I adopted Chili on June 29, 2022. She was such a sweet girl when I met her, I couldn’t help but take her home with me! Since her adoption she’s really come out of her shell. Chili loves sitting in the windowsill, being brushed, plenty of pets, and of course treats! She has been an amazing companion to have in my home. Thank you HSHV for making the adoption process so easy and helpful!

Joey was a Tiny Lions favorite for his freckly nose, lopsided ears, raspy meow, and love of everyone and anyone he ever meets. I adopted him in September 2016 shortly after returning to Ann Arbor from 2 years living in Canada, and there isn’t a single day that he hasn’t made my life better! A lot has happened since Joey found his home with me almost 6 years ago. We now live in Lansing, where he has a fellow senior rescue sister Mattie (a 16 year old tabby cat adopted from the Capital Area Human Society) and a dad! (my

In the summer of 2021, we adopted Rosie from Tiny Lions. It was a bittersweet moment in our household as our most senior cat at the time, Jessie, was beginning to slow down (she passed away in December). Rosie has a very strong personality, and she made sure all of her feline siblings (all but Jessie are HSHV adoptees) knew that she was the new ‘tiny fierce’ in our home. She loves the water and will block the sink until you give her a good rinsing. She’s also not a morning cat and prefers to steal your warm spot in

I adopted Lucy-cat in 2011, after first my cat who I’d inherited from my mother (both HSHV alums) died. I wasn’t sure that I was quite ready to adopt again, but I made several trips to HSHV, just to see who was available. I was very taken with an active kitty who had just come in, but I thought that I should get a senior cat or one with health issues, since I now have a lot of experience with both. But in the end, I adopted Bea, charmed by her beauty and perkiness. I was told that she feisty

Taylor (Swift), Mr. Tay, Tay-Tay, mistah mistah, sweet baby boy – he was adopted as a kitten from Tiny Lions as a ‘shy’ cat. He is the sweetest boy who cuddles on laps, gives kisses (to his humans, cat siblings, and dog siblings), and sits like a complete weird-o. Tiny Lions can’t be thanked enough for helping us connect with this sweetheart. Tay and his family send you all their love. Blue Moon now Taylor

I walked into HSHV to adopt one cat. I saw Bob, a giant 12 year old, and knew I wanted to check him out. He was paired up with his BFF Pita Jr., a tiny, 2-year-old, curious girl. Well….they both came home with me and spend their days lounging in the sun, lounging on the couch, lounging on the bed. Oh and lots of snuggles and treats. Don’t know what I’d do without these two!

We adopted Billy as a barn cat in 2020. He had already faced some challenges, as he had once had four pellets inside him (three remain). But Billy is now thriving! He has become more of a “deck cat” and hangs around the house during the day while prowling around at night. It was a slow process but he has become friends with our dog Cocoa, and he is the most affectionate, cuddly guy you’ll ever meet. He loves to hunt and is living his best life!!

Ace came to us with some separation anxiety, but he is doing so good with his best friend Emmie to hang out with every day while we are at work! Ice now Ace

These 2 kitties were dropped off as they had blue sparkle claw guards glued on, and so it hurt to use the litter box. We got them home, used soft kitty litter, the guards grew out and these brothers made a great transition. They have contests to see who can purr the loudest, love to look outside at birdies and chipmunks, play “tease the dogs” and flop on the floor. In other words, they fit right in. Thanks so much!
