My story

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

Lionel was a neighborhood cat that became ill and one of the neighbors brought him to the shelter. The shelter thought he was old and wanted to euthanize him, so the neighbor decided to find him a rescue that would save him. We stepped in and took him to the vet and the vet said he was only three years old with a five-year period because he had a hard life of living outside (another reason not to have your cats outside!). He suffered greatly with malnutrition, unhealthy living conditions, and a very poor diet resulting in him contracting FIV, but he can still live a long and happy life with it! 



Lionel has since been to the vet and he’s starting to gain weight! We suggest no small children and someone who just wants a kitty cat to hang out with. He likes to hang out on the couch and have an occasional piece of donut with you and loves to snack on people food. He enjoys soft blankies and would enjoy a summer catio. He loves to bird watch and lounge on your lap, too!

More about this rescue

Michele's Rescue is a 501c3 non profit rescue as of Sept. 2009! I have been doing rescue as early as 1997 and have found my place in life with animals and animal rescue. Michele's Rescue is currently adopting kittens, cats, puppies, dogs and some small animals in need of placement of permanent homes. I help other rescues with overflow and fostering as well as transporting of animals from shelters to breed specific rescues. Michele's Rescue has several volunteers who help with adoptions at Petsmart due to the overpopulation in West Michigan. I am also proud to say that I am the founder of the West Michigan Spay and Neuter Clinic in Fruitport, Michigan!
