He's still here 💔
This handsome senior buff tabby has already had to say goodbye to two people he loved. Twice, he's lost the only home he knew because of the passing of his humans. And now, instead of a cozy lap or sunny windowsill, Fudge finds himself alone... in a shelter kennel.

At his age, that's a hard thing to understand.

Fudge isn't asking for much. He just wants someone to love again.

He has hyperthyroidism, but it's wonderfully easy to manage—no pills, no daily wrestling matches. His condition is controlled simply by eating a special prescription food that costs about $46 a month.

In return? You'll get a sweet, cuddly companion who still has so much love left to give.

No senior cat should spend their golden years wondering why they're alone. Fudge has already endured more heartbreak than any cat should. Help us make sure he never has to lose his family again.

If you have room in your heart and home for a gentle soul who deserves one final happily ever after, please come meet Fudge. ❤️🐾

This month, we’re excited to recognize Abby and the compassion, patience, and creativity she brings to the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter! Abby has a special gift for giving even our shyest and most fearful cats the time they need to learn that people can be trusted. Whether she’s quietly sitting with an animal, helping with events, or lending a hand wherever she’s needed, Abby is always willing to help. Thank you, Abby, for the time, kindness, and heart you give to our animals and our shelter!

Help us show Abby some love in the comments

🚨 HUSKY WARNING 🚨

Before adopting Oakley, please be aware of the following:

💧 He prefers his water served fresh... from your kitchen sink.
❄️ Snow? YES. The more, the better.
🪮 Brushing? He has reviewed your request and respectfully declines.

Oakley is everything you love about huskies rolled into one fluffy package: goofy, dramatic, full of opinions, and guaranteed to keep you laughing. He's got enough personality for an entire sled team and isn't afraid to let you know exactly what he thinks.

Life with Oakley won't always be quiet or fur-free—but it will be entertaining. IYKYK

If you're looking for a dog with character, comedy, and just the right amount of chaos, Oakley is waiting to meet you! 🐺❤️
