Story
Ridley is 6 years old, and he has been my beloved pet for this entire time. He is a very sweet and cuddly boy. He is playful and enjoys spending time near his loved ones. Ridley has lived with another cat for the last 4 years, and they have gotten along pretty well. He also lived with a small dog for 2 years and never had an issue. He has never interacted with a child. Unfortunately, I am being forced to re-home Ridley upon my landlord's request as we have exceeded the maximum allowed number of cats in the home. I absolutely would prefer to not be doing this, but it is not up to me. Ridley is very much a lap-cat, and he loves to take naps with his human. He enjoys looking out of windows, getting up on high spots, and being treated to wet food. He has very soft, plushy fur, and petting him is very enjoyable. He is pretty good about getting his nails trimmed, so long as he is rewarded and not forced into it too hard (definitely easier when he is sleepy). I can offer some supplies too

Story
We adopted Kitaka ("kee-tuh-kuh") from a small rescue about a year and a half ago. She enjoys chasing hair ties, aluminum foil balls, and anything that has wings. She is an independent kitty that comes to you when she's ready for cuddles and pets. She is amazing with other cats and plays all day with our other kitty. We recently had a baby and she has been having a hard time adjusting to the new routine. She is sweet to him, but does hide and runs when he starts to do what babies do (cry). Because of this, she has been staying in our bathroom and has been more content and relaxed being alone than when out in the rest of our home. She would do best in a home with either older kids or no kids at all and would do great with other cats. She has never been around dogs, so we're not sure how she'd do with dogs in the home.

Story
Izzy is a 10 year old female black cat who is a very sweet, very cuddly girl. She is unfortunately quite allergy forming and our 2 year old son has developed quite an allergy to her. We need to rehome her because of this. She is house trained and very adept at using a little box. She has all of her claws however no one in our family, including our son, has ever been clawed or bitten by her. Izzy loves nothing more than to cuddle on your chest and sleep. She would be great as a pet for someone who wants a low maintenance, affectionate cat. Izzy has been in homes with other cats and dogs, and has done well, but was an only pet for us for the past 5+ years.

Story
Looking for a loving home Garbanzo. She is about 8 years old and she is very sweet and social. Loves to sit on a warm lap and will follow you around. Unfortunately over the last few years she has become scared of our other cat and the other cat is territorial and fighting her. I hate to have to rehome but she deserves a home where she is the only cat. She loves to play fetch and be pet. She purrs as soon as she finds a lap to sit on.

Story
2 female kittens. The white pawed one is 8 weeks and the tiger striped one is 7 weeks. Have only had them a day but they are using the litter box and eating. Have been dewormed. Need to re-home due to severe allergies that I wasn’t aware I had until I brought them home. They are both very sweet. Looking to keep them together if at all possible.

These pups are in Grand Rapids, Michigan too!

Story
Void is a rescue, we were sitting outside and heard a loud meowing, my fiance walked down to the open yard and here comes this little black kitty bouncing over to him. We promised only to keep her for a bit and we ended up keeping for almost 3 and 1/2 years now. We have been meaning to get her fixed, but we'vebeen broke and have been moving state to state and its been the hardest time ever. She got pregnant and gave birth to 5 kitties we kept one just so she could have one baby. Her name is Maxine(Max or maxi for short) and they love each other soo much I don't wanna rehome them separately because I don't want either of then getting depressed. These girls are my baby girls and I hate to give them away, but alas, we must. Basically you get one cat for $30 dollars and her baby girl for free. Of you have any questions please let me know.
