My New Best Friend

Cleo now Pantalaimon I adopted Cleo (now Pantalaimon) in June 2022. When I went into her kitty condo to meet her she jumped right down to greet me and then settled into my lap. I knew right then we’d be good friends. We are having a great time playing and cuddling, and she spends the night curled up alongside my legs. Each day is better for having her in it!

Boss seeks employment with family

I got to the shelter. It was very busy. I asked to see Joshua. The workers talk on earphones and I heard, does she know that he will bite her? Well out came lil’ man on a leash. He let me touch him. He got in my lap!! The workers were amazed. It took time for him to decompress. Settle in. He’s a WONDERFUL boy and blesses our family. We adore him. His sister is a Great Dane and she is fine with him being boss😂♥️🐾♥️ Joshua now Gizmo Gustafson Edoff

Chili loves her new home!!

  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’s Journey

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

Our Fur Family Grows

My daughter and I both adopted cats from Tiny Lions and they have been the best companions! Tiny Lions Cat Cafe was fairly new when we started looking and I think our kitties were around #30 for new adoptions. Leilani (Roxie) was a very skittish girl and spent the first week under the couch. My daughter worked with her every day to gain her trust and she has become the sweetest and most affectionate girl. Gus (Slinky) is in charge and a very affectionate guy. They are both very well behaved and we are thankful for them every day. Both

Healing Hearts

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

The Transformation of a Feisty Cat!

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

Tay is Weird and Perfect

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

Bob and Pita, Friends for Life

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!
