Story

Millie showed up the first day we moved into our new house in the country and refused to leave. That was 4.5 years ago. Because she was a country kitty first, we are not sure exactly how old she is, but assuming 5-6 years old. We live in the city now, but she is still used to being an indoor/outdoor cat. She is a sweetheart who loves cuddles but is not pushy about it. She is also very social around company. She lives with 2 of her kittens and does a great job taking care of them. She is good at coming when you call and is overall well-behaved. Millie is looking for someone who wants a friendly companion who will take great care of her and give her lots of scratches and brushes.

Story

Mountain was born 4 years ago in our closet and still lives with his mom and 1 of his sisters. He was named Mountain because he was the first one to conquer climbing over the box wall to leave the closet. But he has definitely lived up to the name with his size. He has lived half his life in the country and half in the city and is still used to being an indoor/outdoor cat. He loves a full body scratch and brushing and will be your best friend if you can provide that. He's a little skittish and skeptical, so it will warm your heart when you earn his trust and he'll use his big ol' head to demand you give him some love .

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Phoebe is two and half years old. We originally got her from a shelter where she had recently given birth to kittens, and she was spayed shortly after. She has a skin condition called hyperesthesia which means she has very sensitive skin and she cannot/should not be touched below she shoulders, aside from her belly when she wants you to. She loves head scrubbies and will accept attention and love on the acceptable parts of her body. She is not very forthcoming with love, but when she attaches to you she will sit near you, nap on you, and make biscuits around you. She does not do well with other dogs, at least not ours, or cats, so she should be the only animal in the home. She is very active and loves her feather toy and string toys. She is on a specific metabolic food because of an issue with her weight, but it hasn’t been an issue for about a year. She is a really great cat but she is mean to our dog, and unfortunately we cannot get rid of the dog as she is individually owned.

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hallie is a playful 4 year old with a sweet little meow and a heart of gold. I am surprised I had enough pictures of her because most times I try to take one she walks towards me to get some scritches. Hallie spent the first half of her life in the country and is currently an indoor/outdoor city cat who still lives with her mom and a brother. Anything soft, she considers her bed and she welcomes any opportunity to show affection. She is great around kids and company, and other than taking over your laundry for nap time, she does not cause trouble. So if you're looking for a sweet little addition to your family, Hallie is your gal!

Story

Tator Tot is a sweet old man. Tator Tot's favorite treats are greenies and his favorite activity is curling up on a cat bed with his feline friend Lilly. Tator Tot and Lilly have lived together for many years and would do best adopted together. To help keep them together Tator Tot's fee has been sponsored. Midwest Animal ResQ offers a 30-day adjustment period within which you can evaluate the pet's progress and your adoption decision. If, within those 30 days, you determine your recently adopted pet isn't a good fit, you may return the animal and receive a MARQ credit that can be used toward the adoption of another animal. Our biggest priority is finding the very best match for you, and Completing Families one Tail at a Time!

Hi, I'm Fern! 😺 My mother was abandoned while she was pregnant with us, but she found humans that took her in and raised us. I was born March 2023, and am up to date on shots, neutered, and looking for my forever home. If you bend over to feed me, chances are I will jump on your back to perch for a bit. I'm very playful and mischievous, I love to run around and play with toys 🧶 and then curl up beside you for a nap.

Story

Meet Starry, a small black cat with a timid nature, named for the white patch on her chest. She was rescued in November 2023 but hasn't received any veterinary care due to sudden and unforeseen financial difficulties. Starry hasn't been spayed or vaccinated. She's struggling to get along with other cats in the house, and it's causing stress for her and our elder cat. It's clear she's not happy here, so I'm looking for a home where she'll be the only cat and can get the care she deserves. Despite her shyness, she's very sweet and just needs a patient owner who can help her feel safe and loved. The rehoming fee is in place to prevent insincere adopters from acquiring her, as well as to cover the listing fee and transportation to her future home.

Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Chloe was a stray 4 week old kitten when we took her into our home. She’s used to having lots of activity and some level of noise in the home. She’s rather aloof, but likes to lay near you if she likes you. Does not like to be petted often, and hates being picked up or belly scratches. Like chin rubs and head scratches when in the mood. Not into toys, but loves looking out the window. Quiet cat, only really meows when she’s hungry and needs you to feed her. Trained to not climb tables, but she breaks the rule when she’s looking for water in a cup on the table. Sweet girl. Easy to care for.
