Story
Fannie May was rescued during a TNR project in Detroit.  She is a very pretty young lady who is still rather shy with new people and is still learning to trust.  She had a rough start coming from living outside with her siblings and mom, and she would thrive best in a home where she can feel safe and secure. A passive and low key young lady, she likes some play time but won’t demand much of your time.  She would love to be adopted by a patient carer who can give her the individual attention and love that she truly needs.  She would like to be adopted alongside her sibling Ozzie, but she gets along with all other cats as they give her confidence.  She would also do equally well as an only cat with someone who can give her all the lovings.  If you have a little patience and would enjoy bringing out this sweet girl’s gentle personality, Fannie May is waiting for you! ##2543127##

Story
Meet Chef  — A Gentle Young Lad with Old Soul Looking for a Patient, Loving Home.  Chef was found in West Village at a restaurant and is a quiet, tender-hearted kitty with a calm, thoughtful presence. He’s the kind of cat who prefers to observe first, gently assessing his surroundings before deciding it’s safe to let his guard down. Once he does, you’ll discover a deeply affectionate companion who thrives on consistency, kindness, and trust. In the home, Chef is wonderfully well-mannered. He’s respectful of his space (and yours), never disruptive, and keeps a peaceful, Zen-like energy throughout the house. He enjoys playtime on his own terms, is surprisingly clever, and may even outsmart you when treats are involved. When the day winds down, Chef truly shines as the perfect couch potato—especially if sports or comedy stand-up are on. He’s an excellent TV companion. Chef is the type of cat who will greet you when you come through the door and happily soak up head and chin scratches. At bedtime, he sleeps faithfully next to his foster every night, nestled near the pillows—close, but just how he prefers it. With new people, Chef needs time. He may take a few hours (or more) to feel comfortable, and he won’t rush introductions. Once he realizes someone means no harm, he will quietly approach and show his sweet nature. Because of this, Chef can be easily overlooked during quick meet-and-greets—but in a calm, patient home, his personality truly blossoms. Chef eats well, stays well-hydrated, adores treats, and has never shown an ounce of aggression. He’s best described as a “Zen cat” with an old-soul aura—gentle, steady, and deeply loyal once trust is earned. Chef is looking for an adopter who understands that the best relationships take time—and that the reward is a devoted, peaceful companion who will choose you every day. Apply to meet this gentleman today! ##2316589##

Story
Pippa’s story began on E. Jefferson near Chalmers in Detroit, where a kind driver spotted her crossing the street with another cat. When the finder pulled over, Pippa came right up—filthy, but immediately friendly and clearly looking for help. After a bath and a vet visit (no microchip), it became clear that Pippa was likely a dumped pet who desperately wants to be indoors with people. Now safe and waiting for her forever home, Pippa is a loving lap cat who adores attention and snuggles. She’s not very playful, but she’ll happily keep you company and soak up all the affection you can give. Pippa would thrive as your one-and-only or with one or two calm, well-behaved feline friends. Pippa is FIV+, which simply means she has a weakened immune system. Cats with FIV can live long, healthy lives indoors with good care and regular vet visits—and they can safely live with other cats as long as everyone gets along. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will make your home feel warmer, Pippa is your girl!

Meet George! George is a handsome orange-and-white boy with a heart as big as his purrs — and trust us, they’re loud! He absolutely loves being held and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. George does well with his siblings and enjoys their company, but he can be a little cautious around other animals and may need a bit of time to feel comfortable in new situations. With patience and love, he quickly shows what a sweet, affectionate companion he truly is. If you’re looking for a cuddly, gentle boy with a motorboat purr, George might be your perfect match. ##2585644##

Story
Lilly is about 8 years old and overall is a very good cat. Very talkative, loves to cuddle, and loves some supervised outside time. Our family adopted her when she was 2 and all we had at the time was an elder cat. Since then we have added a german shepherd and a little human to our life and she adjusted well to all of the changes. She event handled our elder cat passing away last year very well, sitting next to him until the very end. The issue is our daughter is almost 3 and we have been able to track her breathing issues to cat allergies. We would love for her to go to a loving forever home where she can live out her senior years. We are not asking a fee to adopt her but will want to make sure the home is a good location for her.
