Forrest Grump is almost 6 years old and knows exactly what he likes—and isn’t shy about it! This lovable grump has a big personality and plenty of charm beneath the sass. Forrest is a pro napper, always seeking the coziest spot for his next snooze. Between naps, he’ll remind you who’s boss with a dramatic sigh or two. If you’re looking for a cat who enjoys the finer (lazier) things in life, Forrest is your guy.

He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!

Meet Spook
Certified Street Fighter. Amateur Heartbreaker. Full-Time Menace.

Spook didn’t choose the thug life—the thug life chose him, handed him a tiny cat-sized leather jacket, and tossed him into the streets with nothing but his attitude and some wildly unearned confidence. This black cat isn’t your average spooky sweetheart. No, Spook is here to throw paws first, ask questions never, and then eat your snacks like he owns the place (which, in his mind, he does).

He was found on the streets, probably yelling at a mailbox or side-eyeing a squirrel. He’s been through it. You can see it in his battle-ready stance, his permanent scowl, and his general air of "don’t even think about it."

Spook is 100% convinced everyone is out to get him—especially other cats—and he’s more than ready to throw down if one so much as breathes in his direction.

He doesn’t have time for their nonsense. Their vibes are off. Their faces are annoying. He’d like to be the only cat in your life so he can finally drop his guard, take a nap without threats of eye contact, and live out his retirement in peace (and snacks).

Now—humans, on the other hand? He’ll allow it. He likes your weird noises and your opposable thumbs that open food bags. He enjoys your attention... when it’s earned. He’ll uppercut your heart with his tiny murder mittens, stare into your soul like he's plotting something (he is), then curl up in the corner for a nap like he didn’t just start a fight club in your kitchen.

Spook doesn’t want cuddles. He wants respect. And treats. Lots of treats. The way to his heart is paved in kibble, not compliments.

But here’s the twist: behind the sass, the swats, and the constant suspicion… there’s a little softie who’s just tired. Tired of fighting. Tired of chaos. Tired of sharing space with cats who don’t know how to read a room.

He’s ready for a home. A quiet one. A Spook-only zone where he can finally drop the act, toss his street armor in the trash, and let that hidden sweet side breathe—for five minutes, until someone makes eye contact again.

So if you’ve got a cat-free household, a stocked pantry, and a sense of humor about minor emotional abuse from a small, angry furball...

Spook is your guy.
Adopt him. Or don’t. He honestly doesn’t care.
(But he will remember.) 🐾🖤🥊

Adoptable sweetheart Ximena, or Hemi to her friends, had the best kind of summer day with our amazing volunteer Kim yesterday! 🐶💕

Hemi got to relax at Kim’s house, soak up the sunshine, and even go for a refreshing swim to cool off. She was a total rockstar! 🐾💦

Kim said Hemi did amazing, though she’s still working on getting comfy with car rides. (Totally fair—some of us prefer the destination over the journey! 🚗😅) Luckily, Kim is going to keep taking her on little adventures to help build her confidence.

Hemi is a goofy, lovable girl who enjoys adventure, and always finding a way to cool off in the water. If you’re looking for a happy, energetic buddy to share your days with, Ximena might be your perfect match!

Come meet her and see for yourself!

🐾 June Recap & Summer Fun Ahead! ☀️

June was full of love, wagging tails, and happy endings, with 17 amazing adoptions! Our staff and volunteers are overjoyed to see so many new arrivals, long-term animals, and kittens find their forever families.
We’re especially thrilled for some of our longtime residents who finally found their happily ever after: Graspy, Junie B. Jones, and our sweet girl Cannoli!
And a HUGE celebration for our longest-term FIV+ feline, Linny, who was adopted with her FIV+ bestie Hollywood! We couldn’t be happier for them both! 🐾💖

As always, thank you to our adopters, volunteers, donors, and supporters! Your kindness and compassion are what make all of this possible. We’re still rooting for more of our long-term animals to find their perfect homes soon! 🥰

🐶 We had a blast at the T-Mobile Adoption Event! Big thanks to T-Mobile for hosting us! Chex and Dandelion loved making new friends.
🌽 We’ve also been bringing some of our adoptable dogs to the Pontiac Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and it's been such a great way to give them a break from the shelter and meet new potential adopters! We will be continuing these visits through the summer!
🐾 We’re also super excited about the interest in our Doggy Daycation Volunteer Program! We’re putting the finishing touches on it and can’t wait to roll it out!

📅 Upcoming Events:
📍 July 11th – Catch us at Odell Days from 5–7 PM
🐷 July 17th & 18th – We’ll be at the Livingston County 4H & Ag Fair at the Pontiac 4H Park from 2–4 PM both days

Come say hi and meet some adoptable cuties as we're out and about this month! We’d love to see you!

Henny is a 2.5-year-old sweetheart who finds joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loves lounging by the window, soaking up the sun, and quietly watching the world go by.

Calm and gentle, Henny enjoys soft pets but is just as happy relaxing on her own. She’s the perfect laid-back companion for a peaceful home.

Henny is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccines.

Meet Caroline: The Queen, The Legend, The Sass

Once worshipped in two (clearly unworthy) households, Caroline is a seasoned calico connoisseur of the human condition. At a youthful 7 years young, she’s seen things, okay? She’s lived, she’s loved (herself mostly), and now she’s ready to interview one last peasant—ahem, person—to serve as her final and forever loyal subject.

Caroline is confident. Not “posting motivational quotes on Instagram” confident—we mean actual confidence. The kind that only a well-seasoned cat with a perfectly patterned coat and a don’t-touch-me-unless-I-say-so attitude can carry. She wants pets… sometimes. Maybe. From the right person. On the right day. With the right hand. Under proper lighting. But don’t worry—she’ll let you know when the stars have aligned.

Her spicy attitude isn’t all attitude. It’s wisdom. She’s been burned before (twice, thank you very much), so she’s a little more skeptical of humans claiming they’re “ready for a cat.” Are you? Are you truly worthy of her toe beans and her side-eyes? Only time—and the sacred vet-approved treats you offer her—will tell.

Caroline hasn’t completely given up on humanity. She’s just… recalibrated her expectations. So, if you’ve got a quiet home, a throne by the window, and a sense of humor about being judged for literally everything you do, Caroline might just tolerate you enough to love you.

She’s not looking for just a home. She’s looking for a throne.

Apply within—if you dare.

Rosie is a mixed breed with a stunning brindle coat and unforgettable eyes—one blue, one brown. She’s as unique in personality as she is in looks.

Rosie is shy at first and will need multiple meet-and-greets, but once she trusts you, her sweet, playful side shines through. She loves her herding ball, stuffed toys, and quiet time with people she knows.

Rosie would do best as the only pet in a home with no kids, with patient, experienced owners who can help her feel safe and loved.

Rosie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines.

Clovey is a sweet 2-year-old looking for a calm, loving home. She may be a little shy at first, but with patience, her gentle, affectionate side shines through. Clovey enjoys quiet moments and will reward your kindness with love and loyalty.

Tabasco might sound spicy, but he’s really a gentle soul. He’s a bit shy at first, but with time (and treats!), his sweet, loving nature shines through.

He adores other cats and would love a home with a feline friend. When he’s not playing, he’s curled up napping in a cozy spot, dreaming of treats.

Tabasco is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines.

Spatula is a sweetheart with a playful spirit and a personality that will keep you smiling. She loves attention and will happily meow to let you know when it’s time to focus on her—no ignoring this girl!

She’s a big fan of pets and affection, though she’s not much of a cuddler—Spatula likes her space, but she definitely wants to be near her people. When she’s not seeking your attention, she’s busy playing and exploring, always on the lookout for her next toy or adventure.

If you’re looking for a loving, interactive companion who’s equal parts silly and sweet, Spatula is ready to bring her charm and chatter into your life!

Spatula is Spayed, Microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!
