Prince is a handsome gray fluffy short-haired kitten with a heart as soft as his fur. This sweet little boy came to us as an orphaned, sickly singleton, but he has blossomed into a happy, healthy kitten full of love. Raised alongside bottle-baby kittens, Prince developed the affectionate, people-oriented personality that bottle babies are known for. He adores cuddles, purrs endlessly, and is always ready to soak up attention from his favorite humans. Prince is a gentle, loving companion who will happily curl up beside you and fill your home with affection. If you're looking for a kitten who loves to be loved, Prince is your perfect little prince. 👑🐾

A HUGE THANK YOU to the employees from Texas Roadhouse - Portage who came out for a volunteer day today and helped us with the first step of our landscape project! They worked hard hauling old bushes, digging out some grass and weeds in the front garden area, and helping us get it all leveled for what comes next! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for what we have planned for our shelter landscaping!

Ok, we know it’s officially summer but we still have spring cleanup to do at the shelter! We’re not procrastinators, we’ve just been busy with kittens and puppies!
Our shelter will be CLOSED Wednesday 6/24. We’ll return to our normal shelter hours on Friday.

We know hot summer temps result in extra water consumption, but our can/bottle volunteers wanted to remind everyone that water bottles and any Non-carbonated/Non-sparkling drinks are not eligible for MI 10cent returns.
We appreciate your can/bottle donations so much! We will recycle all of this that was received yesterday by filling some recycle bins at a volunteer’s home, but please know that the rescue does not have a way to recycle all this.
Thank you!
