Story
This is my first time owning cats and turns out I am allergic to them. I have bonded with them and this makes things so much harder but they need a loving forever home. Joey is a sweet and loving old man. I am not sure exactly how old he but he acts like a kitten! He loves playing with my dog as well as toys, his laser beam, and loves stalking the birdies out the windows.

Story
Georgie is the snuggliest, silliest little lap cat. I adopted him from Tiny Lions cat cafe just over a year ago when he was a kitten (his birthday is 7/4/2023). I took home his sister at the same time, and while they got along for a year, his male hormones have started kicking in and he’s started, for lack of a better word, humping her. He also holds her down and hurts her when she tries to get out from under him. I’ve tried reintroducing them, using pheromones, buying motion activated toys to redirect his attention, but nothing is working. I love them both so much, and neither has ever scratched or bit anyone, but his sister is very attached to me and it’s clear which one would do better with rehoming. Georgie loves catnip, his tall scratching post (I’d include this and various other supplies), sitting on a lap, chin scratches, and crawling inside blue plastic Kroger bags.

Story
Serenity is the mother of five female kitties who are under a year old and all of them are pregnant. Serenity is about two to three years old and recently had five kittens. She is VERY sweet and friendly but she warms up slowly.. She's been a great mother, had many obstacles in her way but she found a way to keep her babies fed and safe even when there wasn't enough food for them all. If you can foster for us. or help us with kitten food or litter please call or text me at 517 294 4514. Or email me your phone number at marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Chloe and Eddie's Story/Official Up for Adoption post Life on the streets is never easy and even with a caretaker providing food, Chloe faced harsh circumstances. She had recently given birth to a litter of kittens, although we will never know how many there originally were as there was only one surviving kitten. Eddie, only a few weeks old was being kept under a wheel barrow to protect him from the elements and a tomcat that wanted nothing more than to rid Chloe of her kittens to get her in heat again. This tomcat was obsessive, constantly stalking Chloe's every move and watching to get at Eddie. Thankfully, the caretaker realized help was needed and contacted BKR for help. Jen immediately jumped into action, grabbing supplies to secure Chloe and Eddie and get them safely inside. After a couple of days, enduring the harsh temps of Michigan winter, Jen had both kitties safe inside the caretaker's house. Unbeknownst to anyone, Chloe had already become pregnant again and as Eddie grew, so did Chloe's belly. Chloe gave birth to 6 new babies, but one was stillborn. Over the next couple months, everything went well. Kitties were happy and healthy and it was time for vetting and going up for adoption. With almost no notice, we were told the caretakers were going out of town and that they planned on taking all the kitties to the shelter. This broke our hearts as we scrambled, trying to figure out a plan. Chloe was taken to the shelter, ripped away from her babies and the comfort and safety of a home she had become accustomed to in the past 6 months. She was stressed and reactive which led to her being labeled as feral and they decided to TNR her. A couple days later, they took the kittens to the shelter. Had we been able to get a foster home on such short notice, we truly wanted to save them all from having to go to a shelter, but time wasn't on our side. Jen adopted Eddie to get him out and we were able to get Chloe before caretakers released her back to the streets. Originally, there was an adopter for both once kitties were settled, but Chloe had regressed and Eddie had become very sick and a few days later, Chloe developed the same symptoms. Both kitties were taken to Leslie's house where Jen and Leslie took turns caring for them, ensuring they ate, got their meds and anything else they needed. With both doing much better physically and mentally, we are now reaching out to find Chloe and Eddie a safe haven for the rest of their lives. We would love to keep them together as they have been through so much together and are comforted in each other's presence. Please share and help us find a home for these two wonderful and deserving kitties. If interested in adopting, you can reach out through messenger or email at bloomfieldkittyrescue@gmail.com.
