Calico kittens & cats in Detroit, Michigan

I purchased Ginger from a someone for my daughter a bday gift. We were told that Ginger was a girl when got him. While using the restroom room one day, he came in and I seen his man parts and realized she was a boy. By that time, he wouldn’t not entertain any other name so Ginger stuck. He’s vary skittish but once he gets attached and trust you, he’s clingy. He loves to play with toys, especially lazors in the dark. He also loves watching tv. His fav movies are Secret Life of Pets, Pets United and Hotel Transylvania. He loves to be warm and comfortable. If you can’t find him around the house, he’s probably in the smallest and darkest place. He tends to hide behind the furnace, under the bed and he’s even been under the sink in the bathroom. Ginger likes his box clean and will use it elsewhere If it’s not. Our second cat Spencer died and he was so sad. He’s now getting his appetite back. My daughter had a baby and we are both too busy to keep him. Looking for an amazing home for him.

Cali is a beautiful girl looking for love. She's very sweet, loves attention and is playful

This is Jam. I have a busy schedule and other cats at home. She’s very playful with other animals and people. I don’t have room for her unfortunately. Easily entertained.

This gorgeous girl was found by concerned residents with an injury to her side. Once examined, we determined she wasn't an outdoor cat and named her Jewel. Since being at the shelter, her wound in now healed and she's ready to find her home! Jewel is a sweet girl who loves all eyes on her. She loves to curl up in a lap and will make a wonderful companion to anyone willing to give her a chance.

This is Callie, she is a few years old and is the sweetest girl ever. This cat wants nothing but love and affection. She was my great grandmother’s cat, but she recently passed and unfortunately where I stay I cannot take her in. She is obese, and so she cannot clean herself alone. Despite her size she is very playful and energetic, and has been losing weight steadily so far, with care she would be a great cat for any home.

Meet Loretta – A Hardworking Cat Looking for the Purrfect Job!Loretta was found living outdoors and has shown us that she’s an independent spirit who prefers life on her own terms. While she’s a beautiful and resilient cat, Loretta isn’t particularly social and isn’t comfortable being touched or handled. With time and patience, she may grow more trusting—but right now, she’s an ideal candidate for our Hardworking Cat Program.About Hardworking Cats:Living indoors with humans isn’t an option for every cat. Barn cats, often referred to as working cats, are not suitable candidates for adoption as typical house pets. During their early life stages, many of these cats had little or no exposure to humans, which led to under-socialization and a natural fear of people. While some hardworking cats may eventually warm up to human interaction, others prefer minimal or no contact at all.Why Adopt a Hardworking Cat?Adopting a hardworking cat like Loretta not only saves a life—it also creates a mutually beneficial partnership between you and your feline coworker. These cats provide natural, non-toxic rodent control and quiet companionship, all while enjoying a safe, comfortable space to call their own.What They Need:Your hardworking cat will need a permanent building or structure to call home—this could be a barn, stable, warehouse, outbuilding, factory, plant nursery, or brewery. During the initial three- to four-week acclimation period, Loretta should be confined to a secure cat condo or large kennel to help her adjust and recognize her new home. After acclimation, she’ll need ongoing shelter, daily food, and fresh water on a consistent schedule so she learns where to find safety and care. Routine and emergency veterinary care should also be part of your long-term commitment.If you have a safe outdoor space and are looking for a low-maintenance, life-saving companion to help keep your property pest-free, Loretta would be the perfect hardworking cat to join your team!

Sheba is a shy, sweet adult cat who’s still building her confidence, but she has a soft spot for gentle attention. She may need a little time to feel safe, but once she trusts you, she really enjoys calm pets and quiet companionship. Sheba would do best in a peaceful home with patient people who will let her blossom at her own pace. If you’re looking for a low-key, affectionate friend to share your cozy moments with, Sheba might be your perfect match.

Jacob is a tender-hearted cat who needs a little time to warm up—but once he trusts you, he becomes an incredibly loving companion. At first, he may keep a low profile, observing from a cozy hiding spot or approaching slowly to say hello. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Jacob blossoms into a sweet, friendly cat who enjoys gentle petting and quiet companionship.
