Story
Need a little more happiness? Maybe a few more smiles? How 'bout a whole lotta extra laughter? If any of those are true, then you need to adopt eight-month-old Bean. She is an exuberant ray of sunshine who is an on-the-go kind of gal. Bean is one of our most fun kitties! She LOVES enrichment activities! You can always count on Bean to reach her paws out through her cage to get your attention. She flies high after toys-on-strings and has a blast trying to catch them. We know she'll bring up the energy level in any household because she brings ours up every day! Bean would love to be the only kitty in her new home and asks that kiddos are about 10ish and older. Even though she is a high-energy sweetheart, a home without a lot of commotion would suit her best! Bean is spayed and is available for adoption!

Story
You don't often hear of a cat surviving after being hit by a car. Well, Spot did. Although, now she is paralyzed and has very little function in her back legs. (Sidenote! Email us at pets@michianapets.org to request an application. Spot is in a foster home!) We were not sure if Spot was going to be able to make it through her trauma. But each day, she was getting stronger, healing more and was proving to be the absolute sweetest and most loving girl. We were so grateful to be able to give her a second chance. Spot needed a foster home because the kennel-life was not a fit for her. Her foster family is amazing and they created a bag that goes around her waist so she can "walk" around without getting abrasions and wounds on her back legs. Spot was not remotely interested in a wheelchair; her little drag-bag allows her to be just as mobile and she is totally succeeding! Here is a note from her foster mom: "Spot is a one-year-old spayed bundle of love and curiosity. Spot is an incredibly affectionate girl who wants nothing more than to be by your side (or better yet, in your lap). She will happily curl up for hours, purring and chatting away with her soft, sweet meows. She truly loves to “talk.” Spot’s favorite toys are anything with feathers, and she’s wonderful with dogs of all sizes. Despite losing the use of her back legs, Spot hasn’t lost her joyful spirit or her zest for life. She has adapted beautifully and gets around with ease, always eager to explore, cuddle, and make friends. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your home with love, warmth, and a little chatter, Spot is your girl. She is full of curiosity, joy, and nonstop purrs. Please adopt the happiest little survivor. She is ready to roll right into your heart." -Spot's foster mom. Her adopter will need to be able to express her bladder but please don't let that deter you! Many of us had no idea how to until we were taught and now it is so easy! We can teach you, too! Of course, Spot is the perfect girl so she makes everything easy on us.

Story
Have you EVER seen a cuter face? Not only is Ruby's face simply precious but her personality is endearingly heart-melting. She chirps, she nuzzles, she purrs, she loves. Ruby will see you come into the breakroom (that's currently where she is living) and she comes right over and will solicit affection. If you have time to sit down and hang with her for a bit, you are best friends by the time you have to go on your way. She asks that you allow her to come to you and once she knows you're a friend, she pours out all of her affection and cuddles! So, please be patient with our girl. Ruby shines brightest when she is around calmness. We would love for her new home to be a quiet one where she can relax and feel safe. The more acclimated Ruby becomes, the more love she continues to share with us! She is about six-and-a-half years old and is spayed. Ruby is loving living in our breakroom so please ask to see her when you get to the shelter.

This beauty! Meet Sally! Her chitter-chatter is the sweetest sound and her precious face melts our hearts. She came from a house with quite a few other kitty friends so if you have a resident kitty who needs a new companion, come meet Sally! Sally is our gorgeous orange tabby girl and we're looking for a quiet, introverted, nice person to adopt her because she is a quiet, introverted, nice cat but sure has a great personality! Sally likes her surroundings to be calm and relaxed. Sally sometimes likes to spend her time with people and other times is content to hang on her own. She's what we call an actively independent gal! Playing with toys and eating treats are her two favorite things ever! She is a little younger than four years old and is spayed!

Story
Hi new friends! My name is Wednesday! The humans tell me all the time how pretty I am. I love when they say that because I think I am pretty, too! When I am feeling affectionate, I am the nicest girl there is. Come hang out with me at my kennel; my purrs, nuzzles and cuddles are never-ending! Speaking of hanging out at my kennel, that is where you will see the real me. When I am out of my kennel and there is a lot going on, it is overwhelming to me. So, a quiet home where there isn't a lot of commotion will be comforting to me. Playing with toys and being petted when I'm asking for love are two things I really love. I can't decide which is my favorite because they are both very different but still great! I like to be lazy and take the best cat naps ever most days. I also am a chatty girl and like to talk. I would love to find a cat-savvy adopter who allows me to have my "tortitude" every now and then. I'm basically looking for someone to accept me as I am and not want me to be a kitty that I am not...I will love you for you...that I promise. I'd love a home where I can be the only kitty. I'm sure I will fit perfectly into your heart and home. I am about three and a half years old and I'm spayed. Please ask to see me. Love, Wednesday.

Story
Pixie's purrs are those purrs that are "out-of-this-world magically soothing" purrs. She loves to snuggle and believes that she is a lap cat so imagine all the relaxing cuddle sessions you can have with her. Pixie prefers a quiet home setting but let us tell you...she asks for just a minute or two to get to know you and then she is head-bonking for affection and rolling over and air-biscuiting! Being brushed is a favorite activity of hers! She also loves being petted and doted on. At just around 19 pounds, Pixie will highly benefit from an adopter who will help her get down to a healthy weight at a healthy pace. She asks for no dogs in her new home and that kiddos are older, maybe 9ish and up. Pixie is about six years old and she is spayed. Please ask to see her when you arrive at MHS. She is the most perfect princess. And! She has a sponsored adoption fee to an approve applicant!
