Tigger has the most mesmerizing eyes!
No, that's not a filter - they are that orange.
Tigger is scared and hides in his kennel.
He becomes a little bit braver every day, and we know he will thrive in a quiet home environment. Tigger previously lived with other cats, and might find some confidence in a new feline companion.
Looking for a sweet boy that needs a little extra TLC?
Stop on in and meet Tigger!

Will someone come adopt this guy already?!

🎄🐾 Our Giving Trees Are Up — in BOTH Buildings! 🐾🎄
The cats and dogs at the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter have been extra sweet this year, so they made their own Christmas wish lists! ✨
You can now find our Giving Trees in both the Cat Building and the Dog Building — each decorated with paw prints featuring their holiday wishes.

Stop in during adoption hours:
📅 Tues & Thurs: 5–7 PM
📅 Saturdays: 1–5 PM

Pick a paw print from either building, shop for the item(s), and when you’re ready to return your gift, please drop it off at the Dog Building under the Christmas tree in our lobby. 🎁🎄
Be sure to include the paw print with your wrapped gift so we know exactly which furry friend it’s for!

📣 Urgent message from the Cat Building:
The cats have been whispering (loudly) that Churu treats are in dangerously short supply… and they are VERY concerned since that’s their absolute favorite treat. 😿❤️
If you see a Churu paw print on the tree, just know you’ll be making many whiskered friends very, very happy!
Once your present arrives, we’ll find the lucky cat or dog to help unwrap it — and yes, we’ll post photos so you can enjoy the moment too! 📸💖

❤️ Thank you for making magic happen at HMAS this season! 🐾🎄

Update: ADOPTED!
Who needs puppy breath?!
Tahoe is 11 weeks old and ready to find his very own family!
He is a golden retriever/blue heeler.
Tahoe loves everyone he meets and does well with other dogs AND cats. He can be a playful puppy around cats, but just needs help remembering how to be nice. Tahoe is still working on potty training and that it's ok to sit in a kennel sometimes. He loves treats, especially stuffed kongs that help keep him busy.

Looking for the cutest baby?!?
Stop out today and bring home Tahoe!
We'll be open 1-5pm

🎄🐾 Come Visit Our Giving Tree! 🐾🎄
Our cats and dogs at the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter have been extra good this year… so they made their very own Christmas wish lists! 🎅✨
We’ve turned their wishes into adorable paw prints and hung them on our Giving Tree.
Stop in during adoption hours —
📅 Tuesdays & Thursdays: 5–7 PM
📅 Saturdays: 1–5 PM
Pick a paw print, shop for the item(s), and if you’d like, wrap your gift. Once it arrives, we’ll match it with a lucky cat or dog who will help open it — and yes, we’ll share pictures so you can see the joy you brought! 🎁💖
Hera, Knyght, and Tahoe posed so perfectly by the tree and fireplace… now let’s make all of their holidays bright, warm, and full of love. ✨🐶🐱
Stop in, spread some cheer, and help make magic happen this season!
❤️ From all of us at HMAS 🎄🐾

After 2 1/2 months in our intake area, Nash is finally available for adoption. This boy was very sick when he arrived, and we weren't sure he'd pull through. This sassy little lion clearly wasn't ready to give up!
Nash is estimated to be about 8 years old. He has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Nash has FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) and really needs to be in a home environment. The shelter is filled with lots of unknowns, and his immune system isn't as strong as a typical cat's.
He is a sweet boy that gives great head butts and makes excellent biscuits.
Nash would thrive in a quiet, adults only home with lots of sunny windows and soft cushions.
Looking for a distinguished little lion to enjoy your couch time with?

Stop out and meet Nash!
