Story
My Dad found Boo outside and brought him in. He's a sweet boy, energetic and loving. A good cat. He has dietary issues. My little brother traumatized Boo so now he's terrified of all young boys. Young girls aren't a major issue tho. Boo is thought to be 7-8 years old. Boo needs space to run around. Boo is a mouser he needs stimulation. Toys and or someone to play with him. My grandma now has Boo because my dad moved to an apartment that doesn't allow pets. She can't afford to keep him so I'm buying food and litter for her but his behavior issues are driving her crazy. I know it's because he's bored, stressed or territorial but he poops and pees on the front and back doors.

Story
She is extremely lovey and loves attention. She needs to be in a home without a dog and with someone who can give her the attention that she deserves. She will snuggle at night with you on your chest, at your head or behind your back. She does well with other cats or can be by herself.

Story
Emmé and Claire have been inseparable since the day they were found and they both wish to remain together in their next home. Emmé (grey tabby) is 3 years old and is quite the social cat. She enjoys being around people, hoping that she could get some chin and belly rubs from them, as well as some treats. She also loves it when you swing a cat wand for her to catch or give her a toy with some catnip in it. Claire (mostly white with a few black spots) is 2 years old. When she first arrives in your home, she will be very shy, trying to hide away but still observing those around her. However, after a while, she'll become comfortable and be more like her sister Emmé, always wanting to be rubbed and following you around. Claire has not found a favorite toy yet, but one thing's for sure: she loves treats!

Story
**SPECIAL NEEDS** Franz is a super sweet guy who gets along well with other cats. Franz does have a heart condition that requires daily meds, but he takes them easily and would love to have a foster or adoptive home with someone who is understanding of his medical needs. He would be a great companion in a quiet home!

Story
Bruno was adopted through the humane society as a kitten. He is about 2 1/2 years old. He loves to play, sit in his cat tree and look outside. He does show aggression towards my husband and is territorial over me. I believe he will do well in a home with women, no small children or other pets. He can be very sweet and loves company. He is used to having someone home with him throughout the day. It breaks our heart to rehome him but it has become necessary for us to do so. We want him to be happy and live his best life. He does have feline herpes which is managed and controlled. We will provide you with all of our supplies we have for him.

Story
SNAP of Michigan is a 501c3 that is completely volunteer based. There is no income for what is done. Grants, donations, and community support is how we are able to do what we do. Prior to finalizing any adoption,  Dogs are fixed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. Cats are fixed, vaccinated, and Fiv/Felv tested. Dogs who are awaiting vet appointments can be fostered until the adoption can be finalized. This can be seen as a longer trial period in the home to make sure it would be an amazing fit! For additional information, Call/Text Ann (Dog Coordinator) (574)514-6832 dreampawsrescue@gmail.com Becky (Cat Coordinator) (269)340-0330 snapofmichigan@gmail.com   Skinner is a 1 year old male kitten who is looking for his forever home along with his siblings Diablo and Shadow who are also up on this page. Skinner is neutered up to date on all his shots, FIV negative and microchipped. He has a very playful loving boy who is waiting to be adopted by his special family hoping one of his siblings may be able to come.December 8, 2023, 5:09 pm
