound in MN. From the foster: Hi, I'm Hootie! I bet you have never met a kitten as spunky as me! I love to do all your typical kitten things like running, jumping and pouncing! But you know what I love more? Wrestling! Once all my wrestling charades are over, I'm ready to snuggle and show you my soft side. I came into the rescue as a single kitten with no siblings, so I'm still learning to be a gentleman. Because I didn't have siblings to show me the ropes, I'm still a little mouthy and can play a bit rough with other cats and dogs, which means I might not be the best choice for small children. I would love to have a buddy to play with and continue to show me to be the best little kitty I can be! Medical Bio:Hello! Throughout my veterinary care at The Bond Between, it was discovered that I have a grade 4/6 heart murmur. I had a cardiologist and echocardiogram performed. The Vet Team recommends that I stay on my current medication and have special blood work done every 6 months to monitor for any signs of heart disease. My future adopter can choose to pursue further cardiac consultation/treatment per a primary veterinarian's recommendations at their own expense.

I am from Minnesota. From her foster: Uno is shy and seems to be a one person cat. She only spends time with my daughter. Uno doesn't like to be held or sit on your lap. We have to bring her in to get her nails clipped every 4-5 weeks. She won't allow us to do it at home. Uno would adapt to a smaller family without pets. She eats cat food, but would prefer people food. She was a stray before we received her November 2023

Hi My name is Compass ! I'm from Minnesota! From his foster: Meet Compass! Compass is a playful, loving, curious, goofy, timid cat. He loves pets. He especially loves pets while plopped in front of you using your foot as a pillow. Compass is great with other cats. If there can be any silver lining to his unfortunate upbringing (hoarding situation) it’s that he is really comfortable living with other cats. He lives with two cats currently, one that joined the home months later. Compass showed no signs of territorial aggression towards the new cat (no aggression whatsoever). He wasn’t instantly loving; he kept distance for a while, then tested the new cat’s desire to play. He now has two best buds — two and a half if you count the human. Why half, you might ask? Because his trust is HARD earned. I (the above-referenced human) am still working to earn his trust… but it is so worth with it! At this point, he needs to come to you when he wants pets (which is very often!). He does not like to be approached. He’ll run if you try approaching him or if he feels like he’s being cornered. He also seems to have safe zones. He wants all the pets in the living room, but he’s not sure about upstairs. With time, Compass could turn into a lap cat who isn’t afraid of new people/noises/etc., but a future family should not adopt Compass if they are counting on him to become this kind of cat. His future family needs to be ok with him as is he is today. Other considerations: Compass loooves toys. All toys are fun to him. He also loves spending time in cat trees (he favors the very top but will make an exception for a hammock/bowl). He loves looking out the window and tracking birds, bunnies and other passerby. Compass has been exposed to dogs a few times. He hides for the most part but will pop out to observe from a distance after a while. I think it’s highly likely he’ll do fine in a home with a cat-friendly dog, so long as he is given time to adjust. As stated before, Compass had a rough life before coming to The Bond Between. His future family needs to be patient and allow Compass all the space and time he needs to adjust. He hasn’t done this for awhile, but it is worth noting that Compass has previously shown fear-based aggression when he feels cornered or a person gets too close. He hisses and feigns scratching (he’ll strike with his paw but does not extend his nails). He should not live with young kids. I also feel a home with more than a couple people would not be best for him, given how timid he is and how long it takes him to adjust. While I believe Compass would adjust to a brand new environment and other cat(s), his friend Tape (also available for adoption) would struggle on her own. In an ideal world, a future family would want to adopt both Compass and Tape so they can live out their best lives together. It is not a requirement though. It is a requirement that he live with a cat(s). Compass has been great with the litter box since day 1! Compass does not know the name Compass. In his foster home, the most frequently used name is Moon or Moonie (no idea why). He does seem to respond to that name, but he’ll learn a new one! If Compass sounds like the kitty you’ve been looking for, please fill out an application. He’ll be… scared to meet you, but hopefully it’s a good match!

Hi! I'm from Minnesota! From her foster: Meet Tape (aka sweet girl/little girl/missy/and more). She is a petite, shy girl who appreciates a quiet space with many options for where she can go to be on her own when she feels like it. After 4+ months in her foster home, Tape has shown great progress (and promise!) towards being comfortable with people. Day by day, she gets a little closer to me or stays a little longer in my presence. If you’re real patient and still, she’ll sometimes come up to sniff/boop an extended hand. She’ll also get close to you while playing with string toys. All that said, Tape is still very much scared of people. Potential adopters need to know that she is currently not affectionate and nowhere near a “lap cat.” With time, she could get there, but a future family should not adopt Tape if they are counting on her to become affectionate. Her future family needs to be ok with her as is he is today. Living with another cat is essential for Tape. She needs the comfort and familiarity of a feline buddy. She currently lives with Compass (boy) and Ivy (girl), who are also available for adoption. Tape favors Compass, whom she’s been with the longest. Potential adopters should know: Tape had a rough start before coming to rescue (hoarding situation), which I believe is why she is so fearful. It took Tape several months in her foster home to fully adjust. At this time, she is still fearful of people. Cannot be approached. She is very curious though! She will closely watch you and how you and other cats interact with each other. She’ll walk over and stop just a couple feet away when you are petting another cat. She is very playful, which is so fun to see! She enjoys cat trees and looking out windows. We feel strongly that she should live in a quiet, stable environment of adults only who can give her all the space and time she needs. She likes having multiple litter boxes. If her home has multiple floors, preferably there is a litter box on each of them. This will also help prevent any accidents in the beginning when she may be too afraid to venture far from a hiding spot. In summary, Tape is shy. You will need to put in the work to win her over, and it will be SO rewarding when you do eventually earn her trust. If you think she is the one you have been looking for, please fill out an application. She will be… scared to meet you 😊 but let’s find out if you’re a match!

I am looking for a new foster now. If you can foster me please email fostersupport@thebondbetween.org Hi! I'm Bitcoin. I'm from Minnesota! I am the sweetest lady who is initially a little shy. I use my litterbox like a champion and have lived with other cats. I have not lived with young kid or dogs.

Hi! I'm Felix! I'm from Texas! From his current foster: Felix is a fun-loving tuxedo with a wisp of white on his nose. Felix always wants to be a part of the action. If something's happening and it doesn't involve Felix, just wait 10 seconds and that will change. He enjoys pets and often checks in with his person. He's not really a lap cat, but he will often hang out next to you for a few minutes before relocating close by. He checks in with his person in bed. Though he may not start the night in bed with you, he is usually laying next to you when you wake up. Felix enjoys when his person teleworks, and he has an uncanny ability to flop down on the keyboard regardless of where it is set. Felix loves all toys and often entertains himself with one of the many available toys. He has especially enjoyed wand toys and the laser pointer. Felix gets along well with his fellow foster kitten, Skedaddle. He was so happy to have a playmate closer to his age join him in his foster home and he quickly bonded with him. They chase each other all over the house, conduct impromptu wrestling matches, spill water bowls, and groom each other. Felix also quickly adjusted to being around the older resident cats in his foster home. He enjoys interacting with the friendliest resident cat and he has mostly earned the trust of the other resident cats. Despite a few warnings, he has even been found napping with the grumpiest resident cat, who always prefers his own space but hasn't left when he found Felix hanging out next to him. Felix talks a little bit, though he's not super chatty. He'll definitely let you know when he's tired of being sequestered in his own room at meal times. Felix has not been dog tested in his current foster home. Felix did OK with a 10-year old girl. He wasn't especially fond of being picked up, moved around, and herded, but he preferred to walk away instead of scratching or biting. Felix is a litterbox pro. Felix is a confident cat and should do great with an unfamiliar cat as long as it is open to his energy level. He would probably do OK as an only cat too, but he will require a lot of attention and play time.
