Story
Gonzo is a very sweet cat we adopted recently. We were told by the shelter he is very good with other cats but that is very far from the case. We have spent almost 2 months trying to socialize him with our other cat with no luck. He is a very good, healthy cat who eats, drinks water, and uses the litterbox great. We would rather find a good home for him instead of sending him back to the shelter as we have the room to keep the cats separated, but this cannot be a permanent solution for any of us. He is loved dearly, but my resident cat needs to remain the priority, he is just not a good fit for us. He is about 7 years old, and I have his vaccination and health screening record. He just needs to be the only cat in the house. I am unsure how he is with dogs, but I personally would not risk it. He is very sweet and loving with humans, so I imagine he would be good with kids. Looking for a home where he will be indoor only. Big cuddler, very playful and sweet.

Story
Jan is about 5 years old, and full of many things; spice, charm, potential, energy, mischief, and love. We took Jan in from a friend who could not manage her aggressive behavior, about two years ago. We expected to be catching a hand grenade, but instead all we got was a feisty cat. Jan needs to be rehomed due to some household changes, and a reduced capacity to manage her behavior with our other cats. While she's made great progress, becoming better with people and other cats, we are no longer able to help her improve. Maybe you can! Jan needs LOTS of play and exercise to be at her best! She also gets overstimulated easily and needs 'time-outs' (where she is coaxed to a safe place by herself to cool off). She is highly food-motivated, which makes redirecting her and rewarding her easier. She has a sweet side, too! Patting my leg to ask for butt pets while she eats kibble, greeting us in the morning, snuggling with her favorite person. I hope you can keep showing her how to be soft

Story
Shamo was adopted as a kitten for my nephew who lived with me 7 years ago. My nephew has since moved out and left Shamo. I got two cats of my own and within a year, Shamo became aggressive with my timid female cat. He attacks her unprovoked. Until this point Shamo never had an issue. He is actually very affectionate and loves to be with people. He also loves my dog. Unfortunately Shamo can’t be with other cats. Medication worked to reduce his behavior for a year but its no longer effective. I want Shamo to have a chance to be happy with another family without other cats.

Story
Hey everyone, I have a four year-old kitty who is looking for a home. Me and my partner rescued her from a crate someone had put her in and left her in their garage for two months because they decided they no longer wanted a cat. We couldn’t leave her so we took her in even though we already had four cats. We have tried to make it work, but a few of my cats just never started being nice to her and I can tell how lonely and un included she feels. So I’m really hoping she can find a new home! She is so amazing with other cats who are friendly. She does so well with kittens. She’s a little bit wary of dogs, but doesn’t mind them after a bit. She has her shots and has been fixed and she is 4 years old. She is overweight and needs to work on losing weight. We’ve tried so hard but it’s difficult with other cats. She’s such a great cat with a cute personality, and I’m just really hoping she can find a loving home. Also, she is such a lap cat!

Story
The cat’s name is Van. I adopted Van in 2022 through the Facebook page Hidden Acres Safe Haven. He is currently 3 years and 11 months old (born on March 5th, 2022). Van is a very affectionate and gentle cat who loves attention and enjoys playing fetch with his little toy ball almost like a dog! He loves being petted, especially on his head, and he’s a great company to have around. Van once experienced a minor urinary blockage due to stress, but he has fully recovered and is now doing well. I’m looking for a loving and stable home where Van can feel safe and receive the care and affection he deserves. Currently located in Lansing, Michigan.

Story
I’ve had her since she was 4 months old, after my roommate stopped caring for her. The application fee is to help pay for the only vaccine she’s due for (rabies). She is incredibly affectionate once she warms up to you. She might be shy at first, but very talkative! Rosie does not mind voicing her opinion. Mostly, she uses her voice to demand for affection and when she wants to play. She needs someone who has the time and capacity to play with her and give her enough stimulation throughout the day. She would love to have someone to play and cuddle with. Once she becomes comfortable enough, she will eventually start licking your nose too. When she learns you like to play with her, she’ll start bringing toys to you throughout the day. She gets along with other pets, but sometimes gets jealous over attention. She is such a sweet girl and deserves someone who can give her the time, care, and affection that she needs.
