This is Thumbelina (Torbie) and Cornelius (White & Gray) BFF’s, up for adoption together! Thumbelina is a polydactyl, which means she has extra toes on all her feet- that’s why we named her Thumbelina! To keep in theme with her name, we named her BFF Cornelius, after Prince Cornelius from the animation “Thumbelina!” If you’re a fan of the 1994 film Thumbelina, then I know you’re swooning over their names!

Our sweet girl Thumbelina (who we have nicknamed “Thumbie”) came to Pet Angel as the first kitten of the season earlier this year as just a tiny thing, after she was thrown from a car. She had road rash on her face when we first got her, but that’s a thing of the past now! When Thumbelina went to get fixed, she liked to play with her stitches and ended up ripping them out. She ended up getting an infection, and had to stay in isolation extra long. This was back when she was about 6 months old, so it’s all ancient history now! Today, Thumbelina is our most outgoing cat in the whole rescue! She loves people so much, she is always talking to everyone! She begs you to come give her attention and purrs the whole time you’re with her! She looooves to run on her cat wheel, play with catnip toys, and loves to wrestle with Cornelius! She likes to drink from her cat water fountain, and is very treat motivated! I think her future owner could teach her to do tricks using cat treats one day! For this duo, Thumbelina is the leader and Cornelius follows her lead!

Cornelius (who we affectionately nicknamed “Cornie”) was transferred to Pet Angel from Bay County Animal Control. All of his littermates had been adopted at BCAC, and he was not doing well being a single kitten. He was suddenly becoming very recluse as a single cat, so he came to join Thumbelina as her partner! Cornelius LOVED Thumbelina from the moment he met her! He LEPT out of his cage, wrapped his paws around her neck, and instantly started kissing her! Cornelius likes to follow Thumbelina around, and always follows her lead! She has really helped him come out of his shell, and show him the world isn’t so scary! Today, Cornelius is still a little stand-off-ish when he first meets you. It takes him a little bit to warm up to you, but once he does, he loves to be pet! He does not like to be picked up though! Cornelius is VIOLENTLY OBSESSED with his circle cat tunnel in his room. He absolutely adores it, and is in it ALL of the time! He is a little shy, but he is such a sweet heart!

Thumbelina and Cornelius are fixed, microchipped, up to date on all their shots, and are both negative for FIV/FELV. They are looking for a strictly indoor-only home, together! They would get along with other cats, or children! We do not think Cornelius would get along with a dog, so they would be best in a home with no dogs.

Meet our 6 Singletons! "Singleton" is the term we use for cats that want to be single pets, meaning they do not get along with other pets and need to be the only pet in the home! Each of our 6 singletons is unique in their own way, and are looking for something special in their next home! Let me tell you about each, sweet soul!

Goo is a 10 year old female who is a quieter soul. She adores attention, and just smothers you in kisses, however, she likes her surroundings to be chill and relaxed. She enjoys sitting on your lap, purrs oh-so loud, and is obsessed with hidey holes! Goo has an allergy to fleas, and as an indoor-only cat, she won't have an issue unless fleas somehow get brought into your home! Our vet recommends Goo stays on monthly topical flea treatment to ensure that she doesn't have the chance of a flea even surviving on her, so she'll never be itchy again! She would thrive in a quiet home where its just her and her owners, and will give you so much love, you won't even know what to do with it!

Vinnie is a 4 year old male who used to be a street cat, but is retiring his outdoor life for a new life as a spoiled house cat. Because of his time outside, he sees other animals as a threat, and is hoping for owners that will let him be the king of their castle! Vinnie loves to play, and likes to rough house sometimes with his human friends, so he would be best in a home with no young children. He adores toys, loves scratching posts, and is a big fan of running, so he's going to be so excited to explore your home! Here at Pet Angel, Vinnie is board, and has begun over grooming himself. He would love a home with owners that want to play with him, and give him lots of toys for entertainment!

Cookie is a gentle 10 year old female who only likes flat cat beds, and drools when she's happy! Leaning toward the shyer side, she enjoys lounging on her flat cat beds, licking her yeowww toys, or munching on some treats. Cookie's owner passed away, and the family tried to take her to their home, but she was so afraid of their dogs she ended up on a local facebook group, which brought her to us! We got her fully vetted, and now we're looking for a quiet, laid back home for her to call her own! Cookie would not do well in a busy, active, or loud home but would thrive in a chill, lowkey home to call her own! Cookie may hide sometimes when she first gets home, but once she gets to know you, just loves attention- you should hear her tiny meows!

Barbie is a 3 year old female who doesn't let her physical limp stop her from living her life to its fullest! When Barbie first came to us, she thought she was going to have to have her leg amputated after being hit by a car. Luckily, our vet was able to save her leg, but it left Barbie with a permanent limp in her back leg. Fully healed now, Barbie doesn't let her limp stop her. She LOVES to be up high, and climbs to the highest point of the room she lives in at Pet Angel often! The reason Barbie is still with us is because she is a very vocal and somewhat sassy girl. Barbie has never hurt any of us, but she does a lot of hissing and growling when you want her to do something she doesn't want to do. Most people aren't used to being around a cat thats vocal, but we think when the right person finds her and understands her the way we do, they'll fall head over heels in love with her! (Please note, Barbie does not like you to pet by her tail, and needs you to support her back legs if you pick her up, due to her past injury.)

Tinky is a 10 year old female who was diagnosed with a thyroid issue last fall. Tinky is on thyroid medication every morning, we just crush it and put it in a churu (a brand of wet food) for her, and she eats it- no arguments! Tinky is one of the nicests cats we have ever met. She loooooves to talk, and always has something to say! She prefers to be with you, so she'll follow you around, rub up against your legs, and even nibble at you if you're not petting her when she demands the pets! Tinky loves watching bird videos on youtube, so we know she's going to enjoy watching birds out your window! If you're looking for a lover, THIS is your cat! Outside getting medication each day, the only extra care Tinky would require is routine bloodwork once a year to monitor her thyroid issue. Don't let a illness stop you from the sweetest cat you'll ever meet!

Muffin is a 6 year old female who could be described as "a library as a cat." She is a quiet soul, who enjoys her quiet time and her own space. Muffin loves pets, but she prefers her hidey holes and soft beds over anywhere else! She gets nervous around a lot of people, young children, and loud noises (like when the washing machine is running) but when its quiet, she comes out for your pets, attention, treats (she loves treats!) and brushing (Muffin decides when she's done brushing though, sometimes it gets overstimulating!) Muffin doesn't like to be picked up, but when its her idea, she'll settle into your lap and never let you get up! She is hoping for a owner that will build a bond with her, and let her slowly adjust to her new home, as change is hard for her. But her cuteness is irresistible, and you'll fall head over heels in love with her as soon as you get her to purr for the first time! Earning a cats trust is truly one in a million!

All 6 of these singletons are fixed, microchipped, up to date on all of their vaccinations and are negative for FIV/FELV. If you have a home that would fit what they are looking for, we would love to set up a time for you to come and meet them and see if you're the human they've been waiting and praying for!

A local Girl Scout group is collecting donations for adopter kits to donate to local animal rescues (Pet Angel Included) to earn their bronze award! They will be set up at Dog Bowl this weekend collecting items, and also have a venmo available if you're not local to donate funds for the girls to go pick out cat items for the adoption kits! Please consider helping them with their project, so they can make an impact on our cats and future adopters! The girl scouts are scheduled to come to our rescue next month to meet the cats at Pet Angel and donate the kits they create for us to send home with future adopters!
Good Luck, Girls! The Pet Angel cats will see you soon!

Our Amazon wishlist has been updated with some items we need at the rescue! Some items are on the list because we're completely out or running low, and other items are on the list so we can retire out old items and replace them with new ones!
Some items on the list we really could use right now are:
- Churu Wet Food (We have a cat who uses these daily to take her medication! Since she eats one daily, we go through them fast!)
- Pate Wet Cat Food (for adults, our kittens have a stock pile of kitten food!)
- Silver vine Chew Sticks (we have NONE in the rescue right now!)
- 13 gallon trash bags with the draw string (We use these multiple times a day for scooping, which means we go through them often and quickly! We ALWAYS need these, especially right now!)
- Scratching Posts that mount on the cage (these are listed on the wish list, so you don't have to hunt for them! We currently have NO extra's to replace worn ones!)

We have other items on the list too, like beds, tunnels, some office items for use in the office, and even treats for the volunteers too (you can give them a 'thank you' by sending them some candy for the volunteer desk!)

Did you see?! Azalea went up for adoption today!!! Allow us to formally introduce her to you!

Hi, my name is Azalea! I have had a hard past, but am looking forward to a bright and beautiful future!

When I was first found, my eyes were so incredibly infected that the humans who found me thought I didn’t have eyeballs. They were able to catch me and brought me to 4 Paw Vet to get immediate vet attention because again- my eyes were so badly infected my eyeballs were not visible, so they thought I was an eye-less cat. After Dr. Barb was able to treat my eyes for a few weeks and the infection started going away, my eyeballs were revealed and everyone was a little shocked to discover that I actually DO have eyeballs! Once I could see, I instantly started warming up to everyone around me. I stayed at 4 paw vet for months while they nursed me back to health! They spayed me, got me all my vaccines, and tested me with other animals. They discovered that I am EXTREMELY afraid of dogs, so they asked Pet Angel (a cat only rescue, so there are no dogs here) If I could join their rescue to find me a home, and they said yes! So I joined Pet Angel! Upon my arrival to the rescue, I was so afraid I pooped all over myself. But the Angel’s were able to clean me up, and gave me a few weeks to decompress here. Now, I’m doing wonderful and am ready to meet my new family!

I am so, incredibly sweet. In fact, if you could hear the photos of me in this adoption post, you would just hear LOUD purring- because I am always purring when humans come around me! My purrs are so loud, you won’t believe how a petite gal like me can purr this loud! I adore hidey hole beds, and am obsessed with the hammock in my cage! I am a gentle, soft-spoken, quiet girl. I get nervous with fast movements coming toward me, and get a little hesitant when it comes to new surroundings. When there’s a lot going around, I like to retreat to my own space, so I’m hoping to find a quiet home that I can feel calm in all the time! With patience, time, and gentle interactions with humans, I become more confident and comfortable. Moving to my new home will be a little nerve-wracking for me, but Pet Angel will walk my family through out to make it easier for me, and after a few weeks of a slow introduction, you’re going to wonder how you ever lived a life before me!

I am fixed, microchipped, up to date on all my shots, and am negative for FIV/FELV. My eye’s are fully healed and need no extra care moving forward! I am looking for a strictly-indoor only home where there are NO DOGS (and a guarantee there will never be any dogs. Meaning, my future family will not get a dog later during my lifetime. I have been tested with them and will not ever be able to be around a dog.) I also need a home with gentle children over the age of 12, as I have not done well around rambunctious or active children. I would do great in a home as the only cat, or in a home with 1 or 2 other laid-back, relaxed, easy-going cats. If you cat likes to run, play and wrestle- I am not the right match for them.

I am so sweet and gentle and I just know that once we have the chance to meet and begin building a relationship together, you’re going to call me your soul cat. I can’t wait to meet you! If interested in a meet and greet to see if we’re the purrfect fit, please submit an application at https://petangeladoption.com/adopt-a-cat

05/13/2025

On Monday, May 12th, our Volunteers arrived to the rescue for their evening shift to find a mother cat inside a tiny cage next to a blue plastic tote. Inside the tote were her 6 kittens. May 12th was the first day that the temperature in Frankenmuth, where our rescue is located, rose above 80 degrees, and these babies were left in the sun (no shade) inside a plastic tote with no air holes for an unknown amount of time, while their mother sat uncovered in the sunshine, separated from her kittens.

Mother and all 6 kittens- who are all males- are now inside the rescue, and are eating, drinking, acting normal and going potty. We have named the mom Sesame, and all 6 of her babies are named after Sesame Street characters: Elmo, Rocco, Bert, Ernie, Grover and Snuffy! The kittens range in weight from .64 lbs - 1.28 lbs, which suggests they are just around 4 weeks old (with two of them being runts of the litter.) On May 14th (which is the day after I'm writing this,) they have a vet visit, and we will house them until mom weans her kittens, and all 7 cats are able to get fixed. For Sesame, she'll be able to get fixed when her babies are weaned. For the 6 boys, they'll be able to get fixed once they reach 4 lbs. This means these 7 will be in our care for at least the next 3-4 months, minimum.

Our rescue is a specialized rescue that focuses on extra-needs cats, and we are not currently accepting any more animals because we do not have the space or the funds to take on any more cats. But now, Sesame and her 6 babies are in our care, and we are determined to provide her and her litter the love, care and housing that they deserve. We are hoping you will aid us in helping Sesame and her kittens by helping us raise the funds it will cost to fix and vaccinate all 7 cats, as we were not financially prepared for 7 more souls to care for.

Dumping cats outside an animal rescue is animal abandonment. Animal abandonment is not only a crime in the state of Michigan, but is a federal crime. Beyond dumping the cats, leaving the kittens in a plastic tote with no air holes in the hot sunshine is cruel, and if that was done to a human, would be considered attempted murder. Separating a nursing mom from her kittens, who depend on her for survival, is also cruel to both the mother and each kitten. If you have any information about where Sesame and her kittens came from, please contact us directly at 989-652-0552. All reports can be made anonymously. Sesame and her kittens will be cared for, and ultimately will all find their loving forever homes. But the way this person went about surrendering them is not okay, and is animal abuse. Sesame, Elmo, Rocco, Bert, Ernie, Grover and Snuffy are lucky to be alive.

Thank you to our volunteers for taking quick action, and thank YOU for helping us provide for them!

Hello, My name is Graham!
I am a big love bug! I adore pets and attention so much that I drool when you're loving me! I adore getting my big head pet, and I love to sit on your lap! I'm a quiet man, don't really make a lot of noise, and appreciate an environment that's as quiet as me. I enjoy the company of the other quiet cats I live with, and I can't get enough of wet food and treats! My favorite spot is inside my circle cat tunnel, inside my hidey-hut bed, or lounging on top of the fluffiest cat bed in my free-roam room!
Here's the thing about me, though: I have anxiety.
Specifically, I'm anxious about dogs and young children.
I was originally at another animal rescue that also had dogs, and I got so stressed from hearing them bark all the time, that I began to lose all my fur. At first, they thought I was having an allergic reaction, so I went to the vet. After I got out of the environment with the dogs, My hair started growing back! The vet's asked me if Pet Angel could take me, since they're a cat only rescue, and that's when I joined Pet Angel! I moved into the free roam room called Rashas Room, where I live with 4 other cats (sometimes more, but right now, there's just 5 of us in here!) In November, we had some groups bring kiddo's in and while all the other kitties loved the little kids, I ran and hid the whole time. I would do best in a quiet home where little kids aren't around all the time!
I am looking for a home with an owner who wants a BIIIIG LOVE BUG, but also somebody who will understand I have anxiety and will take the introductions to my new home slow. I would do best in a quiet, indoor-only home with strictly no dogs! I would get along great with other cats, but would also do good as a single cat! I would also do well with older children. I have been tested with little kids, and was very afraid.
I am fixed, microchipped, up to date on all my shots and negative for FIV/FELV! If you would like to come meet me and be my new mommy or daddy, please submit an application at https://petangeladoption.com/adopt-a-cat

Pet Angel, Frankenmuth’s cat rescue

In 2004 Pet Angel was founded by 11 little feral kittens that needed saving and bottle feeding all at once! Two neighbors cared for them and soon the word was out and the local vets were calling asking if they could take “just one more”! The neighbors saw the need and Pet Angel was born! After about a year, the one neighbor left the rescue and the other found the current location for the rescue and has continued on the work of caring for the unwanted cats and kittens of the area. Over the years hundreds of volunteers have come to help with the mission and some come and go and some have stayed! Pet Angel wants to welcome you, either as an adoptor or a volunteer, into our family of cat lovers!
