My story

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

Olivander is a sweet, bouncy, cuddly kitten with a goofy streak a mile wide and big Tigger energy. This soft boy is more of a lover than fighter; he wants to be where you are and, preferably, in an active snuggle.

Ollie is a little bit of a dufus, and he doesn’t mind you knowing. He’ll face plant into your hand, lean into the scratch until he tumbles over, then wait to see if you’ll give him a belly rub now that his tummy is out. Once the pets start, he might just keep rolling, because maybe movement is what keeps you interested? He’s not ashamed to weep piteously at the door if you close him out. He has been known to trip over his own feet. He likes a good wrestle with another kitten, and to chase balls and toy mice, but a serious ear rub and petting is his happiest place.

Olivander can be skittish about loud noises or big, sudden movement, but he hasn’t been off the street for long—he’s already learning that a safe home doesn’t require so much vigilance. And it doesn’t get in the way of his hugely loving nature and playful side. He’s wary of noise and change, but once the commotion dies down, he’s the first one out with a head bonk and a big purr to get the snuggles going.

Ollie is a real beauty, too. He has the wide set ears, high forehead, and long nose of an oriental shorthair. He has the biggest eyes, with two distinct rings of different shades of green. His coat is like mink; he’s unbelievably plush, and a delight to hold and pet. (It’s a good thing he loves snuggles so much, because it’s hard to keep your hands off him). He has gorgeous black and brown tabby stripes on his back and tail; the brightest white legs, chest, and chin, except for one sleeve of stripes on his front right leg; and a final splash of white on his nose that brings it all together.

Ollie is a sweet and playful kitten who’s growing into a loving, confident little cat with a charmingly goofy side. He’s going to be a snuggly, springy, and purr-ful addition to his forever home.

Estimated date of birth is July 2024.

Our Adoptable Kittens ARE NOT FERAL. We take them from the streets at a young age, and some are feral at the time of rescue. However, we spend many hours taming, socializing, and acclimating them to indoor life as a pet cat. They are currently friendly, healthy, and playful kittens who are just waiting for their special someone to take them home. All of our kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites.

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.

For more in-depth information on TNR, please visit our links page to visit the Alley Cat Allies web site or the Feral Friends web site.
