Hi, my name is Maggie! I am a shy cat looking for a patient owner who is willing to give me time to adjust and open up in my new home. Once I get comfortable I will come out of my shell and start to show more of my true personality. I can be very curious, affectionate, and playful once I am feeling more confident with the people I meet! I would love a home with kids over 12, and no cats or dogs to be the best version of myself. If you are interested in setting up a meeting, please fill out an adoption survey online or in the shelter.

Story
Hi, my name is Remmy! I am a cat on the go, all the time! Because I am such an active and playful cat I have to make sure that any adopter understands that I will need to play - more than the average kitty! I'll be your little supervisor! When we are not playing, I would love to sit next to you and supervise your computer work or tv show. When you are cooking, I'll come rub on your legs and supervise to make sure you are not dropping food. When you are not home, I'll happily supervise the critters outside the window! I enjoy soft chin and cheek scratches, and might bless you with a lap sit, but I work hard on my luxurious coat and prefer you not mess it up with lots of petting! I will do best in a cat savvy home where they can listen to my cues when I need some extra space to relax. I love to play, but I can be sensitive when it gets to be too much, so I may do best in a home without young children. Other cats can cause me stress, so I'd also like to be the only cat in your home. Remmy is currently living in one of our wonderful foster homes. Adopting from foster is easy! Please email adoptions@hshv.org or call (734) 662-5585 to arrange a meeting today!"Hi my name is Remmy. I'm 6 years old and I like rubbing on legs. I'd like my own space. I don't like being pet too much. I'm looking for a home without kids and I would LOVE lots of litter boxes. I'm a calm sort of girl and I'm looking forward toadoption." - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary "Hi, my name is Remmy. I am a cute striped cat. I am a meowlous cat! I am a pretty cat. I purr when I am happy and I like to rub your legs. I am six years old. When I get adopted I need lots of litter boxes. I will keep your lap warm because I like to sit on your lap. I am a purrfect cat so please adopt me." - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary

Story
Hi, my name is Snowfield! I am a sweet and social cat looking for an owner who is willing to let me lay in their lap all day. Once I get comfortable I will be looking for love, pets, playtime/enrichment toys, and lots of yummy food! I could do well living in a variety of households, but I hope you like a catty cat! I would love to be the spotlight of your life, and get all the attention to myself!Foster Parent Comments: "Snowfield is an active, affectionate cat who loves being where the action is. In the important cat ways, he's a perfect, dignified gentleman--doesn't scratch on furniture, 100% use of the litter box, doesn't try to sneak outside, etc.. But he's also a giant goof who makes us laugh every day with something new. Give this guy a few crinkle toys, an occasional running faucet, and a window to watch squirrels or cars go by, and he'll be your best friend waiting at the door when you come home." Snowfield tested positive for the Feline leukemia virus (or FeLV). With good nutrition and routine wellness care, a healthy cat that is FeLV positive can live a long, happy life. Please call or come in to find out more. Snowfield am currently living in a foster home, if you are interested in setting up a meeting, please fill out an adoption survey online and call the shelter at 734-662-5585. He hopes to meet you soon!"Hi I'm Snowfield, I'm 1 year old and I'm a calm sort of guy. I like playing with toysand chatting. I don't like loud noises. I am looking for a home without little kids and willing to learn about FeLV+. I am super fluffy and cuddly. I'd like someone to adopt me soon." - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary"I like snowfield because he is the same color as the snow. snowfield isfluffy and cute and is a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious cat!!!!!! I love Snowfield and he is a male cat. He likes to make muffins. You should give him a good home. the end!!" - written by a 2nd grader at Lakewood Elementary

Story
Tigen has had a very rough start in life. He is a BIG boy, and is three years old. Tigen was a stray looking for a home and he was taken into a lady's home. Her animals did not accept him into their community. He's a large beautiful playful boy. So next he went to be fostered in a home with no other pets and that is the best fit for him, to be the only pet. To be his large and in charge of the household. He's about 15 pounds or more, he could use a little exercise so a home with a staircase would be nice or a catio or enclosed patio he would adore. We are looking for a non-smoking home. We are looking for an adopter who wants a new best friend. He needs love and compassion of a cat lover who is laid back and has a quiet home. He's slow to warm up at first but then he will relax once he realizes he's safe and sound. He's probably best in a home that is quiet, has a relaxing view of the world outside in the burbs or country home with relaxing views.

Story
Ryker and his sister Tasha are gorgeous babies and great examples or a tabby cat. Ryker has a plush coat and has beautiful stripes. They came to us from a feral mom outside with a litter of kittens. They were being fed by a nice couple who got two of the litter to come inside and they have been inside for many months now. Ryker likes his sister but because they are in a small room he gets the zoomies and is a bit much for her at times. They could be adopted together. Probably should be adopted together. Once they get into a home of their own where they have plenty of room to move about easily this pestering of Riker to Tasha will slow down considerably. He, they, will be a great companion for someone without little kids. They will sit in your lap and enjoy being petted. A home with a enclosed porch or catio would be amazing for them, (him).

Story
Vivica was a stray roaming the streets of Birmingham, but she's vocal and obviously was a house kitty before being put out on the streets. Now she's been rescued and vetted by a nice lady who says she's great in the house. Getting along with the other kitties and two dogs in the house. She's pleasant and will warm up in a calm home where there are calm views from the windows. So she'd be best in a HOUSE or condo facing woods or a pond. She might be okay in a home with a cat friendly dog or a male kitty who is super laid back. Or she'd be okay with a companion who's a calm adult human who is pretty settled in their home and life. She's fairly young as well, so she's got many years ahead of her. For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Luka and his only brother Joahna are sweet little furballs right now. They are the only surviving babies of their young mother Karma. He had two more siblings born two days later, of which only one survived and that is Joahna. Karma was not fed well when she and her sisters and mother were outside pregnant. Karma could not make milk for her kittens. We had to bottle feed her babies for a few days. Luckily Karma's mother, Serenity, had six kittens five days later and was able to feed Karma's babies and eventually with extra food we were giving Karma she was able to have enough to nurse just one of the babies as well. Serenity and Karma are together and mothering all those babies. Luka is a cutie, he's the only orange tabby of the bunch. Joahna is a dark classic tabby with swirls instead of stripes and he's a cutie poo. We are looking for non smoking homes for them. They are a pair, they would be okay with older children, with cat friendly dogs and with a older female kitty in the home. Or by themselves.

Story
A year and a half ago, I found him at the animal shelter, a tiny bundle of fur with eyes that seemed to speak volumes. From the moment we locked eyes, I knew he was meant to be mine. He quickly became more than just a pet; he became my confidant, my source of joy on the toughest days. But fate, it seems, had other plans. After six months together, my body began to betray me with allergies so severe that even the briefest touch left me gasping for air. The pain of this realization was eclipsed only by the sorrow in his eyes when I could no longer hold him close or chase after him in playful bouts. It's a cruel irony that the very thing that brought us together now threatens to tear us apart. And so, with a heavy heart and tears streaming down my cheeks, I search for a new home for him, one where his playful spirit will be cherished, and where allergies won't stand in the way of the love he deserves.
