Pixiebob kittens & cats in Frankenmuth, Michigan

Hello, my name is Bert! I am a kitten with quite the backstory who is looking for the purrfect home to make my happily ever after and will care for me all the rest of my days! I was born with an enlarged heart, and I tested positive for a heart condition called HCM. I am looking for a owner who isn’t afraid of a kitty with a heart condition, and will give me the life I deserve: full of love, admiration, and the vet care I require.In May of 2025, on the first 80 degree day in Frankenmuth, somebody dumped my mommy, me and my 5 brothers outside Pet Angel. Our mommy cat was left inside a teeny, tiny cage and next to the cage, they left a rubber maid tote fully closed with me and my 5 brothers inside of it. We were just 6-week old, and the tote didn’t even have air holes in it!!! When the volunteers showed up for the evening shift, they found us, and quickly brought us inside to safety. Pet Angel named our mommy Sesame, and me and my brothers were all named after Sesame Street Characters (I’m Bert, but my brothers names are Elmo, Rocco, Grover, Ernie & Snuffy!) We went off to foster care, where we were safe and sound while our mommy weaned raised and weaned us, and we came back to Pet Angel when we were big enough to be without 24 hour care. I am a CUTIE! I am sleek boy with long legs and a long nose! I love to play with toys, carry around pom pom balls, and chew on show laces. I enjoy wrestling my roommates (especially my counterpart, Bert) and clinging to your shoulder when you pick me up! My foster mama used to let me sleep in the hood of her hoodie, so now I love cat hammocks because they’re kind of like a sweatshirt hood. I sleep in the hammock with my belly up! I am outgoing, and want to be around people! I am playful, with both toys, roommates, and people (and shoes- boy, do I love shoes!) and I’m the purrfect kitty- you will just love me! I’m adorable, friendly, sweet, playful and so much fun! I do have a health condition, and I am hoping that this does not scare away any potential owners, but helps me find the best family who will give me all the care I may need in my life. In the end of July 2025, one of my brothers, Snuffy, suddenly passed away. One day he was sick, so Pet Angel took him immediately into the vet, and the next day he was gone. It happened so fast, and all of the staff and volunteers at Pet Angel were absolutely devastated. At first, The vet thought Snuffy’s symptoms looked like pneumonia. This prompted Pet Angel to take my brothers and I into the vet to be checked out. Upon further investigation our vet discovered that our brother didn’t pass from Pneumonia, and that my mommy Sesame, along with all 5 of her biological kittens (me included) have enlarged hearts. At this point, the vet was concerned about a heart condition called HCM. In September of 2025, my mom Sesame, myself, and all of my brothers I went into the vet to get ultrasounds done of our hearts to check to see if we had HCM. My test revealed two things: I not only have an enlarged heart, but I tested positive for HCM. My brother Ernie also tested positive for HCM.So, what is HCM? HCM stands for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. HCM is a heart condition where the heart muscle thickens, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. While there`s no cure, it can be managed with medication. Currently, I am too young to go on the medication, but when I get older I will need to go on the medication. It is a pill that I would get once a week, and it would help my heart pump effectively. Longterm, I will need a combination between the medication, and to have check-ups with a vet every six months to monitor my heart health. With proper care, I can still live a happy and fulfilling life! I understand that an enlarged heart and heart condition may be reason potential adopters don’t consider me. However, to be fair, any cat you adopt could have a heart condition that goes undetected prior to you adopting them. Pet Angel has taken extra steps by fundraising the money to do the heart tests for me prior to posting me up for adoption to ensure that you- my hopeful future owners- are aware of this condition so you can give me the care I require to give me a long lasting, healthy life. In fact, they held off putting us up for adoption to do all of these medical tests to help set us and our future families up for success, so my future family knows exactly how to care for me. Please don’t let my heart condition be a factor in why you don’t consider me, but instead know that my enlarged heart just means I have more of a heart to love you with.I am fixed, microchipped, up to date on all my shots, and am negative for FIV/FELV. I am looking for a strictly-indoor-only home where I will be able to live with other cats, as I would not do well as a single cat- I need playmates!!! I have not been tested one-on-one with a dog, but I am so outgoing and affectionate that Pet Angel thinks that with a slow and proper introduction, I would get along with a dog that will not hurt me! I would do okay with older children, as I like to chew on peoples hands sometimes, so I’m not fit for young children. I need a strictly indoor only home, and due to my heart condition I am not a cat who should travel, so I’m hoping to find a family that will keep me home, besides when I go to the vet. I really hope to find a family who won’t be afraid of my enlarged heart or HCM, because I PROMISE, I am worth the extra vet visits. I am located at Pet Angel Adoption in Frankenmuth, Michigan and am looking for a home within the state of Michigan.

Hi, my name is Vinnie!In November of 2023, I tried to break into the lobby of the Bavarian Inn Lodge! The COO of the Lodge, Jim Engel, is a founder of Pet Angel, so the employees of the Lodge took me to Jim’s office and I spent the day with him, and then he brought me to the rescue! Pet Angel went on a hunt to find my family, and found out that I’ve been a stray cat living on the streets of Frankenmuth most of my life! A family just south of Mobil in Frankenmuth was caring for me as their stray, but weren’t able to bring me inside and keep me, so I become a Pet Angel cat! Pet Angel got me fully vetted, and I’m finally ready to be a housecat! I heard being a house cat is way better than living on the streets, and I’m excited to find my very own (and first ever) home!I love to play! With toys, with people, with strings hanging off your hoodie, and with anyting I can turn into a toy! I love to wrestle with my human friends, and will play with you rough! I enjoy attention, love to rub up against your ankles, and enjoy rolling around on my favorite rug! I love ALL types of cat toys- jingle balls, and yeowww toys, and felt mice, and foil balls, springs and pom poms are some of my favorites! I get very excited when you bring the stick toy out to play with me, because I love to chase after it! I am a big fan of canned food, and love treats VERY much! I am an alpha cat, and like to be dominate, so sometimes I will reach out and grab my human friends when they walk by, so I hope to find humans who can put up with a saucy guy like me!I haven’t met the other kitties at Pet Angel because most of them are shy or have special needs, and I am a cat who likes to wrestle and play. I would likely get along with another cat that would be submissive and like to play, but if you have another alpha cat, we would likely not get along. Since I lived as an outside cat for so long, I had to avoid dogs most of my life, and dogs make me nervous. I would be best suited for a home with no dogs. Additionally, I like to play with my humans and am rough, so I would be best in a home with children over the age 12.I am looking for a strictly indoor only home, with a family who will NEVER let me outside! I lived on the streets for long enough, and am excited to transition into a spoiled house cat! I have never had a family before, and can’t wait to find the humans who will love me until the end of time! I am fixed, microchipped, up to date on all my shots, and negative for FIV/FELV! If you would like to meet me and see if I’m the kitty you’ve been looking for, please submit an application at https://petangeladoption.com/adopt-a-cat

Meet Thumbelina, affectionately nicknamed “Thumbie”! This beautiful torbie girl is a polydactyl, meaning she has extra toes on all four of her feet — which is exactly how she earned her adorable name! She truly looks like she has thumbs on her front feet, and what better name than Thumbelina for a girl with thumbs!Thumbelina came to Pet Angel as our first kitten of the season in 2024 after she was thrown from a car. She had road rash on her face when she arrived, but thankfully, that is all ancient history now! When Thumbelina was about 6 months old, she also decided that her spay stitches were something she needed to play with and ended up ripping them out, resulting in an infection and a longer stay in isolation... but that was back in 2024 and is ancient history now! These days, she is a happy, healthy, VERY outgoing girl who has left all of that behind her!Thumbie is one of the most outgoing cats at the rescue. She absolutely LOVES people and is quite the little talker! She will happily chat with you, ask for attention, and purr up a storm while you`re giving her pets. If you`re looking for a cat who will actually have conversations with you, Thumbelina may be your girl!She also LOVES being up high. She enjoys climbing, perching, and finding the perfect elevated spot where she can supervise everything happening around her. She actually prefers to be up high! And she isn`t afraid to let the other cats know when she thinks they`re doing something wrong — Thumbie can be a bit of a boss!Thumbelina loves watching videos of birds on youtube, playing with catnip toys, drinking from her water fountain, and of course, getting treats. She is VERY treat motivated, and we wouldn`t be surprised if her future family could teach her a few tricks using treats!Thumbelina grew up with Cornelius (named after Prince Cornelius from the movie Thumbelina, of course,) who was once her best friend when they were kittens. As they`ve gotten older, however, they`ve become much more independent and are no longer a bonded pair. Thumbelina is perfectly happy having her own home and does not need to be adopted with Cornelius. She would likely prefer a home with other cats that will allow her to be the boss- but don`t get it twisted, she is so friendly and kind!Thumbelina would do well in an indoor-only home with other cats, and she could also live with small, respectful dogs. We do not think she would be a good match for a home with a large dog, as she would likely beat the dog up! She can also live with gentle children.Thumbelina is fixed, microchipped, up to date on all her shots, and FIV/FELV negative.If you`re looking for a fun, social, talkative girl who will keep you entertained and make herself comfortable in the highest spot she can find, Thumbie might be the perfect addition to your family!To get started on the process to meet this sweet girl, submit an application at https://petangeladoption.com/adopt-a-cat
