Story
This is Cricket! She has been the best companion I could’ve asked for, but I am planning to make a big move overseas next summer and will unfortunately not be able to take her with me. She is 3 years old as of November 2024. Though she takes some time to warm up to people, she has become quite the cuddle bug. She will let you know when she’s all done with cuddling with a nice loud meow! A total queen of the castle type! This is why I think she would do best in a house with no children (or older children with cat experience). She is not the most thrilled about living with another cat but shares the space pretty well. She’s still very playful and talkative and will let you know just what is on her mind!

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
Mika is a beautiful young kitty. Gorgeous American Shorthair. She is a tabby tuxedo. Two and a half years old, she has been bonded with house mate Bali up until now but she is fine without Bali lately.. They spent the most of last year in someone's basement and it wasn't easy for them to get socialized with the people who owned the house. Mika finally has. We had them bring them upstairs into the house to be a part of the family and they have warmed up as we knew they would. They are not able to stay where they have been, so we are looking for a non-smoking home for them so they can live a normal, loving family life in the sunlight and warm of a loving home with people who will make them family members. They like people, maybe a little slow to warm up once we move them to a forever home. Right now they are healthy and ready for a family of their own. For more information call or text me at 517 294 4514 or email me your phone number to marlas2468@yahoo.com

Story
Captain is such a sweet boy, he loves attention and cuddling and will always be ready to climb on your lap for some love. He has plenty of history with other cats but is no longer getting along with the other cat at home (though that may be her fault). Enjoys the outdoors, but also tries to eat everything outside so be careful. 8 years old, healthy, fixed, with claws.

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.

Story
Jack and Oliver are brothers who are 6 months and are a package deal. They are a dark brown and they have golden mix eyes. Genuinely great, very sweet loving cats. (Jack has one white whisker on his right side while Oliver has all black) Shots need to be updated since they were tiny when they had them. They’re great kittens They are great with other cats and dogs, They honestly just do their own thing. They haven’t been around kids but I think they will do well either way. They love to play but will also sleep with you and cuddle on the couch. Adoption fee is 40 for each. I want them to go with somebody that is fully willing to give them a forever home and take care of them properly. Please let me know if you have any questions. :)
