Sometimes rescue begins with a difficult phone call. A family being evicted reached out to us for help with several cats they could no longer keep. We began with taking those that were spayed and neutered. There were six of them and they simply needed a safe place to go.

Their first stop with us was the vet for vaccines and FeLV/FIV testing. We brought in six cats, and one, Princess, tested positive for FeLV. To be absolutely certain of her result and to protect the rest of the group, our vet recommended a full PCR test for every cat. It was a major expense, but we always choose the path that puts the animals and their future families first, even when it is harder.

The results confirmed that Princess was positive, and the remaining five were completely negative, not even carriers. Princess was moved to a separate space while we search for a special home for her.

The rest of the group has now received their FeLV boosters and are healthy, safe, and ready for their forever families.

At BestPals, we go above and beyond for every animal who comes through our doors. These cats have been through so much, and we are grateful to give them the strong, hopeful start they deserve.

Meet Princess, a beautiful, loving 2 year old fluff ball. This sweet little lady came from a loving home who had to make the impossible decision to give her to us when their living situation unexpectedly changed.

This little Princess comes with a diagnosis of FeLV (feline leukemia), which is a widely misunderstood disease. Although this virus can shorten their lifespan, many cats can live long and healthy lives. Princess is incredibly affectionate and loves a good cuddle. She will need to be a single cat household as FeLV is contagious to other cats through saliva and f***s. This virus also weakens the immune system which can make her susceptible to upper respiratory illnesses.

Although Princess will need a little extra attention, she would make an amazing companion to her person.

How amazing are the new lockers? We just got the ultimate pup upgrade thanks to Girl Scout Troop 4922 of Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore - lockers for our furry residents! This Silver Award Project 2025 was masterminded by three superstars: Madison, Olivia, and Amiya. Our kennel area just got a whole lot brighter and we are obsessed! Plus, we can stash the dogs' favorite stuff safely until they find their forever homes. We're forever grateful for this awesome project. These lockers are going to get major use for years to come! girl scouts of Michigan shore to shore

These 2 sweethearts are coming back to BestPals today because there foster mom is moving out of state.
Please help us find these beautiful siblings a forever home asap!

Duck and Zac, sister brother duo!
Please share!

These two are the sweetest brother sister duo..calm, gentle and happiest when they’re snuggled up together. They’ve been loving life in a home, but their current foster can only keep them for one more week.

We’re urgently looking for either:

❤️ A forever family ready to adopt them together
or

❤️ A new foster home to keep them safe and comfortable

They’re low maintenance, affectionate, and easy to love..just two cozy tabby siblings who deserve to stay together.

Please share to help us find them a home quickly, or apply to foster/adopt through

📍Located in Holland, MI

This!! Meet Blue.
This is what keeps us up at night.
Who will want to foster a 13 yr old pit mix? This boy was raised in a family with 3 kids, 14 yrs old, 8 yrs old and a new baby about 7 months old. A great dog, a family dog, a true blue BestPal.
Times change… life gets hard. The house is sold, dad splits and mom is on her own! She stays in a campground all summer… but now what? It is getting cold. Her church puts her up in a hotel. No pits allowed. She asks for help…. And so I ask for help.
We have an appointment on Monday at our amazing vets office Jimbabwe Acres, PC to update this senior on shots and tests. I don’t get funding for foster programs like the big shelters do. I don’t get a lot the bigger shelters do but each pet intake gets a piece of my heart and I am here for the long haul!
Can you help?
Can you foster?
Can you adopt?
Can you donate toward care?
Can you volunteer?
