Pixiebob kittens & cats in Walker, Michigan

Meet Shadow, an 8-year-old brown tabby who has a sweet and affectionate side! Shadow enjoys exploring her room and is often happy to come over and greet visitors with gentle head bumps. She loves attention, purrs, and making biscuits, and she’s always interested when a tasty treat is involved. Shadow can become overstimulated easily, especially with petting and physical touch. We’re not sure yet if this is something she experiences outside of the shelter or if the shelter environment is contributing to it, so her future family will want to pay close attention to her body language and keep petting sessions short. She’ll also benefit from specialized enrichment that gives her other ways to engage and have fun without relying on physical touch. Shadow may prefer being the only cat in the home, but she has previously done well with children of various ages and could potentially join a family with kids again. We don’t have any history of her living with dogs, so slow and thoughtful introductions would be recommended if she joins a home with canine companions. Shadow has plenty of love to give, and she’s looking for someone who will take the time to understand her signals, respect her boundaries, and appreciate all the sweet moments she has to offer.

Gigi spends her day exactly how she wants to. She loves having a routine and will let you know if you are late for feedings by meowing, bumping into your legs, swatting the air near you, or simply giving you her stare of death. She does not like to be picked up and will let you know by loudly yelling, this will likely not change. She enjoys sleeping in her bed, but that is HER space. She does not want pets while she is sleeping and cozy. She will occasionally snuggle in a pile under blankets. She also does not want to be pet while she is there. She enjoys to self-play with sparkly pompom balls but does not want to engage in play with you, these are her toys, not yours. Despite not wanting a lot of things, she actually does really love pets and snuggling. But strictly on her terms. Most of the time if you go in her room and sit down, she insists on sitting in your lap. Do not be fooled, this is not an invitation for a hug, you are simply furniture. While she is in your lap she will purr and make biscuits and you CAN pet her here. But don't get too crazy because she may bite you. (It's really just a nibble.) Gigi does not enjoy fast movements, loud noises, or cat carriers. Although, her office mate has been doing really good work on desensitization to carriers and she will go in for a treat! Gigi has a lot of trust issues, but once you earn her trust, it is magical. Gigi's officemate has also been working on her tolerance to children by sacrificing her own child. We have found that if the child is quiet and respectful of Gigi's boundaries, she actually seems to enjoy them! Said child has helped with feeding her and will go in for visits and has been awarded the badge of "Gigi snuggler". Gigi is an amazing cat, but she has been through a lot. If you're looking to adopt a lovable grump, she is the lady for you! Gigi's adoption fee has been sponsored by BathWorks of Michigan!

Flo is a calico cutie. She is 6 years old (born 5/13/2020) and she is looking for a new home as an only cat where she won’t get stressed and intimidated by other cats as she was in her first home. We don’t know for certain but she may do okay with a laid-back, gentle dog as there was one in her original foster home that she didn’t seem to be bothered by but that was about three years ago. This very sweet girl will most likely hide initially when she geos to a new home until she feels safe but once she is comfortable, she will happily roll over for belly rubs and she loves giving you head bumps. At vet appointments, she is a staff favorite because of how loving and sweet she is. She has become quite a bit of a talker and she enjoys sleeping at the end of the bed each night and likes to sit next to her person when they are reading or relaxing. She will occasionally nip her person for no obvious reason so an experienced cat person will be a good fit for her. She will appreciate a cat tree with a scratching post and a scratch pad. Flo likes to play fetch with small toys like a dog and she is a pro at chasing a laser light. She will do best in a quiet home with a family who understands that she will need some adjustment time to feel safe and comfortable. Even in her most scared moments, she is a sweet cat who enjoys being petted and getting attention. Are you willing to share a life full of play, love and companionship with this cutie?
