They’ve had some sad days recently, their mommy and daddy have recently died, and so the family returned them back to us. Despite that, they are still so loving and sweet, we just want them to be adopted soon so they can be settled in and have a new wonderful family love them like we do.

Story
Maximus is a 9-year old Brown Tabby American Bobtail who was purchased upon retiring as a show cat. He is very affectionate with everyone and loves being handled. He especially enjoys having his luxurious coat brushed and playing fetch with small toys. We keep his nails trimmed as he likes to knead. Max was great with our black lab mix until her passing. They would play quite energetically and we used to joke that he didn't know that he was a cat. For most of his life, he was an indoor-only cat, but we have tried letting him outside for the last few months. He is a marvelous cat except for one behavior issue which has led to our seeking a new home for him: seemingly-random episodes of urinating outside of his litter box (once every few months) which have increased as we added children to our family dynamic. Products, specialist vet visits, and online suggestions have not been able to eradicate this behavior; we feel that he might have fewer issues in a different home.

Story
A look into Kyo's soul We could tell you that Kyo is handsome, We could tell you we'd pay any ransom. We could tell you that he is so sweet, That owning him would be such a treat! But instead we will show you some things, That all the volunteers think he brings. "I love his sea green eyes and the way he follows volunteers around, like RIGHT behind them, to get attention. The way that he’s embraced all the things that have helped him be a better cat. His raised bowls, BATHS, his low litterbox, his feeding contraption, OTHER CATS." "He’s amazingly resilient and has overcome so much! He has a fighting spirit." "I love how he walks with swagger!" "I love how he will chase (walk slowly towards) the laser pointer!" "I love the relationship he has developed with Lorne (and any kitty buddy really!)" Yes Kyo is amazing, we cannot deny. But really you must meet him, please stop by! You'll fall deeply in love, we know this to be true. Adopting Kyo takes patience, but he will cure all your blues. Kyo would come with his special heating bed, a low litter box (but he also does okay with a low entry and high sides style), and a specially built stand to help with feedings. He deserves the best life ever, is it with you? ——— Kyo has healed himself. We built a custom feeder. We held the bowl while he lapped at food sloppily. We cleaned up so much urine from the floor. He couldn’t lift his legs high enough to get into a litter box. We got some more weight on him over months of work. Then Kyo found our Thermotex bed that had been donated….and healed himself. We honestly are shocked at his improvement. Kyo cannot climb or jump. He may never be able to. But he spends hours a day in his infrared bed, promoting blood flow, cell regeneration, and toxin removal. He knows what a litter box is for and he wants to use it. There are still occasional accidents but we also thought this cat was looking at a life of diapers. He proved us wrong. Kyo is a sweet boy who was dealt a really bad hand in life. But his heart has remained pure and loving. We have made Kyo available for adoption now. We don’t want this cat to spend his whole life in our shelter. His Thermotex bed will go with him. Kyo LOVES other cats and just wants to be included in whatever is going on. He needs a home that will embrace him! --- All of our cats/kittens are spayed or neutered, tested for FeLV/FIV, vaccinated against Distemper, and treated for fleas and other parasites. --- Adoption center is located at 7962 CLYDE PARK SW, BYRON CENTER MI 49315. Our shelter is open by appointment only. Applications must be submitted and approved before appointments will be set. Applications can be completed at http://www.focusonferals.org/adopt/adoption-application/. Our adoption fee is Kittens through 6 months $125 or 2 for $200; Kitties over 6 months $100 or 2 for $150. Come on out and meet the love of your life!

Story
Sapphire is a 6 year old (born 4/4/2019) blue eyed beauty with adorable “freckles” on her pretty face. She has been a loving companion to her senior owners ever since she was a tiny kitten. She has many more years of love to share with a new family. Sapphire received her name because of her piercing blue eyes that you can’t help but want to gaze into. Sapphire will need a home with patience to give her a chance to become comfortable but once she knows she safe, she will show her true self but it will take time. She will probably do some hissing and growling initially but when she becomes her true self, she will enjoy sitting on laps and prefers to spend time with her people. She also purrs a lot and meows to let you know when she would appreciate having a snack. She is a master “biscuit maker” and will knead on your arms and legs to claim you. She is a little bit of a “chunker” so she will benefit from a weight loss program in her new home. Sapphire is playful and enjoys toy mice, wand toys and she is great about scratching on her scratching post and she is very accommodating when she needs her nails trimmed. Favorite toys and other items will go with her to her new home. When new people visit, she may hide but for people that she knows she will happily greet them. She will prefer a home that is quiet and with only older children or adults. She has never lived with other cats or dogs so we are unsure how she would be with them. Sapphire likes to cuddle in bed with her family but she may only hang out for a short time to do some night-time exploring. She is also good about being picked up. She usually never exhibits any aggression but recently she has exhibited some hissing and attempts to scratch her senior dad but they believe that is only because she is sensing some health concerns for him. She is a fan of running water and would enjoy a pet fountain. She is a curious cat who loves looking out windows and watching all the fun things she can see. She also is a particularly good bug hunter and chooses to play with them whenever she can catch them. Sapphire is ready to join your home today! Can you make room in your heart and home for this loving, curious, and playful young gal?

Story
dob 1/22/24 MC came to TC Paw from a property overrun with cats that had been dumped off. In his TC Paw foster home, he's shy but he want to make friends with people and other cats. He socializes better with people when other cats are around. MC does really well with kittens. He doesn't try to be dominant. He is a sweet boy who loves face and neck scratches, makes cute little snort/pug noises when he purrs, loves nibbles when he's getting attention, and has beautiful golden eyes that pull you right in. He's not a fan of being picked up, and he has zero interest in the family dogs. If you are interested in adopting this TC Paw cat or would like to set up a meet-and-greet, please complete the  Pre-adoption Application .   April 9, 2025, 8:19 pm
