Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Traverse City, Michigan

dob 1/1/16 Mila is shy and slow to trust, but when she does, she is a sweet, gentle girl who enjoys being brushed and petted and looking out the window. She doesn't care much about toys. Mila's former owner returned her to us for inappropriate peeing after she felt she had tried everything, including treatment for urinary tract infections, without success. So far in her TC Paw foster home, her urinary issues appear confined to peeing over the edge of the litter box once or twice when she got too close to the edge. Obviously, something else must have triggered the previous behavior. Whether she had past UTI's that went undiagnosed and caused her pain that she associated with the litter box, or from her past declawing, or something else, she seems to be doing well now.  A larger litter box has helped, along with a pee pad underneath. She has not urinated anywhere else outside the box.  Mila is a loving cat who  who will need an experienced cat owner to make her feel safe and allow her to adjust to her new home in her own time. This pretty girl is old enough that you don't have to deal with kitten nonsense but still has a long and rewarding life ahead of her as a companion to a patient and understanding owner.

dob 8/1/22 Maybe you saw the segment on 9and10 News marking the anniversary of the huge Kalkaska rescue TC Paw did last Labor Day weekend. We rescued 38 cats from desperate hoarding conditions. Of all those cats, only three have not found their forever homes yet, and Isla and her sister Pip are two of them . Most of the Kalkaska cats followed the same pattern - frightened at first, but then they turned into lovers. That is Isla. She purrs the minute she sees her foster mom, and she cuddles easily and comfortably. She has an impressive  stretch and yawn. She loves playing with her peacock feather, and she scratches on her cardboard scratching pad like a good kitty. Isla drinks water by sticking her paw in her water dish and then licking her paw. It's cute. She's a little cautious around new things and people, but she has learned to accept the dog and to realize that the resident cats are not a threat. Besides her foster, Isla's favorite snuggle pal is Pip, the cat she came in with. Sometimes they lie so close together that they look like a two-headed cat. We believe they should stay together. Take a look at Pip's page too. 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 .   November 6, 2024, 2:41 pm

dob 8/22/19 Goldie was originally adopted through a vet office, but her owner relinquished her to TC Paw because she didn't get along with the other cat in her new home. She loves people, though. She's a sweet, gentle lap cat who loves lots of attention. In a quiet home where she is the only cat, this pretty girl will be a wonderful pet.  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 .   November 6, 2024, 2:41 pm

dob 12/1/23 Please help us find a quiet home that will give our pretty Naomi the chance to bloom into the lovely pet we know is in there. Naomi was a mostly outside cat who came to TC Paw from an owner who couldn’t care for her any longer. She needed time to get used to being a pet, and in her TC Paw foster home, she has come a long way from the unapproachable cat she was. Though she is, of course, well-cared for by her foster family, she’s still not living her best life. She doesn’t really like other cats, but since it’s a foster home, other cats are always coming and going. She particularly dislikes kittens. Naomi likes people and would draw closer to them, we are sure, without the other cats around. She loves to be petted and rubbed and to start up her rumbly purr. She’ll press her head into your hand for ear and chin rubs. She has soft fur and a beautiful face. She’s an enthusiastic eater who loves a squeezy tube treat more than anything else. Naomi has funny little routines, like standing to look out the window in the morning after breakfast and talking in her sweet, tiny voice to something out there. Her playful side shows with light toys she can skitter across the floor. While she is still not yet the cuddly lap cat people might want, in a quiet, adult home where she gets attention and the occasional squeezy tube treat from an owner who patiently lets her blossom, Naomi will be a fine, gentle companion.

dob 4/1/23 Snake, his mother, and his siblings were found under a shed. A  nice family took care of them before they were caught and brought into a TC Paw foster home. At first, Snake was shy,  but he has come a long way. Though he is still a bit skittish, underneath he is a purr baby who loves affection. He his the softest cat ever. Snake is a talker. When he wants something, he's not afraid to vocalize it. Loud noises and sudden movements scare him. He'll do best in a home with an experienced cat owner and older children who won't startle him with quick, unpredictable actions like little kids might. He does well with dogs and other cats, and may even benefit from having a feline friend in his new home.  Snake's mother is Lizzy, and his sister is Izzy. Check their pages too.

dob 3/13/20 Barney and his siblings were born on the grounds of the State Hospital in the spring of 2020. A semi-feral kitten, he spent a few months in a foster home learning to enjoy human attention.  He was adopted with a sibling, but then returned recently to their former foster home when their owner couldn’t care for them any longer. Back in his foster home, Barney has blossomed and become increasingly confident, playful, and loving. He’s a talker too, especially when he wants attention. His foster mom says he “has been a joy to have in my home and has my heart forever.” Barney is selective about people, and though he isn’t one of those life-of-the-party cats, he’s loyal and affectionate to his people. Since he can be wary of new people and loud noises, Barney’s best home will be a quiet one without young children. He is gentle, but young children scare him.  Another mellow cat or a gentle dog should be okay after a gradual introduction. Barney is a foodie. He was overweight when he returned to his foster home, but through scheduled feeding and plenty of playtime, he’s almost a healthy weight again. He should maintain a feeding schedule, not be free fed. He likes to eat too much for his own good. What Barney really wants is plenty of love and attention from a patient owner who follows his cues, lets him acclimate at his pace, plays with him daily, and never misses his evening squeezy tube treat. Barney is waiting to live his best life. It could be with you.
