My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Dorian! I am a sweet boy, who would just love being around you! After my naps, I'll usually meow to let you know I'm looking for you! Unlike many cats, nothing really bothers me. I am incredibly tolerant and like kids, even toddlers, especially if they'll wave a toy for me!! I'm playful and adventurous, but unlike an annoying kitten, I'll settle down for nice long naps, usually where I can see you! I love to spend my time looking out windows, exploring or cuddled up napping with my best bud, Crusty who I met while I was waiting for you to find us. We love to play together and clean and snuggle each other, but we've still got plenty of affection left for you! We hope to be adopted together as we think we're the perfect duo - I'm more playful and he's more affectionate! He's soft, I'm silky! I'm adventurous and outgoing, but I help bring out his brave side! And did we mention we look like the perfect swirl all cuddled up together with my dark fur and his light!

While Crusty is definitely a lap cat, I'm happier just being close to you. While we were in foster care, we also learned our kitty manners and we do a great job using our scratchers and not your furniture! Crusty and I have both been around kids of all ages and have allowed them all to hold us, pet us, and love on us without ever pulling out our claws or hissing!

Dorian's approximate date of birth is April of 2021. He and Crusty would love a human to share all their love with, so please come meet them!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption center is located at 7962 Clyde Park SW Byron Center. We are open by appointment only once an application has been submitted and approved.

'Our adoption facility houses so many kitties. The rest are in foster homes. If you want to meet a specific kitty, please inquire with us before attending an adoption event, so we can make every effort to have the requested kitties available!

For every kitten that is adopted another kitten will have a chance at a healthy happy life. Kitten season has been especially busy this year and we have been at capacity for some time now. Sadly this means people who want to help the cats and kittens in their area are being turned away because of limited resources.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of feral cats through education and action, following the humane methods of Trap-Neuter-Return, and thus treating every feral cat with the compassion and respect they deserve.

The Humane Answer: Trap-Neuter-Return
If you've ever seen cats in an alleyway eating out of dumpsters, or blending into the wild habitat of a wooded area, and wondered about their condition and how you could help them, read on...

Some of them, having been lost or abandoned, have found their way to a colony where they can survive amongst other felines. But the majority live out their lives as feral, or "wild", cats. Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction.

Communities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program.

Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.
