Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Belding, Michigan

Applesauce Male DSH grey and white Estimated DOB 01/2016 In his older age, Applesauce wants nothing more than to be curled up next to you getting pets and purring up a storm. He is very sweet and social and immediately likes anyone that he meets. Even though he may look sad in his photos, he is actually the exact opposite and is ALWAYS happy; he just has sad looking eyes. He loves sleeping on your chest at night and is just an overall great and mellow cat. We seriously cannot express how much of a sweetheart he is! Applesauce has FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), but he is healthy and doing fantastic! He has had comprehensive bloodwork and there were no concerns! Cats with FIV live incredibly happy and long lives just like any other cat can. They can also safely be housed with other cats as long as they get along as FIV is primarily spread via saliva such as through deep bite wounds which we see in severe fights. Thankfully, Applesauce doesn't have a mean bone in his body and was likely infected being outside before he was neutered. Backstory: Applesauce walked up to a foster while she was getting into her car. When she opened her car door, he jumped inside and just meowed at her. Being that it was winter and he was an old guy with numerous little wounds over his body, incredibly underweight, dehydrated, and had a bad upper respiratory infection, she couldn't leave him outside and took him home. Although he was neutered, he did not have a microchip. He was posted on Petco Love Lost in the hopes that maybe he had escaped his home and had been lost outside for a long period of time which would explain the poor condition he was in. Unfortunately, no one reached out. There is the possibility that he was a stray cat that a caretaker had neutered to prevent overpopulation or he may have been dumped outside. Either way, he is in the rescue and getting the much needed care he deserves. He is doing absolutely amazing in his foster home and is learning how luxurious the inside life is where you do not have to worry about freezing temperatures or where your next meal is coming from. Housing: He gets along great with other cats. His foster hasn't encountered any issues with him and her personal adult cats, but out of an abundance of caution, he'd do better with more mellow cats. Additionally, since FIV is primarily spread via saliva such as from deep bite wounds (like intact male cats constantly fighting outside), we would want him to be with other cats who have similiar personalities and get along. He has not been around any adult dogs and has only been around a young puppy for a few hours which he did not mind as they left him completely alone. It's unclear if he'd be okay with adult/larger dogs or dogs that are more energetic and want to interact with him. He likely would do best in a house without young children or in a quieter home because all that comotion and change can cause increased stress in cats which should especially be avoided in FIV positive cats. Even then, it all depends on the specific situation and he would do great in any household as long as it was as stress free as possible. Medical: Because he is FIV positive, he needs a low stress environment, quality food, exams at least yearly, and proactive veterinary care to ensure he stays healthy. Because he has a compromised immune system, he'e not the type of cat that you try the "wait it out" approach if he's sick. Although FIV cats can be more prone to certain medical diseases, they more often than not live completely normal lives compared to their counterparts. As medicine has advanced, we now know that having FIV is not at all a death sentence like it had been treated as previously. These cats live comparable lives to non FIV positive cats and deserve a home and love all the same. We highly recommend finding a veterinarian who is comfortable with and knowledgable about FIV. Depending on their clients, FIV may not be something that every veterinarian sees regularly in their practice, so it can be daunting and they may not be familiar with the most recent guidelines for FIV cats and how they can live normal and healthy lives. You can learn more about FIV through the American Association of Feline Practitioners' Feline Retrovirus Management Guidelines or from the Feline Veterinary Medicine Association's website and brochures such as this one! https://catvets.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/FelineVMA_FeLV-and-FIV-Broch_Web.2.pdf When he was found, he only had around 10 teeth left and they were diseased, so he had a dental extraction to remove the remaining teeth. He may be toothless, but it doesn't affect him at all and he can eat normal dry cat food still (: All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age approriate vaccines (rabies and distemper), microchipped, given flea/tick prevention and dewormer, FIV/FeLV tested, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.

My parents live on a farm where Nala was born! My husband and I wanted to bring our kitten home after getting married, and she’s been a member of the family since 2020. Since she’s been with us, she had to endure moving three times. We believe due to this, she was traumatized and stays to herself. She has claimed (sprayed) her area when first moving into our current place of living which has caused a few accidents since. We now have an infant, and she doesn’t like to come around us as much until he’s asleep. This is the reason we have come to the hard decision to find a home that will give her more comfort and will be able to come around and get the attention she so deserves. She lives to snuggle, and she has her favorite toy that comes with her. She is a chunky little thing, with beautiful eyes.

Willow is a great cat and is very affectionate. We adopted her at 8 weeks old in May of 2020. We have mostly been able to work from home since that time so Willow has received a lot of attention. She loves to snuggle in your lap, especially in the morning and evening hours. She also loves to play with her many animals, loves playing in boxes, and also enjoys games of hide and seek with her owners. Our current schedules and an upcoming move are making it difficult to continue to give Willow the attention she has grown used to. We are hoping for someone to adopt Willow who will be able to continue to provide her with the love and attention she deserves. Please let us know if you think you might be that person. Thank you.
