Story
I came to the rescue with my kittens. We were found at a construction site and were excited to get to the rescue where I could safely raise my kittens, and then find a good home for myself. I am very laid back and with love, I will be a chill lap cat. I can play well with others because I love attention and lounging around. Will you let me inch my way into your heart? We are a Christian-based organization with a Mission to improve the lives of cats. We specialize in cats that will bond closely, but would otherwise sit on the shelf because they are shy, need special understanding, and would otherwise never know the love and comfort of a furever home. *Please do not adopt if you believe in disciplining a cat, including ‘water bottle training’. We are a behavioral rescue and believe in positive redirection to adjust behavior, rather than punishment with cats.*

Story
🐾 Meet Maysey! He’s a sweet, mellow 13-year-old cat looking for a loving home. Maysey adores people and wants to be wherever you are. Lounging beside you, watching TV, or sleeping at your feet are his favorite. He’s playful, confident, affectionate, and fully litter trained. He’d do best as an indoor cat and possibly the only pet. He comes with food, litter, toys, a new litter box & supplies. 💔 I absolutely adore Maysey and never expected to rehome him. Unfortunately, my health has changed significantly and my allergies and respiratory autoimmune disease have become increasingly difficult to manage despite years of trying different ways to reduce my exposure. This is an incredibly painful decision and has nothing to do with Maysey. He is a wonderful companion. My priority is finding him a safe, loving, stable home where he can be someone’s buddy. If it’s not a fit, I will always take him back. If you want more info I'm happy to provide it!

Story
We adopted Grey-Grey as a young kitten. He is 14, bday 4-1-2012. Grey-Grey is neutered. He likes attention and likes everyone. He is getting older and it is harder for him to hold weight and groom himself, although he is still active and jumps up on his tall cat tower. My son recently adopted two other cats and they pick on Grey-Grey, so we have been keeping him separated in our back room. But this isn't really fair to him so we are looking for a new home where he can have more room and be part of the household. He has a very kind personality and it is hard to let him go. I don't remember if we had him microchipped. His last rabies shot was Aug 2025 but he is due for his regular booster shots for distemper etc. If you have the heart for a senior companion Grey-Grey is your boy.

Story
When Monty was a kitten, he was rescued from a kill shelter in Kentucky and brought up to Livonia, MI where he was fixed, microchipped, and given his first vaccines. He was then adopted and lived with another cat and a dog. Five years later, he moved away with his human due to divorce. Monty moved three more times with his human and his younger feline brother, Merlin, until they finally found a house. Merlin developed health and behavioral problems which meant that the two cats had to be separated. Since Merlin could no longer tolerate another cat in the house, Monty went to stay with another member of the family. This person is now having health issues and feels they can no longer give Monty the home he deserves."Mont-ster" is a lively, energetic, intelligent cat who just wants a stable, forever home. He is up to date on his shots and has been indoors all his life. He would love a porch or catio! He may be 7 years old, but he has the energy of a kitten. Monty is not declawed.

Story
I found Salem about three months ago.I thought she was a kitten with worms, turns out she was a mama. She was so sweet and affectionate towards children, adults, and dogs- unfortunately she was very aggressive towards my two male cats.Her kittens are now 11 weeks old and she is finished nursing them. Salem is no longer aggressive towards my male cats, but they are unwilling to forgive her. They are actually terrified of her. My male cats started marking their territory and we are now replacing all the carpets throughout our home. 🤦‍♀️ As much as I want to keep her, I unfortunately have to find her a new home.Salem is up-to-date on her shots and tested negative for feline AIDS or leukemia. Salem is signed up for a wellness plan through Banfield health, we will pay the monthly obligation until May 2027
