Turkish Angora kittens & cats in Traverse City, Michigan

Bowie is a sweet boy with a big purr and loves to cuddle. He was adopted from a barn six years ago and was living with 20 other cats there. His dad was Maine coon and Mom was a tiny striped lady. He was very skittish after we brought him home and took a couple weeks to warm up to us. He never warmed up to our other resident cat unfortunately. They have never gotten along. He loves dogs and is timid around kids. He tends to hide when there is company in the house. I believe he needs a quieter home with no other cats. He has been indoor/outdoor his entire life but uses the cat litter box just fine. When I am home alone, he comes into my lap and gives tons of love. We call him a dog cat because he was his tail when he's interested in something and he drools when he's very content. I love him and want him to go somewhere he will be loved.

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 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.
