🐱 Friends, Meet Greg 🤝

Here’s what La Crescent Animal Rescue has to say about Greg and his sibs…

Introducing LAR’s Brady Bunch Kittens! These six little cuties were born at the shelter in September of this year. They were raised by the most wonderful mama who has already found her forever home with her foster family, now it’s her kittens’ turn to find their forever homes and families!

Preference will be given to adoption applications for pairs of kittens, unless a young one is already in the home. Adopting kittens together at this age greatly increases their success in adapting to a new home. The Brady Bunch kittens are all darling, sweet, playful, cute and super well acclimated to people and kitties having spent their whole lives thus far with their litter mates, foster family, and volunteers at LAR.

We hope you will come meet the Brady Bunch soon to pick out your favorites and hopefully have them home for the holidays! Our open hours are Wednesdays 4pm-7pm and Saturdays 10am-1pm. If you’d like to set up an appointment outside of our open hours please contact us @ 507-895-2066.
