Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rusty, aka Cyber, is a feisty Siamese Snowshoe nearly 4 years old who has been with his foster mom since mid-April.  Surrendered in November to the West Branch shelter, he was adopted a few days later and returned after a week. He remained in the shelter until he was adopted at the end of March, but unfortunately his new family was allergic, so he only got to stay two weeks.  Very cautious at first, he now hangs out and wants to be where the action is.  He is extremely curious, has bat-like hearing, and will get up from a nap to check out what you are doing so he doesn’t miss out.  He runs in front of you and then lays down to show off his belly.  He talks faintly - usually for food, much quieter than a typical Siamese, and purrs loudly all the time.  He is very picky on wet food, loves Friskies turkey only – no giblets, liver or vegetables, no pate, chicken or fish, and he likes Science Diet dry food. He spends hours each day watching the birds through the windows.  He loves cat treats, and is very aware of where they are kept, hence we had to move all treats to the refrigerator so he would not try to help himself in the middle of the night.  He eats treats one at a time out of your hand and wants to help with absolutely everything. He is extremely smart and always busy.  Content for only a few minutes being held or petted; he is not a snuggly cat.  We call him Kitty Loaf, and he will sleep on our lap or next to you in bed, with only limited petting, before it is time to play or move on.  He opens cupboards, drawers and closet doors, tips over waste baskets and carries toys throughout the house.  He pushes stuff out of his way when exploring or finding a cozy place to sleep.    At almost 15 lbs., he frequently knocks things over as he climbs and jumps as he surprisingly does not always fit where he thinks a petite cat should.  He was apparently too busy to pay close attention in manners class at his prior home.    He hates to have his nails clipped, thinks it is a game, so he bites.  After several different approaches, the vet does it.  After some time, he has learned to get along with my daughter’s older Yellow Lab who doesn’t bark, and who also doesn’t mind letting Rusty’s Alpha personality to be the one in charge.  Unsure how he may interact with other pets.  He has adjusted well, won our hearts, and we are very sad to see him re-homed.  Please consider adopting him only if you can offer him the “purrfect” forever home and will find his cat antics delightful.  Probably not the best match for a family with children.  If you have room in your home and heart for Rusty, please complete an application today. All MISR cats are neutered or spayed, current on rabies and distemper, have tested negative for FIV/FELV and all known health issues have been addressed. The adoption fee for Rusty is $250. Rusty is fostered in Canton, MI.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Novie, a 1-year-old Siamese Tabby mix. He is a beautiful boy with his stunning blue eyes He LOVES sitting in windows enjoying the fresh air and keeping an eye on all the squirrels, chipmunks and all mother nature’s creatures. Gazing outside is his happy place when he feels calm, especially at nighttime. He loves laying in the sun and his favorite thing in the world is a Chicken Delectable Squeeze Up He loves to follow us around the house and hasn’t been very vocal unless you shut the door and he’s not in the room with you or if its food related (very food motivated growing boy). Novie is not a huge cuddler, but he does enjoy pets from his human. He is not a fan of tummy rubs and will give you a little bunny back leg warning kicks if you forget and rub his belly. He doesn’t enjoy being picked up and is a little wiggly at times but he LOVES to be brushed! His favorite is a big, tall scratching tree! He is a huge fan and uses his tree daily, but he hasn’t shown an interest in the scratchers that are flat on the floor. He allows nail trims, although he’s not a huge fan of it, we are able to distract him with his favorite yummy treat. So far, he hasn’t shown an interest in jumping on the kitchen counters, but he is curious and stretches his paw up when he wants to see what is going on. Novie is full of energy and must be play with multiple times a day. He gets at least 30 minutes of play time in the morning and evening. He’s a young boy and young boys like to play! He is good with other cats and would do well with a playmate around the same age as him. If you have room in your home and heart for Novie, please complete an application today. All MISR cats are neutered or spayed, current on rabies and distemper, have tested negative for FIV/FELV and all known health issues have been addressed. The adoption fee for Novie is $250 and he is being fostered in Waterford Michigan.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Bagheera is a wonderful cat, he is incredibly friendly and loves to have windows to be able to see wild life outside. I recently had a promotion at work and my schedule has left me with less and less time at home and he deserves someone who is going to be home with him more often. He is very dog like, he loves to play with feathers and tunnels. Would do well with another animal in the house but not required.

Story
Georgie is a sweet, extremely shy cat who was born in a horse barn. She and her brother were adopted together as kittens and have lived in several homes with the same owner. They have lived with cats and dogs and do well. Due to a drastic change in the owners circumstances she can no longer take care of Georgie. She is up to date on all her vaccinations through August of 27.

Story
Figgy is a special cat! Her owner passed away in the fall and she was living in the house all alone for months. I picked her up to give her the attention she needed and find her a forever home. She is suspected to be around 6 years old and likely a Himalayan or Ragdoll, or a mix thereof. Figgy is the friendliest, most loving cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is very cuddly and would love you to pet her 24/7. She will happily sit on your lap while you work or flop over on her back next to you. She enjoys being brushed, and even belly rubs! She is all four-paw declawed. Figgy went to the vet, had quite a few mats shaved out, has a clean bill of health and updated vaccines, and is ready for her forever home. She will thrive in most households due to her easygoing nature, but will need someone committed to daily brushing/grooming to prevent further matting and a weight loss regimen.

Story
adoption fee is negotiable, we need to give her a loving home as soon as possible. We adopted her a few months ago, our apartment is 600 sqrft and we do not have enough space for her. She loves to chase her tail, is very active and curious. She loves meeting new people and is not afraid to rub against you or have you pet her. She loves cuddles and is a loving cat, we wish we can keep lele in our home but at this time we just do not have the space for her to live in comfortability. With adopting her you will get; scratching post, hiding den that she sleeps in with a towel to keep her warm and comfortable, automatic food and water stations, small bowls for wet food, a small placemat for the small bowls, a variety of toys, her documentations
