Looking to adopt a pet? Here are 7 charming cats to adopt now in Minneapolis

Carl is an adorable male domestic shorthair and tabby mix being cared for at Puppy Rescue of Minnesota.

Carl is happy to keep company with dogs and cats. He is already neutered, and he has had all his shots. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

Notes from Carl's caretakers:

Carl is a big boy! He was scared and shut down in the shelter. After months of decompressing in his own quiet room in a foster home, he has turned into a complete love! All he wants is to be petted and cuddle up next to you on the couch. He quickly took over the home and doesn't let any of the resident pets get to him. He lives peacefully with 3 dogs and 3 other cats. He has zero food aggression and occasionally will play with toys. Carl will need a home that understands he will need some time to adjust to a new living environment. But once he's comfortable with you, he will follow you everywhere! He is a fabulous cat that will make a great addition to any home!

Nick is a sweet male tabby cat being cared for at Minnesota Spay/Neuter Project.

Nick's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He's already house-trained. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he is neutered.

Here's what Nick's friends at Minnesota Spay/Neuter Project think of him:

Nick is a confident and energetic cat and gets very excited when it's meal time. He runs around in circles meowing and will dive into the food as you're putting it down. He also has a tendency to get into recycling or anything interesting to him. When he chills out, he is a very affectionate and charming cat. He is having some difficulty adjusting to other cats here in foster care, and would fit in best in a home with only one cat.

Dexter is a lovable male tabby and Maine coon mix currently residing at Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota.

Dexter will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. He will need a home free of other cats, dogs and children. He's neutered and vaccinated. Fear not: He is already house-trained.

From Dexter's current caretaker:

Dexter is a 4 year old Maine Coon mix looking for his forever home! Dexter is a handsome, medium-sized, long-haired tabby. He is affectionate, but can come off as aggressive when he feels threatened, particularly by other cats and dogs. For this reason, he's likely best off as the only pet in your home.
