Story
Foop is a glorious cat, moving through life at her own pace. She loves naps, laying in the sun, looking out windows, and snuggling. She is a biscuit master, and will frequently be in what we call "biscuit mode" where she must complete her batch of biscuits and can think of nothing else. Foop deserves more space and attention then she currently has.

Story
This is my first time owning cats and turns out I am allergic to them. I have bonded with them and this makes things so much harder but they need a loving forever home. Joey is a sweet and loving old man. I am not sure exactly how old he but he acts like a kitten! He loves playing with my dog as well as toys, his laser beam, and loves stalking the birdies out the windows.

Leon is a super nice 15 year old cat. All he asks for is a lap to sit on and food to eat . He’s healthy but overweight. I’ve tried dieting with him but not much success . He likes his food but I do limit his treats. My ONLY reason for looking for a nice home for him is, my husband passed four months ago. Leon spent most of his day with him. My husband also took care of me . I ataxia and I fall a lot and my kids want me to live with them. I won’t unless I find a good home for him.

Story
Wynn was adopted as a kitten and was the third kitty in the household and she never settled in well with the other two. She's a gorgeous, all white kitty with a beautiful, plush, all white coat. She obviously is a kitty who needs to be the only pet in the house. The family tried for a number of years to make it work, but ultimately.....some of us, like some of pets, just don't want to share the spaces we live in. Wynn is affectionate with people, she's sweet and snuggly but definitely needs a household where it's quiet, no children, like in the home she has now, and is just her as the spoiled queen of the house. Her dream is to have a quiet, low key household to be settled in with her pet parent to be very laid back. She'd be great in a house, where there is a mature person or couple and looks of relaxing views to see through the windows. She must be indoor only. She is healthy and up to date on shots and is fixed and vetted completely. Call for more information or text to 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number and I will call you to go over all her information.

Story
Victor was adopted in 2019 and was immediately a friendly and chatty guy. Recently one of our other cats experienced a behavioral change and is attacking Victor. Victor does not attack or engage with other cats, and is generally aloof. We wish to rehome him since the current situation is not fair to him. He is happiest with his humans, and will likely ignore other cats. Victor is very friendly with strangers and kids. When he is overwhelmed he will remove himself from the situation. He came to our house overweight and was predicted to be 10 at the time. Now that he lost weight our height believes him to be younger than the 14 yo he was originally predicted to be. He is in good health, but does have arthritis. We have been treating him with adequan (~$80 for 9 months) and he has shown great improvement. He is more playful and energetic.

Story
Cocoa is the best companion you could ask for. He adapts very well, extremely social, SMART, and can be trained. I call him my cat soul mate. He is very wise and intuitive. Generally, cats have a reputation for being independent and not social or "1 brain cell" but Cocoa is calculated and a really good boy. He loves cuddles, snuggles, and will sleep next you every single night. He was my sleep companion before we had our newborn. He knows how you're feeling and will comfort you when you're sad. He is such a loving partner. He loves to be pet and groomed. He loves getting brushed! Cocoa has a specific diet. He eats Purina One Indoor Advantage dry food mixed with Purina Pro Plan chicken and gravy entree urinary tract health wet food. I just mix a spoon of wet with some of the dry. It helps keep him from having any crystals and keeps his coat nice and shiny and healthy. He loves to play, loves to cuddle, and is just such an exemplary cat.

Story
Fizzgig is a sweet and energetic little cat. She was the runt of her litter and therefore looks a lot younger than she is, which is a little over 2 yrs old. She has always gotten a long great with our kids (6 & 7) and other animals (2 dogs & 3 cats) without any issues. We’ve decided to rehome her due to us recently having our 3rd child. Fizzgig is playful and energetic which is great, but this has lead to some close calls with our newborn and a couple incidents of getting scratched or jumped on while the cats run around playing. It’s a tough decision for us as we love her and her personality but it is best for our family.

Story
Milo is a great little ball of energy! He gets plenty of love and attention every day from my kids and our other animals. He’s been great with the kids (6 & 8) and our other animals (2 dogs, 3 cats). Our recent issue is that we recently had our 3rd child who is now less than a month old. Milo’s high energy and playfulness has lead to a few accidents with the baby getting scratched or jumped on while sleeping. Nothing serious, but over time has brought us to this tough decision. We believe he’d be better with a family that has no infants/small toddlers.
