My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This is Little Bit, the sweetest bundle of wobbly, affectionate energy you’ll ever meet!

Little Bit is less than a year old and has a diagnosis of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), a neurological disorder that means she has a hard time getting her muscles to move the way she wants them to. Since she moved to a foster home, though, she has shown huge progress in her movement. She can go up and down carpeted stairs, jump on beds, and chase and play (alllll the time) with no trouble. Little Bit will always be a bit wobbly, but she can do anything other cats can do. And the good news is that CH is NOT progressive, NOT contagious, and will NOT shorten her lifespan.

Little Bit (aka Weeble, aka Wibbly Wobbly) is the most affectionate kitty we know—she LOVES to be petted and will follow you around to play, cuddle, and keep you company. She has a quiet meow that she rarely uses, but she will purr non-stop when she is cuddled and petted. She’s a tiny kitty—only about 6 pounds—but she has a big, friendly personality. She gets along great with kids who know how to be gentle with cats, and she does well with other cats who are friendly. She would do best in a carpeted home where she can stabilize herself better than she can on hard floors.

Little Bit took about a week to adjust to her foster home and had a few accidents, but as soon as she felt comfortable she had no trouble sticking with the litter box. She is a charmer and captures everyone’s heart with her loving and playful personality. Her wobbly walk gives her a sweet, silly charm, and her super plush fur makes her an excellent cuddle buddy. Little Bit is hoping to find home that will love her for the special cat she is!!!!

Estimated date of birth is spring 2024

Go meet their pets

Our adoption center is located at 7962 Clyde Park SW Byron Center. We are open by appointment only once an application has been submitted and approved.

'Our adoption facility houses so many kitties. The rest are in foster homes. If you want to meet a specific kitty, please inquire with us before attending an adoption event, so we can make every effort to have the requested kitties available!

For every kitten that is adopted another kitten will have a chance at a healthy happy life. Kitten season has been especially busy this year and we have been at capacity for some time now. Sadly this means people who want to help the cats and kittens in their area are being turned away because of limited resources.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of feral cats through education and action, following the humane methods of Trap-Neuter-Return, and thus treating every feral cat with the compassion and respect they deserve.

The Humane Answer: Trap-Neuter-Return
If you've ever seen cats in an alleyway eating out of dumpsters, or blending into the wild habitat of a wooded area, and wondered about their condition and how you could help them, read on...

Some of them, having been lost or abandoned, have found their way to a colony where they can survive amongst other felines. But the majority live out their lives as feral, or "wild", cats. Being either born in the wild and never having had human contact, or reverting to a wild state after having been abandoned; the great majority of feral cats cannot be tamed. Generally, attempts at taming or adoption of ferals prove to be fruitless. Our efforts can be realized one-hundred-fold if we do the greatest good for the greatest number of ferals by stopping the cycle of reproduction.

Communities can help these forgotten cats by providing them with food, water, shelter, and spaying/neutering services through the "Trap-Neuter-Return" full management program.

Briefly, TNR consists of the humane trapping, sterilization, and return of feral cats to their familiar habitat to be cared for daily by dedicated volunteers. Kittens under eight weeks and/or tame cats are placed into adoption programs.
