Ballerina – female, DOB: 2023

Ballerina is a gorgeous grey-and-white beauty with all the charm of her namesake. Returned to the rescue through no fault of her own, this spunky little diva is more than ready to dance her way into a forever home that truly deserves her.

True to her name, she’s graceful and athletic, leaping after toys with elegance before landing in a dramatic pose that says, “applause, please.” When she’s not in motion, Ballerina loves lounging on her human, stretching out those long legs, or recharging with her favorite treat, a Churu.

She’s affectionate and playful, a wonderful mix of cuddly and independent. That said, like any prima donna, she appreciates affection on her own terms, so a home without small children would be best for her.

Ballerina is a star in the making. She’s energetic, loving, and unforgettable. All she needs now is her forever audience.

Zoee, female, DOB: June 2025

Zoee is a sweet, gentle girl estimated to be about 6 months old. She arrived to a close friend as a solo kitten with no littermates, so she’s perfectly content as an only cat—though she does enjoy playing with her foster sister, Cleo. (We recommend she not be placed in a home with more than one other cat.)

This soft, affectionate sweetheart LOVES pets more than any cat we’ve ever met. She’s still finding her “big girl” meow, so don’t be surprised if you hear an adorable little chirp when she wants your attention.

Zoee also loves all food—no picky eating here! Just be prepared to share your snacks because she’ll be right there hoping for a taste.

Truly, Zoee is one of the sweetest, cuddliest kittens around. She adores attention and will quickly bond with her person. Whoever adopts her is going to feel very loved.

Behavior with cats and dogs – ok with 1 other cat; dogs unknown

Humphrey, male, DOB: 2023

Meet  Humphrey!  A 2-3 year old grey tuxedo from Grixdale Farms.  Originally trapped for TNR, it was discovered that Humphrey had FELV and FIV.  Putting him back outside would mean an agonizing and cold death this winter, so we decided to give him a chance at being adopted!  Humphrey is gentle and sweet.  Loves to purr and will seek out all the pets when offered.   Unfortunately because we don’t have adequate room for him, he’s living in our fosters entryway with a heating pad.  Because there are other cats in the foster house he has to be isolated due to him being FELV+.  Please give Humphrey a shot at a happy ending in a loving home!  He’s a doll.

Behavior with cats and dogs – should not be with other cats; dogs unknown

Simba, male, DOB: 2023

Meet Simba, an aspiring king of the jungle. Acrobat level climbing skills. He loves to be up high and has trained himself to jump on his human’s shoulders, unsolicitedly, lol. 
He is very curious and loves to investigate everything. He likes to inspect what’s inside of boxes, on tables and shelves, etc. If there is a cubby or opening under a door, he will stick his paw or whole head in to see what’s inside. 
He enjoys lots of pets and head scratches. He also has a decent amount of energy. (I don’t know his age, but he seems younger, so maybe 1 or 2 tops.) (Granted he has been in a single room and some of this could be from not having enough room to move about.)
He likes company and sleeping and sitting with his human. But be sure to play with him as well! While he does like being held and sitting on your lap, he lets you know when he needs to play. 
His love language is definitely wand toy and physical touch. He likes to gently head butt you with affection, especially rubbing his face on you frequently to say I love you. If you’re on your phone too long, he knows it’s his job to remind you to pet him. I recommend multiple towers and tunnels

In progress notes:
Seems to need a lot of attention, engagement. Not much of a self-entertained cat, but maybe would be better with more space and a friend?
Side note, I’ve only ever had kittens be so interested climbing into the random holes in my house this much. His curiosity is on another level
Maybe I would add that he is very affectionate. And playful. A sweetie pie who likes to be near his human. Still investigating his interest of other cats. Dogs unknown. 

Randy, female, DOB: 2022

Special case price of $100, long term foster

Randy isn’t just a cat… she’s a vibe. This grey-and-white queen is chunky, funky, and full of love, the kind of cat who will happily spend all day lounging in your lap, rolling over for belly rubs, and giving you full-on kitty hugs. 🤗💖

But life wasn’t always this cozy. Randy was abandoned by her previous owner in Southwest Detroit, left to fend for herself, having litter after litter, sick with no home to call her own. Despite it all, when her foster family took her in, she didn’t let her past harden her heart she chose love. Now, she’s fully embracing the indoor life, and let’s just say she’s thriving! Soft blankets, cozy naps, and good food? That’s the dream, and Randy is living it.

She doesn’t ask for much just love, cuddles, and maybe a few extra treats. If you’ve been searching for the ultimate cuddle buddy, Randy is ready to be your girl!

🐾 Apply now at the link in our bio and bring home the biggest heart (and cutest belly) in town!❤️✨

Celeste & Penelope, Male & Female, Ages: 3+/1+, Special case/barn cats

Special case price of $150 for both

Celeste, Male, 3+
Penelope, female, 1+

Celeste: he does like petting and is very cute, but he had to get one eye removed a couple years ago when they were both just still living on my porch on Clark St in SW and befriending me and pretty sure he is at least partially-blind in the other so he can be kind of jumpy and hissy and swatty bc he gets scared of sudden movements or people backing away from him. I pet him with extreme caution and sometimes use a garden tool i have taken up to his room to give him scratchies while being a little extra space from him 🙂 He has come sooooo far! the first time he let me touch him back on my old porch was a huge breakthrough moment, they both seem to like living inside enough, but would also be ok outside in a safe place as barn cats. they love to cuddle with each other and i can hear them playing at night! someone could put in more time and effort with Celeste (yes, boy named Celeste, my old roomie named him before we found out his gender), and he could become even friendlier i bet 🙂 he does like people and petting, he’s just kind of a loose canon too. 

Penelope: has never let me pet her, although I love to admire her from afar and she has been letting me get closer and closer than ever before! She’ll slow blink at me, but dart across to the other side of the room frantically if I get within arms reach usually. but she has let my ex put flea meds on her twice.. super quickly…

Behavior with cats and dogs – cats good, calm dogs possible

Chai & Teddy Blue – males, DOB: July 2025, FeLV+

Special case price of $150 for both

Meet Chai! A classic Halloween cat, with yellow eyes. 
Chai was found in the Warrendale neighborhood of Detroit by a dedicated dog rescuer. After being scooped up, she came to Detroit Alley Cats to recover from a tough life outdoors. She tested positive for FeLV at about 7 weeks old but has fought hard and is currently stable! Chai is very food motivated with an appetite nearly as big as her yellow-green eyes. She is ready for fall with her black-brown fur and growing scarf of white fur around her neck.

While Chai is warm and cozy, she has a touch of spice as her name implies. She is brave and curious, usually being the first to explore new toys and treats. When she greets you first thing in the morning she will make sure to find your nose so she can boop it with her nose. When she is nervous (at the vet) or sleepy she will bury her head into you. And when she plays she will zoom around the room chasing strings and diving head first into cardboard boxes making little meeps and chirps as she goes. She loves to climb and jump after toys, as well as to romp with her foster mate. Her energy and friendliness make her the perfect balance of playful and cuddly, and I think she would be perfect for a house with children.

——————

Double void alert! Chai and Teddy Blue’s debut as a pair, these are spiritual twins born one year apart. The perfect Halloween duo, they each bring a little bit of magic and mystery. 

With big round yellow eyes, Chai is a classic Halloween cat. Warm and cozy, she has a touch of spice as her name implies. She is brave and curious, usually being the first to explore new toys and treats. 

Teddy Blue Teddy Blue is bewitchingly elegant, with a sleek coat and emerald-colored eyes. His combination of sweet meekness and openly affectionate nature is sure to charm the heart of all the humans in his future forever home.

Both FeLV positive yet craving the company of another cat, these two were lucky to find another FeLV positive cat to live with. They warmed up to each other right away and have become the best of friends. They love to play together, which usually means tiny Chai is tackling and gnawing on Teddy Blue’s ear. And Teddy, gentle soul that he is, takes it like a champ, often letting Chai feel like she’s winning before standing up and bounding away playfully. Chai is Teddy Blue’s mini-shadow. These two inspire confidence in one another, with Teddy Blue providing a calm, nurturing presence for Chai, and Chai bringing out the sweetness and curiosity in Teddy Blue. They mirror each other in personality, both with a great balance of playfulness and coziness. They love to be pet and cuddle with they’re human as much as they love to play and chase a wand toy. For that reason, I think they would be great with kids.

If you give them a forever home, they will warm your lap and your heart with their sweet little meows and snuggles. Perfect for the Autumn season!

Both neutered and vaccinated – and ready for a forever home!

Volo – male, DOB: September 2025

Meet Volo, the bold little bard of the Bagley neighborhood and one of the lucky kittens raised under the watchful care of our hero, Raphael. Just like his Baldur’s Gate namesake, Volo is confident, charming, and absolutely certain he’s the main character in every story and honestly, he’s right.

At just 12 weeks old, this black-and-white adventurer has already mastered the art of snack breaks, power naps, and dramatic play sessions. His signature move? A full belly flop after zooming through his “quests.”

When he’s not leading his siblings on their latest expedition, Volo can be found watching Detroit Lions and Red Wings games, because even a tiny hero needs inspiration from the greats. He’s playful, cuddly, and full of personality, ready to bring some epic joy (and maybe a few monologues) to his forever home.

Could your home be the next chapter in Volo’s grand tale? Apply for Volo through the link in our bio! 🐱⚔️

Behavior with cats and dogs – good with other cats and dogs

Knuckles, Male, DOB: September 2025

Patient player. Waits his turn to play with his toys. Although he enjoys being around his team, he prefers to play alone. (Good company for another cat that likes to be left alone)

Yuri/Gandolf, Male, DOB: 2023

Yuri is the closest thing you’ll find to a true lap cat—this handsome, tall, and slender gray boy will happily curl up on your lap or be carried around for hours. He showed up at my door about two months ago and kept trying to walk right inside like he already lived here. After lots of effort to find an owner, it became clear: he wasn’t lost—he was simply a sweet young lad looking for his forever home.

Yuri is about 1 year old, healthy, and incredibly affectionate. He’s very vocal with adorable “crunchy” little meows, and he loves being right by your side like velcro. He listens well, is extremely food-motivated, and really just wants to be adored.

He has a wonderfully gentle temperament—nothing seems to faze him. He isn’t territorial, tolerates being handled, and based on his personality, I’m confident he’d do great with other animals and kids. He’s eager for companionship and would thrive in a home where he gets plenty of attention, cuddles, and connection.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and delightfully goofy cat who wants to be part of your everyday life, Yuri is your guy. He’s ready to give his whole heart to a human of his own.

Behavior with cats and dogs – unknown, but foster thinks probably good with intro

Bruce & Robert, Males, DOB: August 2025

Bruce is a delightful grey kitten who adores human attention and thrives on being pet and cuddling with his people. His soft grey fur and affectionate nature make him a perfect lap cat. Bruce is also well-acclimated to both large and small dogs as well as adult cats, fitting seamlessly into multi-pet households. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who gets along with everyone, Bruce is your guy. 

Robert is a spirited grey kitten full of playful energy, always ready to chase toys or embark on a new adventure. His lively antics and sleek grey fur bring joy and excitement to any home. Robert is well-adjusted to living with both large and small dogs as well as adult cats, making him a great fit for a dynamic, multi-pet household. If you want a fun-loving kitten to keep things lively, Robert is the one for you.

Baby & Slinky, Male & Female, DOB: May 2025

Slinky (striped cat) and Baby (black cat): 

Slinky and Baby were found in a northeast neighborhood in Detroit. They are each others ride or die, partners and siblings on the streets and hopefully in a new loving home!

Slinky:
Out of the two of them, Slinky is rambunctious with a ton of energy. From tackling and wrestling her brother Baby to having the zoomies around the house, her energy knows no bounds. She’s a curious kitten, always seeking an adventure, peaking behind closed doors and playing with anything she finds interesting. She likes to chase balls, jump after lasers and catch the string on a teaser wand. Careful! Slinky is actively learning to be gentle with human hands. While she loves pets, her urge to play can cause her to be less aware of her claws. Slinky also has mellow moments. While at first it takes a minute to warm up to someone new, she likes to lay beside you as you do any activity or sit with Baby and take a nap. She can also be quite vocal, not hesitating to say, “hello!” or tell you it’s time to eat. 

Baby:
Baby is a sweet and quiet boy, who is the perfect compliment to Slinky. It takes him a bit longer to warm up, letting Slinky take the lead with her curiosity.  But after a couple days of days, he likes to lay beside you or ask for pets by putting a paw on your hand. His favorite toys are interactive floppy fish, as well as the teaser wand. He’s not as fast as his sister Slinky, so watching him clumsily chase or play is quite entertaining. He loves to cuddle with his sister and wrestle and chase her. They take naps together and are never apart for too long. Baby doesn’t mind being held, but it for too long. He much prefers pets and he will loudly and proudly purr to let you know how much he loves you! He’s also very excited about food! He doesn’t have much restraint so he’ll do his best to double dip into Slinky’s food when he gets a chance. 

The pair of them are a fun and sweet pair that would make a great addition to a loving home.

Gypsy – female, DOB: 2023

Meet Gypsy! She’s a certified Parkour Princess, which means she could be bouncing off your walls in no time! She is high energy and loves to play. She will be your best friend, following you from room to room. She is prone to play-biting, so she’ll be right at home with someone who understands cats. I think she’ll be better off in home with another cat to play with and a human who can give her individual attention from time to time. She is friendly with other cats and used to living in a home with small dogs.
