Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Hopkins, Minnesota

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $175.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi, my name is Hootie! 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

I am from a local shelter. From my foster: Meet Unique! 🌟 He’s the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet and his love language is all about cuddles and companionship. Unique’s favorite thing in the world is curling up beside you for a cozy nap. If you're looking for a furry friend who will happily snuggle up next to you, he’s your guy. He also loves getting pets and will gladly soak up all the affection you have to offer. If you’re ready to give this gentle, loving kitty a forever home, Unique is sure to steal your heart! 💕🐾

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.

Hey there, I'm Tiki, and let me tell you, I'm quite the distinguished gentleman at 10 years young. Now, you might be curious how a cool cat like me ended up here, right? Well, let's just say I narrowly dodged a close call—I was almost out of lives because of some bathroom business. Yep, it's true, I'm a bit particular about my bathroom habits; because I'm a bigger boy, I need a bigger litter box and for you to keep it clean for me. Otherwise, I may go poopy on the side of the box. But hey, who can blame me? I just like to keep things clean and tidy. After all, would you want to step into your own mess? But here's the good news: the vet says I'm in tip-top shape, just need to shed a few pounds. And you know what? I'm making progress on that front. Slow and steady wins the race, they say. Now, about my furry roommates—I'll be honest, I'm not exactly their biggest fan. But can you blame me when they're always in my space? I'm more of a keep-to-myself kinda guy. So, if you respect my boundaries, I'll happily do the same. What I'm really dreaming of is a home where things move at a relaxed pace and it's nice and quiet. Somewhere I can kick back, relax, and enjoy the finer things in life. Sound like your place? If you're looking for a chill companion who knows how to appreciate the little things, then look no further. I'm Tiki, and I'm ready to bring some laid-back vibes into your life. Let's make some memories together, shall we? ##2010917##

Meet Lily, a resilient rescue cat who’s found her second chance at life after being saved from euthanasia. Lily is a beautiful survivor with a story of strength and recovery. Although she occasionally has a sensitive stomach, she’s thriving on a special diet. Lily also receives monthly injections to manage her arthritic hips, which help her stay comfortable and active. Lily's personality is as vibrant as her journey—she can be a bit moody, so she would thrive best in a home with older children and other pets who understand and respect her need for personal space. Despite her quirks, Lily is a loving and unique companion who brings a special kind of warmth to her forever home. If you’re ready to offer this sweet girl a space where she can shine, Lily might just be the perfect addition to your family. ##2010924##

Hi My name is Violet and I am a loving playful girl who is looking for her forever family. I am a girl who knows what she wants! I know when I want pets and cuddles and when I want my alone time. I have no problem climbing into your lap to get the love and attention I need but I am also very independent, curious, and playful. I have been told that my fur is as soft as a cloud and I take pride in maintaining it. I have a foster sibling at my home now and we have become fast friends. I do not require another feline friend however I think I would like to have one to play with. We love to wrestle and play and my foster mom says it brings smiles to everyones faces! There is this other four legged animal in the home called a dog.. I am still a little unsure of it however as long as it leaves me alone I leave it alone! I am looking for a family that can keep up with my spunky attitude and playful demeanor.
