Our Pet List

Volunteers needed for the Luv A Pet Center in Roseville and Plymouth. Saturday and Sunday morning to help with cleaning of cages, feeding and socailizing with the cats. For more information please call 763-537-5599!

We have many cats and kittens available for adoption at the Petsmart stores in St. Louis Park, Roseville and Plymouth. You may visit them and adopt them through the Petsmart stores during their regular business hours. We are extremely full at this time and have lots of adorable kittens that need to find new homes. Please help us out by adopting one of these lovable little guys!!!!! Until we place some of these we are unable to take in any more cats or kittens that are living out in the streets and are in need of safe shelter. There are many many more out there that we have been having to turn away because we are to full and do not have the available space to house them. Do a good deed - Adopt a cat or kitten and give another mother with kittens safe shelter to raise her babies.

If you are thinking about giving a cat or kitten as a gift for birthdays or "just because" Gentle Touch is now offering gift certificates . This way the person can come into the shelter to pick out the cat or kitten of their choice. For more information on our gift certificates please call us at 763-537-5599

A New Approach to Animal Rescue

Hours: Wed,Thurs, Fri, 5PM to 8PM

Saturday Noon to 4PM

Our facility is strictly run by volunteers and our hours of operation may change depending on the availability of our volunteers. Please call us at 763-537-5599 to make sure our facility is open on the day you wish to visit.

The cats are living in style at our new facility. Just ask the cats and they will tell you they couldn't be happier!!! Our animals are free to roam the facility and they make themselves pretty much at home. They have couches, chairs, boxes- you name it - to sleep on. You will find cats lounging just about any place they please and that's okay with us!

At Gentle Touch we believe in pampering and spoiling our cats and we wouldn't have it any other way. After all, most of our cats have not had a very good start in life and deserve a warm, loving and comfortable place to lay their heads.

Genlte Touch animals are well socialized and "house ready" when you adopt them.

Our cats love company and would love to have you stop by for a visit. Our animals enjoy a visitor or two to sit and watch TV with . The coffee pot is always on and children are always welcome. Gentle Touch promotes responsible pet care and feels that children need to be taught early in life acceptable behavior towards animals by showing love and repect for all of nature's creatures to help overcome animal cruelty.

Please email us at szander1578@earthlink.net if you would like us to email you the pre-approval application and questionnaire or double click the link on the Adoption page of our website to download a copy.
