Story
Scout is a wonderful 3 year old male black cat. It breaks my heart to be looking for a new home for him because he is such a sweet and cuddly boy. In May, I had a baby and Scout is struggling to figure out that he cannot play with the baby. He previously lived with older children and had no issues (7&11 years old). So he would do fine in a home with older children as he is extremely loving and playful. Since finding him as a kitten, he has never had any issues with using the littler box (zero accidents outside of his litter box). He received all vaccines when he was a kitten, but has not received them since as he is an indoor cat (willing to get him up to date if you would prefer prior to adopting him). I also have a dog (12 pound maltipoo) that Scout loves and plays with. I have also had my brother's dog stay at my house multiple times (also a smaller dog), so Scout is very comfortable around dogs. He hasn't been around cats, but I know he would love them once comfortable.

Story
We adopted Handsome about 5 years ago when he was a kitten. He had all his shots and was neutered, that was a requirement of the adoption though I don't think I have the paperwork anymore. He's pretty well behaved, housetrained, doesn't eat plants or chew or scratch furniture, and can be very loving. He's skittish and a scaredy cat, runs from strangers and is afraid of thunderstorms. He's an indoor/outdoor cat. We started having issues a couple of years ago, we also adopted his mom and they started being unfriendly towards each other. This has developed into full blown fights and they don't get along anymore at all. Also, when he sees another cat outside, he'll yowl and hiss at it, his tail getting all puffed up and freaking out. During these episodes, he can lash out with misplaced aggression, both I and my daughter have been scratched by him, though we've learned if you approach him gently or give him a snack, we can move him away from the window. We really want to rehome him. :(

Story
See Peanut`s Transformation! From the Streets of Detroit to Lap Cat Just one day before February’s 2025 bitter cold set in, Peanut’s life changed forever. Peanut was rescued when a caretaker contacted a PAAW volunteer about a cat that started coming around that had a wound on the neck and was gurgling when breathing. The plan was to trap him and get him to a vet but Peanut didn`t show up the next morning, so a PAAW volunteer searched the neighborhood and managed to trap him just in time.We had to hold Peanut until we could get a vet appointment, but in just weeks of him being trapped, treated and neutered at the vet, Peanut who was dirty and a beat up tom cat who came in down and out, with an old abscess wound on his neck has had an INCREDIBLE transformation with his foster! Turns out with just a little bit of time, Peanut is a sweet and affectionate guy! Peanut likes being brushed and petted, soaking up every bit of love he missed for so long. He is already using a scratching post. Peanut`s foster and the volunteer that trapped him have given him a second chance at life, and now he’s ready for a forever home where he’ll never have to fight for survival again!The vet said Peanut tested FIV+, probably from all his year of being on the streets. We don’t know what Peanut has been through living outside, but we do know he deserves a great home with all the food he can eat! We are hoping he may be just the guy to add to your family! ***********FIV+ cats need love too! FIV is species specific, meaning only cats can be infected. FIV+ cats can live just as long as non-FIV cats. If introduced properly, FIV and Non-FIV cats can live happy and healthy lives together. The virus is very frail and can only live outside the body for a few seconds, and requires serious physical interaction, like deep bite wounds. Normal social interactions, such as grooming, sharing food and water bowls and litter boxes have no known risk of transmission. Peanut~born~4/2/18_____A special adoption fee is offered for FIV+ cats and can give you and the cat years of love and companionship.Please use these links for our:Online Adoption Application: paawarren.org/adopt/adoption-application-formWebsite for details, info: paawarren.orgFIV+ info: paawarren.org/pet-resources/fiv-positive-cats***PAAW’s Cat Café is now open in Farmington Hills!

Story
Meet Nora Bean! Nora Bean is a shy but sweet gray kitty with a soft Russian Blue-style coat. She was rescued from life outside and is still getting used to being around people, but she’s making steady progress in foster care. She is shy but with lots of love and patience she will continue to blossomShe enjoys pets and flops on her side wiggling around. She is starting to learn how to play with toys. She’s not the kind of cat who will run up to you right away, but with patience and lots of attention, she begins to show her affectionate side. Nora Bean does great with other cats and would likely benefit from having a calm, friendly feline companion!In a new home, she’ll need time to adjust and should start out in her own room where someone can spend time with her and shower her with love and help her feel safe. She’s not a lap cat (yet), but she’s a good and quiet little girl that deserves her loving home! If you’re patient and looking for a low-key cat to nurture and grow with, Nora Bean might be a great fit! Nora Bean~born~10/1/24_____Standard and Special Breed adoption fees include age-appropriate vaccinations, FELUK/FIV combo test, spay/neuter, and microchip!

Hi! I am momma Patches! My foster mom says I am a beautiful calico who is such a great mom! I was rescued with my 4 kittens and momma Sunshine and her 3 kittens from outside in Detroit. We have been taking care of and nursing all 7 kittens together. Our 2 little families get along so well! I love all the kittens! I am ready for my furever home as my kittens are ready to be adopted into their forever homes! I would do great alone or with one or some of the kittens or even with momma Sunshine. The rescue is wondering if we may actually be sisters or mother/daughter. I look forward to meeting you and finding my forever home!
