5. Jack-O-Lantern

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 74 mi from Kalamazoo

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.

Read more about Godric Gryffindor

When he’s not perfecting the fine art of napping in the common room or curling up for a little couch-side magic, Sir Godric can be found practicing his pouncing charms, casting zoomie spells, and fearlessly battling enchanted toys.

His favorite magic? The ability to melt hearts with one snuggle and make you forget all your troubles with a single purr.

Now, this handsome young wizard is ready for his next great adventure… finding a family to call his own!

Could you be the one he’s been waiting for at Platform 9¾? Don’t let this little Gryffindor disappear into the Forbidden Forest! Apply to adopt Sir Godric Gryffindor and give him a happily ever after worthy of the wizarding world.

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.

This photogenic little kitten loves ALL the attention! She enjoys wrestling and playing with her siblings and foster brothers, but once she’s had enough fun, there’s nowhere she’d rather be than curled up with her favorite human.

Wit beyond measure, curiosity without limit, and a very good reason to be named after Hogwarts’ brightest.

10. Sage

Kitten · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 74 mi from Kalamazoo

Hi! My name is Sage and I am almost 3 months old. I am a shy, little kitten that will need a patient, loving home to help me grow out of my shell. I was raised in a foster home with my mom and siblings since I was about three weeks old, but I am still a pretty quiet kitten. Growing up in a foster home helped me get used to living inside a home, and I didn't have to sit in a shelter kennel while I was growing up. I do well with other cats and kittens, and I would do good in a home with children that can respect me! Being held is a little scary at first but then I can get comfortable and will purr.

30. Eli

Adult · Male · Domestic Long Hair / Mixed · 70 mi from Kalamazoo

Eli is as gorgeous as he is sweet and loving. Eli is 4 years old and he is a deaf, albino ragdoll. Yes, you heard me right, he is 4 years old. All kidding aside, Eli was brought to us not because of any behavors he has because of his differences, he was brought to us because he deserved more than his previous people could provide him, and they knew it. They loved him so much they wanted us to find him a home that would love him as much as they did before their lives changed.Eli is a ragdoll, which means he has some soft hair that can shed like crazy, but with that being said, Eli is obsessed with being brushed so as long as you brush him a few times a week, it isn't a huge deal.

Read more about Eli

We have also found that he loves watching water drip, he loves going outside on our catio and watch all the animals outside, and he isn't fond of fans, unless they are blowing things around and then he completely forgets and goes crazy trying to catch whatever is being moved around. Eli is living in a room with other kitties right now and he has been around dogs all his life. As long as the animals around him don't stalk him (since he can't hear them coming), he seems to adjust pretty well!You may find me on our website under "ADOPT

Adopting a cat with children in Kalamazoo

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
