OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM THE MINISTRY OF MEOW
It has come to our attention that the Sorting Hat may have made an error.
Lady Sally(zar) Slytherin was sorted into Slytherin, but let the record show she is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart of gold (and the softest paws in the wizarding world).
Read more about Sally Slytherin
She’s always up for a good play session, with feather wands, crinkle balls, and the occasional zoomies down the hallway. But when things get to be a bit much, she quietly disappears to the highest perch in the house, where she can watch over everything with those big, wise eyes.
Sweet and innocent? Or is she silently orchestrating the whole household from above?
Honestly, we’re not ruling out that this is all part of the plan.
Mischief managed.

A Step-by-step guide for prospective adopters Complete the Adoption Application Once you’ve identified an animal(s) you’re interested in, please fill out our adoption application. This helps us understand your home, lifestyle, and expectations so we can ensure a safe, appropriate match. Speak With an Adoption Team Member for Meet & Greet Once your application is approved, a team member will reach to discuss the animal’s needs, your household, and any questions you may have. If you haven’t yet spent time with the animal, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet. This is your chance to interact, observe behavior, and make sure the connection feels right. Review and Sign the Adoption Agreement If the match is approved, we will walk you through the Adoption Agreement. This document outlines care expectations, veterinary requirements, and the shared commitment between you and Maybel’s Legacy. If the animal is not yet ready for adoption we will allow you to complete an intent to adopt that will allow us to hold this animal for you until they are ready with the collection of the adoption fee. Set up the Date to Finalize We do not like to send our babies directly home with the adopter post-op. Post-op stress is hard enough; adapting to a new environment just adds stress.

Adopting a cat in Grand Rapids
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
