Adoptable Cats
Before you fall in love with one of our cats (it’s difficult not to), have you filled out an application? At this time, visitors at our shelter are limited to those who have submitted an app.
Cheryl was brought to the shelter as a feral young adult and has been in our care for 9 years. We are committed to her wellness despite her reduced human socialization over the years and wish to find her a home where she can spend the rests of her days quietly, in solitude, in peace.
She makes feline friends quite easily, but humans make her really nervous. She is no longer aggressive towards humans, though likes to let you know she wants space. She responds to treats and will be friendly when catnip is administered by our volunteers. She mostly spends the day looking through the windows and surveying the room from the tallest cat tree.
If you have space at your home and don’t mind a quiet, well behaved and beautiful senior lurking around, consider giving Cheryl a chance. Perhaps she will bloom outside shelter conditions!
Connor is a gentle and shy barn cat who enjoys treats but doesn’t like pets. He’s smart enough to trick volunteers to give him treats without doing his socialization homework, but we adore him anyways.
He is coming slowly out of his shell with humans, but has no issues with other cats. He likes to play ball with others and is a kind big brother to the smaller cats around him.
We are hoping Connor can find a house where he can work on his people skills in a quiet environment where he can feel safe and respected. We want Connor to go to a household with other kitties so he can get a safety net in a social circle while he adjusts.
Duchess is gorgeous and mellow mamma who spends her days napping, looking through the window and watching the kittens play.
She is a former barn cat who transformed from a sass machine to a pet seeking girl. Both of her girls are usually around her looking for comfort.
She LOVES pets and treats. She is really shy and reserved at first, but once pets are involved, she follows the volunteers to rub herself against them and show her belly.
We want Duchess to go to a quiet household where she can continue to be her calm self. We do not recommend a house with children since she can get stressed by noise and rapid movements.
Dusty is a beautiful blue Russian mix with a lot of attitude. She likes to hunt, likes to play and loves the treats.
Dusty is a barn cat that has grown to love humans and being around them is her goal. She likes to climb climb climb! She enjoys sprinting, going vertical, reach high places and get in trouble for doing so!
She is a boss lady. She might put even the scariest dog in place. Sometimes she needs help understanding rules, but she makes it up by being her cute self.
Apply for Dusty if you have a big space for her where she can break world records every night having zoomies.
Kiko is a young, fluffy and energetic boy who is just discovering the wonders of the world. He is not exactly a social butterfly with other cats, but he enjoys the attentions of the volunteers. He sometimes can be a fresh kitten, so we do not recommend household with children. Other than that, he is a funny guy, very energetic when having the zoomies, and likes to follow volunteers around to play.
He came from an odd living situation where he was never taught manners and being an intact male did not help either. However, he is quickly understanding and adapting to his new living situation at the shelter. He has progressed a lot, but we could benefit from experienced cat owners. We know that because of his age, his quirks can be corrected in no time with the right person. We are looking for someone with patience and willingness to work with him.
Lila was a initially a TNR case, but she never displayed aggression or feral behaviors so we decided to give her a chance to rehab. She has come a long way. She enjoys being pet on the head and ears. She likes to eat treats from your finger. She plays a lot with feathers and strings. However, she still has a ways to go. She would rather be by herself and is still a bit shy when it comes to new people.
We would like her to find a home with other cats where she can have both human and non-human interactions. We have high hopes that she will learn to trust a human or two and eventually leave behind her shyness to be more affectionate. She has it in her, she just needs a human willing to give her time and space for her to come out of her shell.
Mary is a beautiful kitten who likes to play and keep busy with her roommates. She is, however, extremely introvert with humans.
Mary is such a sweet and kind soul. She just requires a bit of work to build her confidence. She is initially really skittish and runs away from the volunteers, but she can be easily bribed with treats and wet food into accepting pets. Then she remembers she likes attention so she stays close by.
We would like Mary to go to a mature and quiet household where she can be given the confidence boost she needs while being in a safe environment. She would benefit of having a friend who she can play with.
‘Michi’ is a barn kitty that has melted the hearts of the volunteers with her silliness and progress. She is named after the state because of her polydactyl paws!
Michigan is still a bit feral, but enjoys pets, treats and game time. She likes to be surrounded by friends she can play ball with and likes the attention of the volunteers.
We are hoping for a house where she can finish to develop her social skills in an environment that allows her to both socialize while having space for herself.
Apply for Michi if you are ready for orange cativities while in a calm household!
Neveah, her mother and sibling were rescued 5 years ago. Her mom and sister have been since adopted, but Neveah keeps waiting for her family.
She is a classy lady and a beautiful cat. She has a fancy classic tabby coat. She is initially shy, but warms up after a couple of visits.
She loves treats and pets on the head. Sometimes she lets you know you are moving too fast, but nothing too mean. She plays a little, but she is mostly a couch potato.
She is okay with cats around her, but rathers be the center of attention. We do not know how she would react with children. We want to find her a home where there is a laid back cat or just her. We are sure that she will open up in no time and would love to see if she is even more lovable!
Looking for a big orange boy with an even bigger heart? Meet Simba – an 18-pound buff-colored sweetheart who’s equal parts cuddly, quirky, and charming! This 2½-year-old lap-lover is all about attention (he’ll let you know with his adorable chatter) and dreams of a forever home where he can soak up all the love.
Simba’s got a bit of a tough-guy nickname (“Bruiser” or “Dude” – and yes, he comes when called), but underneath that majestic floof is a total softie. He’s got excellent litter box manners, and will win you over with his quirky little head tilt – a harmless mystery that only adds to his irresistible charm!
He’s playful, affectionate, and loves toys, but when it comes to other animals, he’s still learning the ropes – he’s a bit picky about feline roommates and may do best as your one-and-only furry king. Dogs? He’s warming up to them!
Simba is indoor-only, perfectly content inside, and just waiting for his throne – aka your lap.
Ready to add a little extra love (and a lot of fluff) to your life? Come meet Simba and let this lovable “Dude” steal your heart!
Timmy and his sister Tory are barn cats who were shy, yet so sweet. Timmy was a courageous and curious guy since his arrival and never shies away from a good butt scratch.
Tim is initially wary to approach or be approached by strangers, but once he feels acquainted he likes to sniff, rub and play with people. He’s a petite guy, but he is REALLY motivated by food and will eat his weight if allowed. Treats are his specialty and his dream is to get to taste all kind of flavors.
He is a nice cat for couples, families or single households. He gets along well with everyone and we wouldn’t be surprised if he gets along with dogs. Although we do not know this for sure.
Apply for Timothy Lancelot Angus III if you would like to get to know this handsome baby.
Tory and her brother Timmy arrived as barn kitties and have, by far, exceeded their human association goals.
Tory is such a sweet girl! She is a petite cat, has very expressive eyes and a rather unique coat. We don’t know her voice yet because she’s really shy, but she truly enjoys and seeks attention from her favorite volunteers. She likes to be pet and likes her wet food.
She needs work in terms of building confidence around new people and loud sounds. We would like a household with quiet environment and another cat so she can build a positive association with new environments while feeling accompanied.
We totally meant to call a female cat “Toulouse”… She was really small.
Her name worked out because Toulouse likes to put up a “tough guy” act when she gets approached, just like the character from the movie, but she is “all hiss no scratch” (?).
Toulouse is the baby of the family which probably is the reason she grew up with the need of putting the tough act. She is still really skittish and hides away from the volunteers. With this being said, she is trainable and approachable. She is not violent nor reactive. She is shy because she is scared of humans and bigger cats around her probably pushed her around as a younger kitten.
She is really young, so with the proper training, she can leave this shy phase behind. We want her to go to a house with another cat she can bond with and develop a support system while she gets used to nice humans. We believe in baby Toulouse, so should you.
Our cat adoption program focuses on adult feral and barn cats rehab
We usually do not have kittens. Sometimes our young cats require a lot of work.
