Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Lansing, Michigan

Meet Raggedy Ann! This sweet girl came to SbZ emaciated (body score 1/9), FIV+, tail so matted with poop it couldn’t be found at first, severe eye injury, and a raging skin infection, from an animal control shelter a few counties north. But look at her now! All beautiful, be it a little raggedy, calico fluffy loveliness! 🌟 Despite what she’s been through, Raggedy Ann is the sweetest thing. If you talk to her, she makes biscuits and looks like she’s tap dancing! With her little one-eyed pirate look (she’s missing a bit of an ear too), makes you just want to wrap her up in a blanket and snuggle her. If you did want to do that, you’d need some of those squeezable treats, like Churus, to convince her to stay on your lap. She doesn’t mind being picked up but she’s still working on hanging out in a lap. 😻 Raggedy Ann is looking for a quiet home where she can continue to build her confidence, with patient people who will let her adjust at her own pace. She loves other cats so it’d be great if you have a feline friend for her. 🐾 She also really likes her water fountain, chasing her cat dancer toy, eating treats right out of your hand, and being brushed. 🐈‍⬛ So, who is ready to bring home this little pint-sized pirate wrapped in gorgeous calico floof? 🏡 Email adoptions@savedbyzade.com today! 📧

THIS RED BOX NEEDS A HOME by Bubbies This red box is up for adoption. It is my best friend. My name is Bubbies and I am former outdoor cat. A 100% outdoor don’t-come-near-me kinda cat. One day I got hungry and walked into a metal cage and I thought, oh no—THIS IS THE BIG ONE. The last day of Life #7. It turned out it wasn’t the last day at all. It was the first day of my new beginning with my best friend, the red box. The red box didn’t exist then. There was just a metal kennel and food and warmth. And ladies that would walk by who petted my head. It was scary and yet… not entirely terrible. One day, one of these ladies wrapped me in a blanket and put me into a carrier. When she finally opened the door, I was in a new room with new smells. BIG space. It felt too big. For two days, I hid under the dresser and didn’t even come out to eat. The lady brought food right to me under the dresser. Then, the red box appeared. High up on a shelf. Blanket inside. Juuuust big enough. Just small enough. Safety. It turns out, it was just looking for someone to sit in it and keep it company. It needed me. The red box is good at its job, too. It makes the world feel smaller and quieter. Sometimes, eepy kittens crawl into it at night (with me) when they miss their mommy. The box doesn’t mind. The box is gentle and sweet like that, even when scared. It never bites or hisses or growls or swats. I am the red box's emotional support kitty now. And it is my very best friend. I promised I would try to find it a quiet home. No kids. No chaos. After all, it startles easily. It prefers soft voices and predictable footsteps. Other cats are okay, especially the calm, snuggly kind. When the box first moved into the foster room, it was so overwhelmed it started pulling its own threads out. Grooming and grooming and grooming because repetition feels safe when everything else is scary. The lady says endorphins are involved. The box says it just needed something it could control. It feels better now and doesn’t do that anymore. But transitions are hard. I reassured it that I would be here every step of the way. The lady says the box can come with its blanket too, wherever it goes. And of course, I will come with it because it needs me. She says one day, the box might be brave enough to even sit on a couch, or a lap. The box finds that idea both magical and mildly alarming. The box needs a person who understands that sometimes bravery starts at night when everything else is sleeping. That patience isn’t optional. If you are the kind of human who can love something gentle and terrified at the same time, the red box is ready to white knuckle this new chapter. I will do my best to offer it the support it needs, and will sit in it as often as it needs me to. If you would like to adopt the red box (and its contents), please email our adoption team at adoptions@savedbyzade.com. Please put in the subject line: "Bubbies' Red Box."

Meet Scruffy! He is a 6-year-old longhaired black cat with a gentle soul who was originally found as a stray and later lived with his finder for a period of time. Big changes can be overwhelming for him, and he’s been understandably nervous adjusting to new spaces. To help set him up for success, adopters should plan to start Scruffy in a single, quiet room where he can feel safe as he begins to settle in. He may seek out very good hiding spots at first, sometimes ones that are hard to find, as he takes time to decompress.Scruffy will need a patient, calm household where everyone understands that trust takes time. Spending time with him each day—sitting quietly, offering gentle interaction, and letting him approach on his own terms—will be important for building a strong bond. He may struggle in a busy or noisy home, and it’s currently unknown how he would do with children given his fear levels. With slow, thoughtful introductions, Scruffy may do well with other cats. In the right environment, with patience and consistency, he has the potential to blossom into a devoted companion.He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

While he may need a little time to get to know his new family and settle in, his gentle, loving nature shines through, and once he’s comfortable, he’ll be your loyal, purring shadow.If you’re looking for a wise, affectionate, food-loving friend to fill your home with love (and the occasional soft meow), Johnny is your perfect match!He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.
