Domestic Long Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Brookings, South Dakota

She may be rocking an unexpected haircut right now, but don’t let the fresh shave fool you—this gorgeous 2.5-year-old black longhair is still every bit the glamorous queen she was born to be. Think of it as a temporary style choice: part lion cut, part “I’m starting over and thriving.” At 9 pounds, she’s the perfect size for lap lounging, shoulder supervising, and dramatically appearing in doorways like she owns the place.

This sweet girl is spayed, medically up to date, and overflowing with affection. She’s the kind of cat who believes personal space is more of a suggestion and that every human she meets is a potential best friend. Need a shadow? She’s got you covered. Need a cuddle buddy? Already climbing into position. Need someone to compliment your life choices with loving stares and happy purrs? She’s on it.

Her fur will grow back, but her wonderful personality is already in full bloom. If you’ve been searching for a cat who is equal parts hilarious, loving, and unapologetically charming, she’s ready to strut her way into your heart—bad haircut and all.

Meet and greet/adoption appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!!

Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, ($25-125 +TAX) special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances.

Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.
