About Baxter

Baxter is a quiet adult cat with striking black and white coloring and a gentle presence. She’s shy and prefers to keep her distance from people, but you’ll find her warmth in the way she dotes on her best friend Dorian and fosters kittens who need guidance. Most days, Baxter can be found playing chase with Dorian or teaching younger cats the basics of feline life. Baxter gets along easily with other cats and serves as a steady, nurturing figure in her foster home. Trust takes time for Baxter—after five years in care, she’s shown slow but steady progress with her foster family, but remains hesitant to engage closely with people. She is deeply bonded to Dorian, and the two must be adopted together. Their friendship reveals Baxter’s capacity for affection, just on her own terms. If you’re seeking a serene pair who understand each other's company, and you respect Baxter’s need for patience and space, she may finally find her forever home with you. Baxter is in foster care in Inver Grove Heights, MN. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
