Hi!! I'm Jack O Lantern and I am 9 months old. I am a friendly, affectionate, goofy and talkative guy that LOVES to play! Feather boys, springs, balls, mice, you name it and I will have fun with it! I also like to seek out affection and I really enjoy getting lovins! I will purr and purr and headbutt you for some love! While I do not like to be picked up and held, I will climb onto your lap for some pets when I want to. I also really enjoy looking out the big window and watching the world go by. Loud noises do scare me a bit, but I got some of my shyness from my mama: she is a nervous nelly. However, I am pretty brave and will only hide away from loud things for a short period of time before I come back for more love or play time.

Hi, hi! My name is Butthead and I am 8 years old. I am a sweet boy that can be a little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly! Once we are friends, I will pester you for love and attention! I give the best head butts to let you know I am ready for all the love! I was recently surrendered with six other cats due to our owner passing away. We were mostly kept in the basement for the last few months so seeing so many humans is pretty new to us. Since I am a bigger boy, I am currently losing weight and have been recently groomed to help me feel so much better and like my true self! I do well with other cats and I would thrive best in a home with children that can respect my boundaries due to being an older guy.

Why adopt an adult cat in Kalamazoo
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
