Persian 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! 📧

Bubbies is the quiet kind of brave. She’s terrified of the world, yes—but she is also unfailingly sweet. She hides most of the day, tucking herself into her box like it’s her safe harbor. And yet, when you reach in to pet her, she purrs. She leans into it. You can pick her up. She never hisses. Not once. Even at her most frightened, Bubbies has only ever been gentle. Bubbies came from outdoors and was originally meant to be TNR’d, but she was simply too nice to send back out. We wanted to give her a chance at something better. The transition has been hard on her—so hard that at first she pulled some of her own fur from stress—but after two weeks in foster care, she’s stopped. That alone tells us she’s trying. And she’s improving. She’s looking for a quiet place to land. A low-traffic home. A calm human. A bathroom, a bedroom, or even a kennel setup at first would be just fine—Bubbies actually prefers small spaces where she can feel protected. She does come out when no one is around (yes, we have the camera footage to prove it), and she may happily take on night-shift mouse patrol in your basement while you sleep. Commotion scares her. Noise scares her. Pressure scares her. What she needs is time, patience, and permission to exist quietly until she decides the world isn’t so terrifying after all. Bubbies is not barn-cat material. She’s an indoor soul, especially with her long coat, which needs protection from matting and the elements. She just needs someone willing to let her be exactly who she is, without expectations or timelines. Her beloved red box with the blanket she calls home is included in her adoption. It’s her anchor—and maybe, in time, you’ll be one too. interested in adopting? Please email adoptions@savedbyzade.com

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.
