In the shelter’s words
Meet Michael, a gentle soul with an iron will and a heart full of love. This sweet boy has the perfect balance of independence and affection—not too needy, not too aloof. He is perfectly content lounging near his people or his feline family, but when Michael decides it's time for attention, well… it's time for attention NOW.Michael absolutely adores the adult cats in his foster home and frequently seeks them out for grooming sessions and cozy naps. He seems to have a special appreciation for his older feline friends and loves having them nearby. He also loves spending time with his siblings, whether they're playing together or settling down for a nap.He's a curious little guy who enjoys looking out the window and watching for bugs, and his foster family especially loves his nighttime wandering and quiet little adventures. Michael rarely meows, but when he has something important to say—usually something involving food—he will absolutely speak up. And when he's ready for cuddles, he can be remarkably persistent about making sure his humans understand his request!One of Michael's most adorable habits is visiting his humans in bed to give their faces a thorough washing. Because apparently that's just what good friends do. He also enjoys small mice, spring toys, and sparkle balls, so there's always something fun to keep this curious boy entertained.Michael has met the humans and resident cats in his foster home and has done wonderfully with everyone. He's one of five birth siblings and also has four older siblings and his mama, Marcy, so he's grown up surrounded by plenty of feline companionship.Because Michael is still so young, he will need to be adopted into a home with another kitty friend to socialize, play, and grow up with. He would especially love to go home with one of his siblings.If you're looking for a sweet boy who will happily lounge nearby, curl up with a feline friend, quietly explore his surroundings, and then insist that it's time for cuddles, Michael may be your perfect match. Just be prepared: when Michael wants something, his iron will is hard to resist!WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Thank you for your interest in Forever Fortunate Felines, a division of Fortunate Pooches and Lab Rescue. We are very happy to have the opportunity to match you with your purr-fect cat-panion! Once you complete the online application using the below link, you will be able to discuss and ask questions directly to the foster parent.  We believe this is a big advantage to you as our organization is completely foster based, we really understand our cats personalities at a deep level. This helps to ensure a great match with you and your family. In order to get the process going, would you kindly fill out our detailed online application located here: https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11683/generic Completing our online application does not commit you to adopt from our rescue.  Rather it helps us to understand your requirements and match you with the best possible cat or kitten. Once you complete the application and it is approved, we can set up a meet and greet and if all works out, you may bring the kittens or cats home the same day. Please make sure to bring an adequately sized pet carrier with you to your meet and greet. We recommend a pet carrier which opens from the top as this is the easiest way to place a cat inside a carrier. If you do decide to adopt, we do expect you to take home your cat the same day as there are so many cats and kittens which need to be rescued from high kill shelters, we almost always rescue a new cat or kitten the very next day. If it is not possible for you to take your cat or kitten home the same day, we do charge a boarding fee of $3 per day for supplies and to encourage you to take your newly adopted cat home. We will board for a maximum of 3 days if needed to allow you time to get needed supplies. Our adoption fees are listed at the link below. This fee includes full vetting, flea treatment, de-worming, spay surgery, FeLV and FIV test, microchip insertion, and vaccinations up to date for the kittens or
