Story
This sweet boy is currently named Billy. We found this lad wandering around a Walmart parking lot back around August last year lost and looking for help. He was really friendly and didn't need much coaxing to get him in our car and keep him safe. We hadn't been able to find his owners and so now we are trying to re-home him. He is a super friendly cat and loves affection. If you scratch his forehead just right he will start "making biscuits" in the air. He genuinely likes belly scratches, and best of all has the softest fur I've ever felt on a cat. You will occasionally find him sitting in these funny "power poses" as we like to call them. He gets along well with our other pets. He is quite playful and hardly gets into spats. We suspect that he suffers from stress diarrhea. The first week we had him he would have soft stool, but it has since gone away.We just think it was from moving to a strange house with other cats that stressed him out.

Story
We found Billy lost in a Walmart parking lot a couple years ago. We had tried to find his owner, but haven't had any luck. We can't say for sure how old he is, but we would guess between 2 and 5 years old. This boy is perhaps the sweetest cat I have ever known. He loves to be pet and having his booty scratched. He's also very greedy with string toys. He'll greet you with a merp, is fine being picked up and held. He doesn't often cuddle, but will sometimes lay on your thigh. He's not shy to strangers, and is fine with young children.

Story
Russ is a very loving and affectionate boy. He will lay on your lap and stare lovingly into your eyes. He loves water, and will sit in a sink and let the water run on his back. He is vocal, so he enjoys being talked to. He’s overweight, but gets food for hairballs and healthy weight. I think he’s just meant to be big. Russ has lived with his brother since birth, and I would really like to adopt them together if possible. His brother’s name is Gerry, and he is a bit more independent. He provides affection mostly first thing in the morning and at bedtime. They eat the same food, but Gerry is thinner. I cannot stress how important I think it is that they stay together.

Story
Zoro was with me since he was 3 months old. That is more than 7 years a go. We've been in many, good and no so good. We live now in Michigan, and I have to move again, it will not be possible to take him with me. Last time we moved the travel was very bad for him. After that move he got a fear for any kind of transportation. For example he is no longer calm at doctor's office and they need to sedate him for the exams. He's got all the vaccine, so we go to doctor only for that, once per year. He like to go outside but he doesn't go far nor stay long. He is active and like playing. He is friendly with other cats but never meet a dog. I expect him to make friends with anyone, including dogs. I hate to have him surrender and I need help with adoption. P.S. I can provide food for more than a month, and other items. We leaved in both an apartment and, now, a house. Michigan, please help!

Story
Babygirl was my dad's cat. He passed away unexpectedly June 2024, and I was charged with the care for his two cats. Babygirl is a sweet old lady, most likely 17-19, and very social and demanding of attention. She's a real love bug and loves lap time and bedtime together. I'm looking to re-home her primarily because of a behavioral problem: she'll use the litterbox, yes, but when defecating, all too often she'll hang her rear over the outside edge of the box and mess on the floor. She did this at my dad's as well. I'm tired of cleaning up after her, and I work 12 hour nights in a factory with a lot of overtime, and may be moving over two hours away for a new job by January. She's become an unnecessary burden and expense I would have never volunteered for, but no one else could take her at the time of my dad's passing, and I don't want her abandoned because it's not her fault.
