Looking to adopt a pet? Here are 7 furry felines to adopt now in MinneapolisPhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some lovable kitties near you? There are dozens of endearing cats up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Minneapolis.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of cats currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Here's what her friends think of her:

Gia is an active, playful, curious and overall sweet cat looking for her forever home. Her favorite activity is to play fetch, but when you get tired of playing, she is happy to play on her own, chasing the crinkle ball for quite awhile!

Here's what his friends think of him:

Always friendly, Xavier needs no time to warm up to you. He loves to run around the house, and to get his friend Opal to play with him. If nobody told you, you would never know that he is partially blind in his left eye from the cataracts he has.

Marshmallow knows her way around the land of sweets in the cat kingdom, from kitty treats to food to tuna. The way to her heart is through her stomach. She can be skittish and scared, but treats are the love language she is fluent in.
