Calico kittens & cats in Walker, Michigan

Mawey is a super sweet cat and loves affection from time to time but is also very independent. She is apprehensive when meeting new pets and it may take her a few days to a week to get used to them but she will adapt. She has had a few pet roommates before. She gets along super well with men and women and has no problem being around children. She’s got a little feisty playful side to her but she mostly loves to lay around and eat!

Sweet Pea is a spayed senior cat (~15yo) looking for a quiet, loving home for the next chapter of her life. She has been part of my parents’ family for many years and was especially bonded with my father, who recently passed. My elderly mother is moving soon and unfortunately cannot take Sweet Pea with her. Sweet Pea has lived as an indoor/outdoor cat. As she has gotten older, she spends more time indoors, especially in winter. She uses a litter box inside, although she is accustomed to outdoor access and may need some patience transitioning to an indoor-only home. She is very laid-back and generally avoids conflict. She has lived with another cat and simply kept her distance when the other cat was territorial. We have contacted several local rescues, but unfortunately none have been able to take her. Our goal is to find someone who will give this sweet senior cat a safe, peaceful home where she can be comfortable and cared for.

I picked up Fern off a farm in Allendale 6 years ago, along with her sister Ivy. My goal was to give cats a nice, comfortable home to live in as I grew up on a farm myself and saw a lot of outdoor cats get sick and live out in the cold. Fast forward to now and we have a toddler and a business and our cats have been sidelined. We’d love to see them both go to a home together where they can play and relax under some more attention!

Ivy is such a sweet cat, along with her sister Fern they make and entertaining and cuddly combination. We are hoping to find a home for them to go together, they’re both healthy, lovable and sweet!

Meet Mew! When Mew first came to us as a stray, we were concerned with her condition. She came in with infected eyes and wounds over her face (see photo). After she got some love, care, and medications, she improved in just a few days!  Mew does need a special home. She tested positive for FIV which stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. This means she will have a weakened immune system which can lead her to be more prone to infections. Despite this, she can still live a full and happy life! FIV is transmitted to other cats via bite wounds. While we do not think Mew would bite another cat, this isn't something we can control and we want to keep everyone protected. Therefore, we will not adopt her out to a home that has cats in the home *unless* if they are also FIV positive. She can go to a home with dogs as FIV cannot be transmitted to dogs.  We believe Mew is about 8 weeks old. She is beautiful, sweet and full of spunk! She is spayed, current on vaccines, and has a negative fecal test (negative for all parasites).  The $125.00 adoption fee ( payable by cash or check only ) includes: spay/neuter; vaccinations; microchip; fecal testing w/ giardia, flea prevention, and FIV/FeLV testing.  Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Cats for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application.  Please note: while we welcome out of state applications, we do not ship our animals and require adopters to come to Holland to finalize any adoption.

We have bonded calico sisters named Bean and Sprout (they’re very responsive to their names), they’re about 4 and are very friendly to people but they fight with the three other cats we have. They were bottle fed as kittens so they enjoy being held and fall asleep in your arms if you let them. They always greet us at the door and are so sweet. The only behavior issues we’ve seen from them are from not getting along with the other cats the last year since we downsized our home.

Meet Shadow, an 8-year-old brown tabby who has a sweet and affectionate side! Shadow enjoys exploring her room and is often happy to come over and greet visitors with gentle head bumps. She loves attention, purrs, and making biscuits, and she’s always interested when a tasty treat is involved. Shadow can become overstimulated easily, especially with petting and physical touch. We’re not sure yet if this is something she experiences outside of the shelter or if the shelter environment is contributing to it, so her future family will want to pay close attention to her body language and keep petting sessions short. She’ll also benefit from specialized enrichment that gives her other ways to engage and have fun without relying on physical touch. Shadow may prefer being the only cat in the home, but she has previously done well with children of various ages and could potentially join a family with kids again. We don’t have any history of her living with dogs, so slow and thoughtful introductions would be recommended if she joins a home with canine companions. Shadow has plenty of love to give, and she’s looking for someone who will take the time to understand her signals, respect her boundaries, and appreciate all the sweet moments she has to offer.

Gigi spends her day exactly how she wants to. She loves having a routine and will let you know if you are late for feedings by meowing, bumping into your legs, swatting the air near you, or simply giving you her stare of death. She does not like to be picked up and will let you know by loudly yelling, this will likely not change. She enjoys sleeping in her bed, but that is HER space. She does not want pets while she is sleeping and cozy. She will occasionally snuggle in a pile under blankets. She also does not want to be pet while she is there. She enjoys to self-play with sparkly pompom balls but does not want to engage in play with you, these are her toys, not yours. Despite not wanting a lot of things, she actually does really love pets and snuggling. But strictly on her terms. Most of the time if you go in her room and sit down, she insists on sitting in your lap. Do not be fooled, this is not an invitation for a hug, you are simply furniture. While she is in your lap she will purr and make biscuits and you CAN pet her here. But don't get too crazy because she may bite you. (It's really just a nibble.) Gigi does not enjoy fast movements, loud noises, or cat carriers. Although, her office mate has been doing really good work on desensitization to carriers and she will go in for a treat! Gigi has a lot of trust issues, but once you earn her trust, it is magical. Gigi's officemate has also been working on her tolerance to children by sacrificing her own child. We have found that if the child is quiet and respectful of Gigi's boundaries, she actually seems to enjoy them! Said child has helped with feeding her and will go in for visits and has been awarded the badge of "Gigi snuggler". Gigi is an amazing cat, but she has been through a lot. If you're looking to adopt a lovable grump, she is the lady for you! Gigi's adoption fee has been sponsored by BathWorks of Michigan!

Flo is a calico cutie. She is 6 years old (born 5/13/2020) and she is looking for a new home as an only cat where she won’t get stressed and intimidated by other cats as she was in her first home. We don’t know for certain but she may do okay with a laid-back, gentle dog as there was one in her original foster home that she didn’t seem to be bothered by but that was about three years ago. This very sweet girl will most likely hide initially when she geos to a new home until she feels safe but once she is comfortable, she will happily roll over for belly rubs and she loves giving you head bumps. At vet appointments, she is a staff favorite because of how loving and sweet she is. She has become quite a bit of a talker and she enjoys sleeping at the end of the bed each night and likes to sit next to her person when they are reading or relaxing. She will occasionally nip her person for no obvious reason so an experienced cat person will be a good fit for her. She will appreciate a cat tree with a scratching post and a scratch pad. Flo likes to play fetch with small toys like a dog and she is a pro at chasing a laser light. She will do best in a quiet home with a family who understands that she will need some adjustment time to feel safe and comfortable. Even in her most scared moments, she is a sweet cat who enjoys being petted and getting attention. Are you willing to share a life full of play, love and companionship with this cutie?
