Female, DSH Dilute Torti, Approx DOB 11/5/2016, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Maya is a super sweet and playful girl. She has been looking for a good home for a while and would love a human of her own to cuddle with. She gets along well with other cats provided a proper introduction. She has been an amazing foster mom to many kittens in her time with our rescue.
**Maya's granddaughter, Mayra, would do best being kept with Maya. **
Female, DSH Dilute Torti, Approx DOB 4/15/2021, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Mayra is a sweet girl that tends to be a bit shy, but she loves to talk. She is very playful and gets along well with other cats given a chance to get to know them. She would really do best staying with her grandmother, Maya. Mayra had a rather rough start to life after being exposed to feline herpes while living in a feral cat colony in Detroit. We successfully treated her double eye infection and the scarring that was caused by the virus. Despite her healing, she does tend to be a bit shy after all she has been through. She will need an understanding and quiet home to really come out of her shell.

Male, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 5/11/2022, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Carter is an incredibly sweet and playful boy that loves all cats he meets. He loves to snuggle, get pets, enjoys the occasional belly rub, and absolutely cannot live without his favorite spring toy. Carter would do amazingly well if adopted with Linus as they have become quite the bonded pair.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 5/11/2022, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.

Lark is a very sweet boy once he warms up to you. He loves to play, get belly rubs, and does super well with Jasper. He got his start outside as a kitten born to a feral mom cat, so he was spicy when we trapped him. It has taken time, but he has warmed up nicely. Lark unfortunately dealt with stomatitis, so he had to have all of his teeth removed, but he is doing wonderful and is ready for his new home! Toothless and perfect!
Male, DSH Orange Tabby, Approx DOB 5/22/2022, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.

Riley is a very shy girl that will need a lot of time to warm up. She needs an understanding home that will allow her the time to settle in. She had a rough start to life, but we believe she deserves the chance to have a loving forever home. She would do best partnered with her brother, Grayson, or her sister, Willow.
Female, DSH Orange Tabby, Approx DOB 5/22/2022, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Willow is a very sweet girl that tends to be a bit shy. She is the coveted and not so common orange tabby female, and she would make a great addition to a quiet home where she has time to settle in. She would do best partnered with one of her siblings, Grayson or Riley. Give this girl a big window with lots of bird watching activity and she'll be happy!
Male, DSH Black, Approx DOB 5/1/2021, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Bear is a very sweet boy that is a tad shy. Given time to warm up, he is amazingly sweet, loves pets, and is super playful. He gets along well with other cats, including his sister Remi and his buddies, Lark and Jasper.
Female, DSH Black, Approx DOB 5/1/2021, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Remi is a very shy girl that warms up with time. She loves treats, toys, and pets on her own terms. She is very bonded with her brother, Bear. Her and her siblings had a rough start at a colony in Detroit and have taken time to warm up in their foster home. She would do best with her brother in a quiet home.
Female, DSH Gray, Approx DOB 5/1/2021, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative. (Gray girl in the front.)
)Emmy is a very, very shy girl that will need a lot of time to warm up in a quiet and understanding home. She would do best kept with one of her siblings (Remi or Bear)
Emmy is a very, very timid girl that would do best in a quiet and understanding home with one of her siblings. Emmy is talkative and accepts some pets on her own terms. She has been the slowest to warm up in her litter, but we have faith that she will come around beautifully with time.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 5/7/2021, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Ellie is a quiet and shy girl that loves pets and lounging in a big window to do her favorite thing- bird watching! Ellie gets along well with other cats, but she hasn't become attached to any specific one, so we feel she would do well as a single cat or paired with an existing cat. She's a very sweet and gentle girl.
Female, DSH Torti, Approx DOB 7/5/2018, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Nova is a sweet girl and sister to Isla. Both girls came from a rough situation where their previous owner was unable to take care of them. Several cats were breeding out of control. Nova came to us with a head tilt that was likely due to a previous infection. Despite her permanent head tilt, which we do think makes her quite unique and cute, it doesn't cause her any issues. She plays normally. She loves pets and to snuggle on her own terms. She is a torti after all... She doesn't seem to care much for kittens, so we believe she would do best on her own or paired with her sister, Isla.
Female, DSH Tabico/Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 7/5/2018, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Isla is a very sweet yet shy girl that is believed to be related to/the sister of Nova. Isla has had a tough life and is beyond ready to live out her years in her forever home. Isla is believed to have been exposed to or had a previous calicivirus infection that ravaged her mouth and left all of her teeth to decay. She has had two dental surgeries to completely remove all of her teeth. She has completely healed from her surgeries and is doing wonderfully. She will need soft cat food for the rest of her life, despite eating hard kibble at times, but this does not change much about her being a normal cat. She loves to be held and snuggle on her own terms. She will take some time to warm up to new people, so an understanding, patient, and quiet home would be best. Best paired with her sister, Nova, or adopted as an only cat.
Male, DSH Brown & White Tabby, Approx DOB 6/28/2023, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Lukas is a very sweet boy that loves to play. He is quite talkative and has no problem telling you what he thinks. He gets along well with other cats, and he would do well paired with his brother, Binx. Binx and Lukas are from the same litter and get along great. Binx tends to be more laid back and cuddly while Lukas is a wild man that loves to zoom around the house and play. He does have a very playful side, yet Lukas enjoys love.
Male, DSH Black with small white patch on chest, Approx DOB 6/28/2023, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative. (On the right.)
Binx is one sweet love bug of a boy! He is a major snuggler, loves all sorts of love via pets, belly rubs, and snuggles. He begs for older adult cats to groom him, despite some absolutely refusing. He seeks the mom comforts of other cats, especially females, after having to be separated from his mom at a young age. Binx and Lukas are from the same litter and get along great. Binx tends to be more laid back and cuddly while Lukas is a wild man that loves to zoom around the house and play. He does have a very playful side, yet this boy sure does love to be loved on.
Male, DSH Brown & White Tabby, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Fitz is a very sweet boy that just needs time to warm up to new people. Fitz came to us in a group of kittens from a colony in the country. Unfortunately, his mom was killed by a coyote, and he was found after the fact in a field near her body. He has taken longer to come around than the other kittens, but he has made great progress and loves love. He lives up to his namesake, Mr. Darcy. He has gorgeous eyes, soft fur, and he is a major flirt. He loves pets and kisses on his own terms, and we absolutely believe he will continue to warm up with time. He loves crunchy treats and toys.
Male, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Neutered, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative!
Bingley is the brother to Lydia. He is an incredibly sweet boy that loves love. He absolutely cannot give enough hugs and kisses. When we say sweet, we mean SWEET! This boy will make your teeth hurt he is so sweet. He loves to hug you around your neck and tends to climb up onto your shoulder as if he were a scarf. It's pretty comical. He will try to give you kisses on your face and meows with his sweet little voice. He is also very playful and gets some mad zoomies at any time of day of night. If you are looking for a love bug of a boy that loves to play and gets along well with other cats, Bingley is your boy! He would do best with his sister, Lydia, Fitz or Lukas. *Like his sister, Bingley had a mycoplasma felis infection, but he did not have any long-lasting neurological issues. *
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative. re to a mycoplasma felis infection that caused neurological issues. She is doing wonderfully now, but our vet cannot rule out issues in the future as she is believed to be a lifelong carrier. She gets along well with other cats, especially her brother.
Female, DSH Black, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Lizzie is a sweet and playful girl that wants love, but she is independent. She gets along wonderfully with other cats, especially Binx. She loves bird watching from a big window and chasing around face mice toys. She will let you know when her food bowl needs to be refilled and is an avid lover of crunchy treats. She loves to snuggle on her own terms, but she freely accepts lots of pets.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB 6/11/2023, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Jane is incredibly sweet and loves attention! She actually demands a lot of it. If you are looking for a very loving and playful kitten, Jane is your girl! She gets along well with most cats, although she does tend to hiss and growl at a few. She would do well paired with a kitten her age or with Lukas or Lizzie.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB TBD, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative. (Tabby on the left.)
Morgan is a sweet but very timid girl. She will need an understanding home that will allow her the time to warm up fully and feel safe. Her and her brother, Casey, came from a country colony where cats were being abandoned along a rural road. She does well with other cats, and loves to play with Sienna, but we feel it would be best to keep her paired with her brother, Casey. She loves to play and snuggle with other cats. She does deal with some sneezing that we believe is due to being exposed to feline herpes virus in her colony. This just means that she may have future issues with recurrent URI's and will need daily supplementation with L-Lysine.
Female, DSH Brown Tabby, Approx DOB TBD, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Casey is a timid and sweet boy that will need time to warm up to new people. He does well with other cats, but we feel it would be best to keep him paired with his sister, Morgan. He loves to play, watch birds in the window, and snuggle up in a cozy cat tree. Like his sister, he was also exposed to the feline herpes virus and tends to sneeze. He is more prone to URI's, so we highly recommend daily supplementation of L-Lysine to lower his chances. Cats living with the virus, which is very common, can and do live a long and healthy life. (Despite our practice of and recommendation of yearly FVRCP vaccines for cats, cats can still be exposed to and contract feline herpes. It is unfortunate, but it is not something that should prevent a cat from being adopted and living a long and healthy life. We have a lot of experience with these cats and the virus and will gladly share our knowledge.)
Female, DSH Gray Tabby, Approx DOB 8/6/2023, Spayed, Rabies and FVRCP vaccinated, FELV/FIV negative.
Sienna is incredibly sweet with a side of sassy. She loves to play, but she also loves to snuggle. She is very small for her age, and we don't believe she will get much bigger. She's around the size of a 16-week-old kitten. She was the only survivor of her litter from a managed colony of ours. Sienna is high energy and loves to play with her two buddies from her colony, Morgan and Casey, but she gets along well with other cats in general. She would do best with a kitten her age.

Nina is a sweet girl once she warms up to you. However, we believe she was abused by a female, and then, abandoned in Detroit. We found her starving and freezing near one of our managed colonies. She doesn't do so well with females, unfortunately, so she would really do best in a home with a male human companion. She also does not do well with other cats, despite our best efforts to introduce her to them several times. She does tend to bite as a form of defending herself. She loves pets on her own terms, preferably when her human is laying down with her as she becomes defensive when anyone stands over her, and she loves crunchy treats, like, temptations. We would NOT recommend that she lives with children. Adult only home. A quiet home would be best where she can bird watch and relax.
