Quinoa

Quinoa and her three siblings were discovered near a grain terminal, which inspired her unique name. When she first arrived, her eyes were crusty and uncomfortable, and she was completely overwhelmed by people — everything in her little world felt scary. She’s still a timid kitten, but she’s slowly realizing that humans can be kind. When someone pets her softly, she’ll close her eyes like she’s thinking, “Okay… maybe this isn’t so bad.” She’s not the type to lean in or seek out affection yet — she’s a quiet, careful soul taking things at her own pace. Quinoa will do best in a calm, patient home that understands shy kittens and appreciates the small steps forward. With steady love, gentle routines, and time to feel safe, this sweet girl has every chance to grow into a wonderful companion. Meet Our Fabulous Foster-to-Adopt Kittens! Our young kittens are ready to go home now through our foster‑to‑adopt program. You take them home today, and the adoption is finalized after their spay/neuter surgery. Our rescue requires kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a home that already has a young, friendly cat. Kittens raised alone often struggle with social and behavioral development, while growing up with another cat helps them learn boundaries, burn energy, and become well‑adjusted adults. The adoption fee is $75 for a single cat/kitten and $125 for a pair. If you’re ready to bring home a pair of playful kittens—or add one to your friendly resident cat—we’d love to help you find the right match. Apply today at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to start your foster‑to‑adopt journey! If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application. Completing a questionnaire on any other website does not submit an application to our rescue, you must complete one on our website.
