Available Kitties:
|
|
Goose- approx 11 years
Goose came to us with a group of other FIV+ kitties almost three years ago. Don’t let his age fool you though, this guy still thinks he’s a kitten. Sometimes he gets the zoomies and can be seen running around the cafe! After he gets that energy out, he does love to settle down and snuggle up for some chin scratches. He’s not a huge fan of other kitties but doesn’t seem to mind them as long as them give him his space. He’s a handsome good boy who’s really sweet once you get to know him! He is toothless, and FIV positive, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live a full and happy life (you can read more about FIV here). Adoption Fee: $80 |

Gretchen - approx 15 years (with foster)
Gretchen is a beautiful senior lady, fun and with a sassy side! She prefers things to be on her terms and you will then be rewarded with her affection. Some call this “Tortie-tude”! But, after 15 yrs she just knows what she likes and what she wants. Nothing wrong with that! She will blossom in an environment that is quiet & stress free, has adults or respectful older children, and allows for window watching & lounging. A gentle approach and allowing her to bond on her own timing is key. She will thrive in a home setting with a patient and loving human as an only kitty. Will this human be you?! She eats special sensitive tummy food and takes a daily supplement - so she's living with a foster but if you're interested in meeting this sweet lady - contact us MEOW! Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications to meet Ol' Gretch! |

|
Hamilton Babies - approx 2 years
Eliza (B/W, black nose), Peggy (B/W), Lawrence (orange/white), Lafayette (ADOPTED) and Aaron Purr (ADOPTED) are some friends from another rescue (they were all rescued from the same area). They are still learning to trust us humans, but have already come a long way! Lawrence loves to play, and the girls, Eliza and Peggy, are always snuggling up together! Any of these guys would do well in a quiet home where they can learn to trust and let their purrsonalities truly blossom! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Daddy Blackberry - approx 1 year (COMING SOON!)
It was by complete coincidence that Daddy Blackberry (short hair) and Figaro (ADOPTED) ended up in the same foster home at the same time - but these guys became BEST buds! Daddy was terrified when he first came to us, he didn't move much, and he didn't really like getting pet... but when Figaro came along, Daddy decided he wanted to be friends and his confidence grew 10 fold! Now they are inseparable and Daddy loves to cuddle and get pets too! Figaro has been with us since he was a baby and has had some medical issues. He is on some medications but is doing great. On occasion, he gets himself worked up and it makes him have trouble breathing - but he knows how to calm himself down! He just needs to take a break and be calm. These guys would LOVE to find a home together, ask us about them today!! Adoption Fee: $100 each |
|
|
Folklore Babies - approx 2 years
The Folklore Babies— James Bean (slightly floofy black, M), Betty (black, F) and August (black/white, F) —came to us when the family who had been feeding their mama caught James thinking their mama had been hit by a car. We offered to help trap his sisters, and the first cat we trapped was their mama! The whole family is very shy and has been with their foster mama for months adjusting to life inside with humans. Jamesy is the most social of the kittens—he wants to be brave so bad, and picks up on the behaviors of the cats around him. He is the BIGGEST mama’s boy ever (seriously), and he loves to chew on a good cardboard box! August is a bit more shy but LOVES a good churu and likes to talk with her foster mama when she’s in a good mood. Betty is the spiciest bean, but she loves her family and has gotten more brave as she got more comfortable. They would love to find a calm, patient forever home with other kitty friends! Adoption Fee: $100 each |
|
|
Dorothea - approx 5 years
Mama Dorothea is the mama of the Folklore babies. She came to us when the family who had been taking care of her as an outdoor feral cat for years reached out to us for help with her kittens and we caught her first! Turns out, she’s only semi-feral and just didn’t like their dogs. They hadn’t been able to catch her for long enough to get her spayed, so she kept having litters of kittens that they were finding homes for—now she’s done having babies and is learning to relax around humans! She is the most tolerant mama ever to her babies, letting them snuggle all over her even now that they’re as big as she is. Her one ear is permanently crinkled—likely due to an old hematoma—but with proper care it doesn’t bother her at all. She likes crunchy treats and will eat them straight out of your hand when she trusts you. She would like a quiet home alone or with one of her babies where she can keep learning to trust people. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Jared - approx 1 year
The Supernaturals, Jared, Jensen (adopted) and Misha (adopted), came to us as small, scared kittens. With help from their foster mamas and some of their foster friends, they’re now outgoing and love human attention! Jared is a gentle giant who came to us as a shy baby just over a year ago with his siblings, Jensen and Misha. This sweet boy has really blossomed at the cafe! He still keeps to himself a lot, napping under blankets on the couch until he decides he wants attention, but when he emerges he is all about belly rubs and being an elevator butt. He’s extremely good with other cats, even letting rambunctious kittens play with him like a toy through the blanket while he naps, and would likely do well with older kids and calm dogs. Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Ruby - approx 1 year
The Deck Babies were named because after their mama (Treasure) was found in a window well, she grabbed one of her babies and ran and hid under the neighbor's deck! It took ALL day to get them out, but we got mama and all her babies back together again. Ruby and her siblings, Opal (ADOPTED), Sapphire (ADOPTED), Citrine (ADOPTED), and Onyx (ADOPTED) are all babies of mama Treasure! They are all super sweet kittens, though they might take a little time to warm up to new people. She would love to be adopted into a home with a friendly cat, or one of her kitten friends! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Mama Flyer - approx 2 years
Mama Flyer came to us when a previous adopter found her in their flower box after she had kittens. She was the best mama to her sweet babies (the Land Before Time kittens) and is the sweetest girl herself. She is still a bit shy but has been slowly coming out of her shell with her foster mama and really loves a good butt scratch. She seems unbothered by other cats and would do good in a quiet home with someone that will give her time and patience to bloom. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Tails - approx 1 year (with foster)
Tails was rescued by a good Samaritan on the side of the road. He suffered a broken pelvis and severe trauma to his tail. After some time on antibiotics our veterinarian removed the part of his tail that was no longer viable. It's about an inch and a half and the skin is still healing. He's a really sweet kitten. Would probably do great in just about any home. Long term it would be best to keep his weight managed due to his pelvis. Adoption Fee: $150 each/ 2 for $250 We are now accepting applications to meet Tails! |
|
|
Baggie - approx 4 years
Baggie was brought to us by a concerned citizen who thought she was a plastic bag when she saw her get hit by a car! She appeared to have some road rash on her face and was luckily ok otherwise... She's very happy to be warm and safe now, and won't stop making biscuits! She's a little hissy with new cat friends, but fine with her small foster dog friends. She's sweet, and quiet, and would love a calm, loving home. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
A-A-Ron - approx 1 year
A-A-Ron was rescued from a parking lot as a young kitten after a canned food snack and lots of coaxing. He has always been a shy boy but in a small setting he loves all the attention and scratches. He would probably do best in a quieter home with a buddy where he can feel comfortable and have a friend to cuddle with! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Puck - approx 8 years (with foster)
Puck was an outdoor stray feed by a nice couple for several months until they feared he medically needed more care. He had a skin infection and an abscessed tooth when we got him to the vet. After his skin improved and the infection in his mouth was better he had a dental. He's a very nice older boy. He's still acclimating with the other animals in foster but with enough time he should do fine in most homes. Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications to meet Puck! |

The 7 Dwarves! - approx 1 year
The dwarfs are a sweet bunch that were found with their Mama (Snow White, ADOPTED) by a creek in Vicksburg when some nice people were fishing. Doc (Grey/white nose, M), Happy (brown tabby/white, M), Sneezy (ADOPTED), Sleepy (ADOPTED), Grumpy (ADOPTED), Dopey (grey/white F- BE RIGHT BACK!) and Bashful (grey/white F) are all silly, active, sweet kitties who would love a home with a kitty friend!

Lemon - approx 1 year (BRB)
Yuzu (buff/white, M, ADOPTED) is good boy, although a little shy. He's a great play buddy but likes to be the dominant one. He also gets along well with small dogs. Lemon (orange/white, M) is the shyest boy of litter. He likes slow pets and loves to play, and he would do best in a quiet, calmer home with a patient person/family. Adoption Fee: $150 each/ 2 for $250 |
|
|
Rodger Mac - approx 12 years (with foster)
Rodger Mac was found trapped under someone's home and unable to walk. We got him straight to the vet and he stayed for a few days so we could assess what was going on with him. We thought he was paralyzed, and weren't sure how his quality of life would be, but after a while in his foster home, he began to try and get up and walk around! He's still a little wobbly - but can get around just fine now, it's amazing! Rodger Mac can only eat pate soft food due to some regurgitation issues, and he is on a daily medication for hyperthyroidism, but he's such a good boy and after his recheck the vet said his levels looked great! Now that we've figured out what's going on with him, he is ready for a special forever home! Apply today to meet this sweet special guy! Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications to meet Rodger Mac! |

|
Grandpa T - approx 16 years
Grandpa T (aka Pa T or Gramps) is a sweet senior fellow who came to us from another rescue after he was relinquished because his family was moving... this guy needs a second chance at a real forever home! He likes head scritches and will give you kisses and head butts when he's happy! On occasion, he likes using your shoulders as his own personal cat tree. He can often be found on the top of the cat perch by the desk in the cafe. He has claimed it as his own and is not afraid to tell the other kitties to move out of his spot! He can get overstimulated with too much activity or attention, but he'll tell you when he's had enough. Gramps tolerates other cats at the cafe as long as they give him space, but he would like love to have a home all to himself. He would do best in a quiet home without small children. Gramps is FIV positive (you can read more about FIV here) but that doesn't affect his day to day life! Adoption Fee: $80 each |
|
|
Fluffy - approx 3 years
In the year that they have been at the cafe, Jake (grey tabby, ADOPTED) and Fluffy (grey/white, M) have become more comfortable and we have been able to see a little more of their personalities. Both Jake and Fluffy are pretty chill guys who love to snuggle and play. Fluffy can often be found with his best bud James Bean (also up for adoption!) snuggled up next to him or following him around. Fluffy would do well in a quiet home with a buddy where he can be comfortable, he just needs somebody to give him a chance! Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Caddy & Royce - approx 1 year
The biker babies came to us when a good Samaritan found one of the babies by herself in a parking lot at just a few days old. We went out and got the rest of her family—including mama!—from where their smart mama had hidden them from the elements inside the cover of an unused motorcycle. Tesla (ADOPTED) was the first baby we got and the most independent, if a bit shy. Tes likes a good comfy bed and snuggling with her siblings. Mustang (ADOPTED) is sassy and the more outgoing of the two sisters. Stang is equally happy to snuggle or play depending on what the mood in the foster room is. Bentley (B&W, nose freckle, M, ADOPTED) is the biggest ham. He needs all of the attention all the time, and he’s not the least bit shy asking for it. Cadillac (B&W, M) is the troublemaker of the group. Even when he crawls under the blanket to snuggle, Caddy always wants to chew on toes instead of cuddling calmly. Royce (B&W, M) is the mama’s boy, typically preferring to follow Mama Harley and snuggle with her even when she wants her space! They’d love to find homes with kitty friends to snuggle pile with! Adoption Fee: $100 each |
|
|
Hector - approx 4 years
Hector was pulled from the shelter after he tested FIV positive (you can read more about FIV here). This guy came to the shelter as an owner release when the person had too many cats. He is as playful as a kitten but also a good napper. After several antibiotics, x-rays and a sinus flush with culture we believe he has chronic rhinitis. Which means he sneezes and routinely has boogers. An inconvenience but not a reason for him to to not find a forever home. He is a sweet boy. Loves his cat friends of any age, non-dominant and likes the small dogs in his foster. Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Lotus- approx 1 year
Dandelion (ADOPTED) and Lotus are sisters who love to play, and they mellow each other out when it's time for cuddles! Lotus has been having a tough time at the cafe lately, so she's hanging out in the office - but feel free to ask our staff if you want to meet her and give her some treats :) She would thrive in her very own forever home, she is super sweet, very affectionate, LOVES treats, and will headbutt anyone who gives her some love in return! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Angel - approx 5 years (with foster)
If you take black and white photos of all your human children, Angel is already ready to go! As a black cat, she's prone to get passed over so I wanted to showcase how majestic this chubby black panther photographs. Angel plays with toys, cuddles, approaches people first, and her first love is food. She was abandoned at a house when her owners moved out, and knew terrors I may never know. She has no interest in ever going outside again, and has a hard time trusting other animals to be in her bubble, but she is ready to be a princess and your family's best friend. Adoption Fee: $80 We are now accepting applications to meet Angel! |
|
|
Paulin - approx 3 years
Paulin (name negotiable!), is a ham of a cat. He spends most of his time meowing at his people, following them around the house, and loving every cat he meets. He came from a home that was less than ideal and didn't take the best care of his needs. He's forgiven and forgotten though and is pretty low-maintenance. He just wants to be scratched (all the time, but only the correct way!), and be with his people always. He lives in a home with plenty of other cats and large dogs, and he's not too mindful of the dogs when they're quiet, and doesn't have a single cat enemy. He's pretty happy and easygoing as long as he gets attention when possible, has a clean box, and food. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Parker - approx 1 year (with foster)
This is Richard Parker (those of you who have read "The Life of Pi" will understand, if not, read it!) Parker is a super affectionate boy who makes friends hard and fast with other cats, but is also very particular on who deserves to share his space. He tends to sway more towards kittens for friends and is a great "big brother" figure. He is extremely outgoing, friendly and cuddly. He follows his people everywhere, cuddles with them often and has no problem being persistent if he isn't getting what he needs. He's a couple years old and neutered, tested negative, and up for adoption with the help of the Kzoo Cat Cafe (I foster for this phenomenal rescue, but he lives with me!) Parker also plays with toys and has no negative issues other than being a little pushy with some cat friends and he prefers not to be picked up too often(but who does?!) Adoption Fee: $100 We are now accepting applications to meet Parker! |
|
|
Freddie & Mercury - approx 10 years (with foster)
These big ol' boys are Freddie & Mercury - they were unfortunately returned to the cafe after being adopted in 2019 due to the owners living situation changing. They are THE LITERAL SWEETEST boys... Nothing but headbutts, big purrs and biscuits with these two. They have been through so much and would love to find a forever home together. They are both front declawed, and Mercury lost an eye a long time ago, but it doesn't slow him down at all! Consider these sweet loving boys for your fur family! Adoption Fee: $100 We are now accepting applications to meet Freddie and Mercury! |
|
|
Gemma - approx 8 years
Gemma's owner passed away leaving Gemma and another cat in the home without a safe place to land. She's around 8 years old and 16 pounds. She's super sweet and loves her people but in the past has preferred other cats to stay at a distance. She loved her other cat friend in her original home but he sadly passed of a broken heart after his owner. Slow intros and she would probably do just fine in a calmer home. She has a little calico attitude at times. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Isabelle - approx 1 year
Isabelle came to us when someone watched her get dumped off near a wooded area from a vehicle. She was covered in ticks and extremely thin. She had to be hospitalized a few days to get her on the right track to feeling better. She finally started on the path to health after being spayed (no infection in her uterus but it was also not normal). She does fine with other cats as long as they are not a bully. She is easily bullied. She's very quiet and sweet. She has also lived with small dogs. Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Bronco - approx 2 years
Bronco came to us from a kind family that saved him from being put outside from his previous owner. Bronco has cerebellar hypoplasia. His symptoms are between mild and moderate. He walks with shaky and over exaggerated movements. He might fall on occasion but he compensates for his CH very well. CH kitties do best with a one story home or where stairs in the home can be blocked so they don't injure themselves. You will know it's him by his super cute pineapple collar and wobble! Bronco is super sweet! He loves attention and to snuggle, and he's a social eater. He has lived with large dogs and cats. Adoption Fee: $80 |
|
|
Rosie - approx 2 years
Rosie is a playful girl, she plays with other cats, and gets along with small dogs. She sometimes likes to find a good lap to cuddle in, and would do well in a calmer home with friends that give her confidence! She is very sweet and low-key. Adoption Fee: $80 |

Ramsay - approx 1 year
Ramsay is a petite shy girl with no teeth! She's been through a lot in her life. She came to us pretty sick as a tiny kitten...

Her foster noticed she likes to bond with mother figure cats, and is fine with small dogs. Her favorite toy...? The floppy fish!! Adoption Fee: $100 |
|
|
Benny - approx 6 months
The Rent babies Angel (ADOPTED), Pookie (ADOPTED), Benny (gray/white tabby male), Moe (ADOPTED), Joe (ADOPTION PENDING), and Finnley (ADOPTION PENDING) are the babies of Mimi (adopted), the tiny tabby who came to us pregnant in early June. These babies were born into foster and have always been comfortable around people and other animals, including dogs. Moe, Joe, and Benny are the snuggle bugs of the group. These boys love snuggles and pets and will jump on you and demand attention. Favorite toys of the group include string toys and literally anything small they can carry around and use to play "keep away" from their siblings. Because these kittens are still so young, they have a lot of energy and need to be adopted with another friend their age. Adoption Fee: $150 each/ 2 for $250 |
|

Tucker - approx 16 years (BE RIGHT BACK!)
Tucker is a sweet older gentleman who loves cuddles and getting attention from him favorite people!

Mama Chai and bb Cider - approx 3 years/6mo
We were contacted by one of our vets when Mama Chai and her baby, Cider (COMING SOON) were scheduled for euthanasia by their owner because they allegedly "didn't get along" with their other cat. Of course we agreed to take them in, and Mama Chai is nothing but sweet, and couldn't care less about the other kitties around her. She is a little skittish at first, but when she's familiar with you and you move slow, she loves getting pet, and will headbutt you and love on you. She loves looking out the window, and playing with string toys, and would love a chill, safe, forever home of her own. Adoption Fee: $80/$150 |
|
|
Oogie Boogie - approx 5 months (COMING SOON)
Oogie Boogie from the Nightmare before Christmas group is growing as fast as he is sweet. He's a soft spoken guy that needs a little convincing to come out of his corner, but never minds a good snuggle once he trusts his people.

Mae has quite the voice and loves to chat about her day and snuggle with her foster parents. She can be a little sassy when meeting other kitties but usually doesn’t mind them after a bit.

They have all come super far with their foster but still maybe extra shy until they get comfortable in their surroundings. Ice loves butt scratches and can be a little bit on the sassy side with new kitties. Her brother Boom is really a social butterfly when it comes to other cats and has recently started loving to snuggle in bed with his foster mama. Chum is a sweet petite little girl. She is pretty social with other cats and is very food motivated which her foster mom used to bring her out of her shell. Nile is the shyest of the shy guys still. He was found stranded on a cement slab in the canal of the Kalamazoo River. Slow and steady is the best way to approach him. He isn’t a big fan of top head scratches but will melt for some chins scratches. These guys would all do great in any house that would give them the time and patience to come out of their shells and show their true personalities. Adoption Fee: $100 each |
