This handsome boy is named Trip, and isn't he just gorgeous? In his former home, Trip used his cardboard scratching post faithfully and didn't ruin the furniture with his claws. He's a nice boy, but not fond of other cats at all. Hence we recommend that Trip be the ONLY critter in your home! His persona is certainly large enough to fill any space!

This handsome senior feline was brought to the SPCA from the Village of Lansing. Sadly, no one has asked after her, so now she seeks a new home and loving folks to appreciate her. She is friendly and sweet, solicits with rubs and vocalizing how much she wants to be petted - but watch our for her tail, which seems to be off limits to human hands. The Chief is pretty playful for an older girl, and especially favors wand toys. We think she would be fine in a home with children older than 12 years, who would be sensitive to her needs.
