We were so busy today, we forgot to tell all of you Happy Valentine’s Day! What a wonderful love filled day. We had five adoptions, a wonderful turnout for our exclusive Valentines night event and lots of visitors all day. Please stay safe in the upcoming weather and remember, we will not be open for normal visits tomorrow because we have two Drag shows scheduled. If anything changes we will keep you updated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing the love and for advocating for the vulnerable cats of our community.

This is a very important message: due to the incoming snowstorm, for the first time in over four years of doing spay neuter clinics, we are going to have to postpone it. This is for the safety of people bringing their cats at seven in the morning and for the volunteers that staff the clinic. I will be manually moving everybody’s appointments to 3/15. If you cannot make that date, please let us know via messenger. We apologize for the inconvenience, but safety does have to be our priority. Message us if you have any questions.

We’re having a bit of a tough day, and we would love to hear some KKC adoption success stories. Every cat that passes through our facility is given the utmost care and love with the hopes of finding happiness in their furrever homes. If you have adopted from us, whether it was last week or five years ago, we would love to hear some happy adoption stories and don’t forget the pictures too. Over 1600 adoptions and counting! 💜🐈‍⬛

This is one of the most important posts I have ever made, and I would appreciate it, if it could be shared far and wide. One thing we always try to do is be very transparent and that includes keeping people informed about health issues in Cats. For some reason the last two years, there has been a tremendous FIP outbreak across the US. Whether we are catching more cases rather than attributing deaths to unknown causes, we are unsure. But for any of our longtime followers, you know that we have helped somewhere between 70 and 100 cats in the state of Michigan beat this normally fatal illness. Including many cats that did NOT come from our facility, but we were able to provide treatment and guidance. It is very important that Cat owners and adopters are aware of symptoms and can get help as soon as you see a problem. And as we tell every adopter, we are available post adoption for advice and support. Always always reach out to us before making euthanasia decisions. We have literally brought Cats back from the brink of death, and with multiple options available directly from veterinarians now, there’s no reason for any cats to die of this illness. Here’s a little more information directly from Pet MD:

How is FIP transmitted in cats?

Most cats are exposed early in their lives to the organism that causes FIP—sometimes even from their mother. Cats almost universally carry the organism responsible for the infection—however, the development of disease requires a specific interaction between the immune system of the cat and a mutated form of the organism. Therefore, although many cats carry the organism, the vast majority never develop disease. This is also the primary reason we do not have a diagnostic test for the disease—there are more factors at play than simply carrying the organism.

Is FIP in cats contagious to other cats?

We don’t consider FIP too contagious in the way so many other diseases are, primarily because almost all cats are exposed to the organism early in life and carry it long-term without symptoms. The development of disease requires a specific interaction between the virus and the immune system. It is not uncommon to see one cat in a household die of FIP while the other cats remain perfectly healthy.
The unfortunate fact of FIP is that it is very much like Russian roulette because of the genetic component. It is not contagious, there is no vaccine, there is no definitive test. If you ever have a concern post adoption, please, please let us know so that we can support and guide you with our years of knowledge and experience.  The newest medications are nowhere as expensive as the original black market drugs were, in fact we can treat a cat for somewhere between $150-$300 and it’s well worth saving a life.

This absolutely adorable girl is Patches! Patches came to us as a pregnant mother, and we were able to give her a safe place to lay her head while she tended to her babies. Now we are trying to find her the Purrfect home. Patches would prefer to be the only queen or in a home with a more submissive cat. The stress of living in the Cat lounge was not good for her and she has been caged due to needing prescription food. We would love to get her out of the cage and into a home. It is highly likely that her stress and need for a prescription diet would go away once she is in her forever home. Stop in and ask to meet Patches today. She gives cute little chirps and she is very very affectionate to humans. Truly a sweet girl, and who could resist that adorable face?

Courtesy post, if you are interested in meeting this kitty, please contact us for the current caretaker‘s phone number.  We have several feral kittens in our neighborhood that all of us try to take care of. Thor is one we rescued after he fell in our egress window. We brought him in when he was only about 2 months old, and we got him fixed. He was always really skittish, because we had two dogs and another cat. However, the longer he was inside the more skittish he became. He eventually wouldn't even let us pet him. We ended up putting him outside, and he was doing better! He was even becoming more loveable and letting me love on him each morning and night when I would feed him. The problem is that we recently moved, and the new owners are not willing to take care of him, and we are in an apartment, so we can't bring him with us as an outdoor cat. I thought he would go to the other houses in our neighborhood that take care of the feral cats, but he is not, and I am so sad! I really think he would make a great indoor cat if you have a quiet house without dogs. He LOVES to play fetch!!! He is super sleak and silky and just absolutely beautiful. I just want to make sure he will be OK and go to a good home that will make sure he is loved on and cared for.

Spicy babes
Spicy babes

Well, we are currently closed for intakes once in a while there’s a situation that we needed to help out with. These kittens were being cared for by a lady in her 80s and due to health issues and stress she needed to find placement. So it took them almost 3 days to get all five secured and delivered to us, the first two went off to foster on Monday. The other three will be joining their siblings, but they are temporarily at my house. Everybody’s quite scared, but we will work on them and babies like this have great chances at taming down with no problem. I’m not even worried about it. They will be with one of our good foster moms who is super good with the spicy babies as well.(Please don’t freak out about the cage. We always have to get weird comments about things.) This was early this morning after they were in the cage all night and they are very frightened right now. We are trying not to disturb them too much so they can get used to sounds and all the activity. Welcome aboard babies. You are now safe and you will never reproduce.

It’s Friday night and everything‘s going to be all right, at least in Catland. I just wanted to do a video to Thank you for your support, and to thank you for believing in what we are doing to save these precious lives. Here are some links to purchase Afghan raffle tickets.

End of the day and I am just relaxing with the cats that are all so happy to have love and attention and a great place to stay while they wait to be adopted. It’s very rare that I can actually feel the satisfaction of knowing how many animals we’ve helped through the years, it’s actually almost daily that we are helping people and cats outside of our facility and we do it because we care. But tonight I am feeling very fulfilled. I’m taking a moment to be grateful for all that we’ve done, all that we do and all that we will continue to do together. There’s something extremely relaxing about having a cat on your lap, kneading you, purring and rubbing their little face on your face. I don’t think there’s anything that’s more therapeutic. Stop in soon for a little cat therapy.

What is Karma Kat Cafe?

I wanted to create a community setting, where humans and cats can interact in a serene atmosphere, and increase the odds of successful adoptions. By partnering with local shelters and rescues, we have created a valuable meeting space, and we provide an enriching, safe space for homeless cats. All adoptable cats are spayed or neutered and have required vaccinations.

How it works


  • 1. On-line reservations are available for an hourly fee. Walk-ins will are available, when slots are open. We have to maintain a purrfect cat-to-human ratio, so that everyone is comfortable.
