Hi! I'm Frick and I'm on the search for my fur-ever family! Here's what I have to offer...1) I LOVE sitting in laps, the closer I can be to my human, the better. I am the best TV companion you will ever have!2) I am also a great sleeping companion... either rolled up so adorably into a ball at the foot of your bed, or if you'll let me, I also have a fondness for curling up next to you so we can cuddle together while you sleep.3) I'm very chill and I don't climb - I have a bit of a 'dad bod' that prefers to live a laid-back lifestyle.4) Even though some say I'm 'middle-aged' at 10 years old, I still have a playful fun side! I love to bat a ball around and play in toy tunnels.5) I get along with everyone! I have 3 foster feline brothers that I have so much fun with. I also love humans and kids... actually, I love anyone that will pet and play with me. Will you fill out an application so I can meet you soon? michelesrescue.com ##1870313##

Story
Hello, world! My name is Anna. I would like to tell you the story of how I came into Michele's Rescue. During last March, a kind lady found me straying by her house and took me inside to try and find out where I came from. Little did she know that I was about to give birth to 5 kittens a few days later! Fate wasn't with us and the lady was not able to keep me for her own. So on April 8th, when my babies were just a few weeks old, a foster volunteer from Michele's Rescue came and took me and my babies to a new home, where we have been living ever since.   Today, my kittens are 6 weeks old and they are growing up as healthy and as happy as anyone would want. I will stay with them for a little while longer and then we will all be ready for our forever homes! My foster mommy can tell you that I am such a wonderful mom, who is patient and gentle and loving with her babies. I also enjoy a bit of play time with my foster mom.   Since coming here, I also have had a nourishing diet, and to repay my foster mom, I like to sit on her lap while watching the babies play and grow.  Foster mom says she's very proud that I am good at using my litterbox and have taught my kittens how to do the same. It's my hope to find a home where I can be with nice, quiet people who will enjoy my company and share their laps with me.   Foster Note: Anna has not mingled with my personal cats as of yet because she has preferred to be very protective of her family and does not want to be separated yet.  We are working on giving her a little more time to gradually meet them.  Please go to your computer or mobile device, somewhere on that internet you will find www.michelesrescue.com where there is an application waiting for you!  ##2014299##

Barn homes MUST be willing to feed cats daily, provide fresh water, and suitable shelter within their barns/outbuildings. They must also agree to follow our 10 day rehoming procedure (supplies will be provided). We are willing to drive these cats anywhere within 2 hours of our facility in order to place them into a quality barn living situation.

Story
Libra is a stunning tuxedo cat with sparkling green eyes. Her estimated DOB is June 2020. Much like the zodiac sign she was named after, which is symbolized by scales representing balance and harmony, Libra is what we would call a perfectly balanced cat! She is equal parts cuddles and independence. She is social cat will greet you when you enter a room. At times, she will demand further pets and settle into your lap. Other times, she is more independent and settles down at a close distance. She is equal parts energetic and lazy. She can be quite playful, and likes to climb up our mesh door like a spider-cat when she wants attention! But, she also knows the value of a good snooze. She is equal parts naughty and nice. Libra is an absolute doll and gets along great with the other cats in her room. But she definitely has a naughty side—while she never door dashes, she does always check to make sure the door to her room is latched shut. If it isn’t, she has been known to lead a mutiny, pushing it open and letting all the other cats escape! As you can tell, we think Libra is just all-around great, and would be a wonderful addition to any home. If you feel like you need more balance in your life, please fill out an application to meet Libra! --- All of our cats/kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.

Tuck was originally adopted out in 2020 but was returned due to no fault of her own! She is friendly but confused as to why she is at the shelter again and no longer in her home. She would love to be in a home again where she can be petted and sleep on couches! Here was her original bio from 2020: This sweetie is Tuck! Tuck really does love people, it just takes her some time to get used to them. Very shy at first, but once she trusts you, she will take all of your snuggles! She gets along well with other cats. Take the time to get to know Tuck, you will be glad you did! --- All of our cats/kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites. --- Adoption center is located at 7962 CLYDE PARK SW, BYRON CENTER MI 49315.

Story
Andy’s owner developed dementia snd was brought to California to live in a facility while Andy was left behind. Andy has been in foster for almost one year. He has been adopted out three times and each time he has been returned. He is at least 11 years old. Due to his dental and kidney health the vet thinks he could be older. We don’t know for sure how old he is. He had a lot of dental work done. A wet food diet is required, kidney health. He has problems using the litter box. Anyone interested in adopting Andy should have experience with senior front paw declawed cats. He is a lover. By that I mean he wants to be on your lap all the time. Someone who is retired or works from home would be best. He gets along with some cats. He gets along with low energy dogs. Andy was an only pet in his old home. It is not a requirement for his new home, but he would probably prefer it. If you think you can give Andy the care that he needs, please reach out. He will repay you with all the love he has.

Story
Fluffy is a lovable, 7 year old, fully declawed, large male cat. We have 3 young girls and he has always been really good with them and they love him so much. He is so sweet and a VERY chill cat and spends most of his day sleeping near me in the living room while I work from home. It breaks my heart to have to get rid of him, but we just can't have him in our home anymore. My husband has allergies, and in general doesn't like him, so Fluffy has never been allowed to sleep in our room, which seems to cause Fluffy anxiety. In the last couple years, he's had some issues with accidents outside the litter box at night when we shut him out which has fueled my husband's dislike for Fluffy and causes so much tension in our household that we just can't do it anymore, which I know Fluffy senses too. The accidents are infrequent (sometimes not for months at a time) and I truly believe that it wouldn't be an issue anymore if he finds someone who is home a lot and won't shut him out at night.
