6. Lil Duder
Meet Lil Duder, a classic tiger tabby kitten with a big personality, a unique meow, and an even bigger purr! This little guy is the ultimate mix of playful energy and deep affection. When he isn't tracking birds from the window, wrestling with his foster cat siblings, or self-entertaining with his toys, Lil Duder is showing off his favorite sport: fetch! Toss a toy for him, and he will happily run it down and bring it back for more. He loves following his humans around the house and will chatter right back whenever you talk to him. Once playtime wraps up, he turns into a total cuddle bug who settles in for long, cozy naps with his foster parents while firing up a motor-boat purr you can hear from across the room.

Whether joining a home with playful cat siblings or moving in with a human ready to spoil him rotten, Lil Duder is eager to find a forever family to love. Apply today on the MACS Friends website!

7. Ignatius
Life hasn't always been kind to Iggy. At a young age, he was unjustly thrown out by his previous family and spent six long years surviving on the streets. But if you think that hardened his heart, think again! Iggy beat the odds and emerged as quite literally the most loving cat ever. He has officially retired from the street life and is thoroughly enjoying the perks of luxury indoor living. Has a fierce rivalry with the "Water Monster" (aka the shower). He prefers his life and yours to be strictly dry, thank you very much!

Iggy is FIV positive, but don't let that scary-sounding acronym fool you! FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) simply means he has a slightly weaker immune system. FIV-positive cats can live completely normal, long, and happy lives indoors with good nutrition and regular vet checkups. It is only spread to other cats through deep, severe bite wounds—meaning he can safely live with other gentle, non-aggressive cats, or reign supreme as your one-and-only king. If sounds like your perfect companion, apply today on the MACS Friends Website.
