Story
Charlie is a very sweet, gentle and lovable cat. She loves pets and loves to sit on your lap and take a nap. She’s extremely friendly and loving. She currently lives in a home with 2 other cats. She has lived with these cats for the past 5 years and nothing had changed in the environment. It seems that Charlie is growing distant from the other cats and no longer getting along with my male cat. My male cat does seem to bully her at times and we thought he would stop, but it seems to be stressing her out. We are not sure how to fix this, but she does not seem happy in this environment anymore. He is older and we have had him longer. We love her a lot and just want her to be happy. We think she would overall be happier in a home that does not have other cats or dogs.

Story
Chloe and Eddie's Story/Official Up for Adoption post Life on the streets is never easy and even with a caretaker providing food, Chloe faced harsh circumstances. She had recently given birth to a litter of kittens, although we will never know how many there originally were as there was only one surviving kitten. Eddie, only a few weeks old was being kept under a wheel barrow to protect him from the elements and a tomcat that wanted nothing more than to rid Chloe of her kittens to get her in heat again. This tomcat was obsessive, constantly stalking Chloe's every move and watching to get at Eddie. Thankfully, the caretaker realized help was needed and contacted BKR for help. Jen immediately jumped into action, grabbing supplies to secure Chloe and Eddie and get them safely inside. After a couple of days, enduring the harsh temps of Michigan winter, Jen had both kitties safe inside the caretaker's house. Unbeknownst to anyone, Chloe had already become pregnant again and as Eddie grew, so did Chloe's belly. Chloe gave birth to 6 new babies, but one was stillborn. Over the next couple months, everything went well. Kitties were happy and healthy and it was time for vetting and going up for adoption. With almost no notice, we were told the caretakers were going out of town and that they planned on taking all the kitties to the shelter. This broke our hearts as we scrambled, trying to figure out a plan. Chloe was taken to the shelter, ripped away from her babies and the comfort and safety of a home she had become accustomed to in the past 6 months. She was stressed and reactive which led to her being labeled as feral and they decided to TNR her. A couple days later, they took the kittens to the shelter. Had we been able to get a foster home on such short notice, we truly wanted to save them all from having to go to a shelter, but time wasn't on our side. Jen adopted Eddie to get him out and we were able to get Chloe before caretakers released her back to the streets. Originally, there was an adopter for both once kitties were settled, but Chloe had regressed and Eddie had become very sick and a few days later, Chloe developed the same symptoms. Both kitties were taken to Leslie's house where Jen and Leslie took turns caring for them, ensuring they ate, got their meds and anything else they needed. With both doing much better physically and mentally, we are now reaching out to find Chloe and Eddie a safe haven for the rest of their lives. We would love to keep them together as they have been through so much together and are comforted in each other's presence. Please share and help us find a home for these two wonderful and deserving kitties. If interested in adopting, you can reach out through messenger or email at bloomfieldkittyrescue@gmail.com.

Story
Mini is a sweet cat who loves to play. She is almost entirely black with some white patches on her tummy, can often be found lounging next to a sunny window and chasing her tail. She loves cheek rubs, playing, and following her human around the house. I wish I could keep her, but I need to move and cannot bring her with me. I have her original adoption paperwork including vaccination history. She is neutered and chipped. Accessories available for free with adoption

Meet Sir Snugglesworth, a kitten with a royal title and a heart full of love. This little fellow is sweet as sugar, always ready to share his warmth with anyone who crosses his path.

He's not just about play though; he loves to cuddle up and share a cozy moment. His curiosity is endearing, always exploring and learning about his surroundings. Affectionate and social, he's the perfect companion. Sir Snuggs loves playing with his foster sister and brother. He would need a home with another playful and friendly cat friend. He spends a lot of time with his foster sister Wylie, he would love to be adopted with her! Being a polydactyl, he has extra toes to hold onto his toys! Sir Snugglesworth is waiting for a home where he can share his love, playfulness, and curiosity. Adopt him and experience the joy of his companionship. Sir Snugglesworth is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting him, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org.

Story
4 1/2 years old. Very cuddly, good with people, very outgoing, loves to play, good mouse catcher lol, loves being outdoors (have trained him to listen fairly well and come back on command/never strays too far from the fence but is not leash trained). Does have a problem with liking to chew things (soft fabric/materials in specific) so would need to make sure to keep cared about items out of reach
