Detroit Alley Cats

Adoptable Cats

Please note that due to the high demand for young kittens, most of our kittens get adopted from our social media posts before making it to this page. Our cats must be fixed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested and microchipped to officiate the adoption, and kittens need to be at least 8 weeks for their spay/neuter procedure. To see kittens that will be soon available, please check our Facebook and Instagram pages.

All cats are negative for FIV/FeLV unless otherwise stated.

Alice Wu, female, DOB: 9-25-24

** ~ TINY BUT MIGHTY ~ ** ~
Meet Alice Wu – AKA “Tiny Princess” – AKA “Fuzz Butt” – the littlest member of the Coven Kitten Crew!
Alice was rescued with her brother and nursed through a bad eye infection – she is now a healthy, happy, baby girl who is all fluff & sass and primed to grow into a real beauty if she continues to get loving care and lots of food.
A tiny whirlwind, this bitsy bit of sugar and spice will fill your home with love and fun. She plays with a ferocity of a full-grown lioness, flipping and racing her way up and down stairs and from room to room – no toy is safe from her adorable rampage!
Alice gives affection with just as much enthusiasm – her face lights up with joy when she sees you and she will run full-out to throw herself at your ankles, then scale you like a tree to perch on your shoulder. She’s a skilled parrot cat and rides around the house that way!
Our mini-princess also sleeps hard – she’s one of those kittens who passes out mid-playtime and will happily doze in your lap for as long as you let her. You’ll note her favorite position in her photo collection – it’s prime for rubbing that floofy belly!
Alice would love to be adopted with her foster sister, Lilia, but if that’s not possible, her forever home will need a friendly feline playmate.

Pip, famale, DOB: July 30th 2024

This is Pip! She is a 4 month old girl from Woodbridge and is the runt of the litter. She’s teenie tiny but is just as energetic as her brothers! She loves to be held and pet, but when shes on the ground she is focused on her favorite toys and tackling her brothers. She is litter trained and eats great. Her back legs were limp and weak when she was born, suspected swimmers syndrome, but after a week of strengthening exercises she was able to stand and walk on her own and be independent! Pip loves having playmates, and would prefer to be in a home with a buddy, ideally one of her brothers. Pip has not been around dogs or children.

Lilia, female, DOB: September 2024

Meet Lilia – AKA ‘Lili’ – a member of the Coven Kittens who were born to an elusive feral mama in SW Detroit.
Lili is the prettiest little girl with soft gray markings, big sea green eyes, and a sweet-as-sugar smile. She talks to you in high-pitched, staccato meows that let you know where she is, where you should be, and what she needs from you right now please. She has the softest fur and the prettiest little nose. Lili also has a 3-toed back paw that doesn’t impede her speed at all!
Lili is the ultimate caretaker kitty. She looks after her brothers and sister as well as the 2 younger kittens added to her foster crew – she always makes sure the little ones have space at the dinner bowl, someone to sleep with, and helps out by grooming them. She’s an excellent big sister and if you need looking after she will never let you down.
Lilia loves to be petted and stroked and told how pretty she is today. She will curl up next to you, or in your lap, or at your feet – whatever she thinks you need. She loves a fuzzy blanket to suck on and make biscuits while she falls asleep. Lili is also a ferocious hunter of toys with fur and with feathers and is learning to exercise on the big cat wheel!
Lilia would prefer to be adopted with one of her siblings (or foster siblings). If that’s not possible, her new home will need to have a friendly feline resident!
Lili was born to be your new best friend – she’s kind and protective, loving and giving, sugar and spice and everything nice. With Lilia in your life, you’ll always feel the love!

Teen, male, DOB: September 2024

Meet Teen – AKA ‘Teeny’ – a member of the Coven Kittens who were born to an elusive feral mama in SW Detroit.
Teen is a funny little boy with a spirited personality – he has a ton of energy racing through his long, spindly legs and a big heart to match his big belly! Teen has a loud purr, almost no meow, and a daredevil willingness to meet any challenge with a running leap, a spread-legged jump, and a full-out pounce onto anything that jingles.
Teen absolutely requires an equally energetic playmate – his dedication to wrestling is impressive, especially given his small stature. Sometimes he’ll catch one of his siblings walking casually across a room and here comes Teen – flying around corners and vaulting over obstacles – to take them down with a gleam of unholy glee in his eyes. You don’t need ESPN when Teen is around to provide entertainment!
When Teen is done playing, he wants to eat. When he’s done eating, he wants to be snuggled. And he snuggles with just as much commitment as he plays – he’ll fling himself into your arms or wiggle his way into your lap and good luck moving him once he’s settled! He may be teensy, but he’s also wily. Everything Teen does, he does with gusto – he’s even learning to run on a big cat wheel!
Teen would prefer to be adopted with one of his siblings (or foster siblings). If that’s not possible, his new home will need to have a friendly feline resident!
Teen would be perfect for a high-energy household with plenty of playmates – he’s always a good time and you’ll certainly never be bored with Teeny-beeny around! Good with cats, dogs unknown

He’s an advanced muffin-maker with a loud purr and absolutely loves to cuddle and curl up with you. He would very much like another friendly cat or kitten in the house to snuggle and play with until you get home, and he is a very gentle playmate to people and cats alike. If you are ready for a faithful and loving companion, Joaquín is ready for you!

Frankie, female, DOB: June 2024, FeLV+

Sweet Frankie girl is precious in every sense of the word. Though FeLV+, that doesn’t stop her from being her best! She loves to play with and chase her brothers, but is just as comfortable curling up on the couch. She is shaping up to be quite the lap cat and will flop over for belly rubs and chest scratches, all while purring and flexing her paws in the air.

Frankie is spunky, confident, and can hold her own during playtime with her litter mates. She is curious, loves toys with feathers, and is a total catnip fiend. She is very attached to her brother, Murphy, and they would like to stay together if possible. If you’re looking for the sweetest little girl around, you’ve found her! Good with cats and dogs. Reduced adoption fee of $80

Murphy, male, DOB: June 2024, FeLV+

Meet the most handsome gentleman, Murphy. Murph Man is the most polite member of his litter from Hubbard Farms. He waits patiently for his turn for pets or treats, and even gives gentle kisses on hands and legs when he feels safe around his humans.

Murphy is on the shy side, and is still getting used to living inside. He has made incredible strides while being in foster, but needs a home with someone who is patient and kind, and can help him come out of his shell. Fortunately, Murph LOVES catnip and is always quick to warm up to whoever can help him get his fix.

Murphy would most likely benefit from a home with other cats, but he is both cat and dog friendly. He and his sister Frankie are best friends, and would like to go to the same home if possible. Murphy’s sweet and gentle disposition will make him a beloved friend to his forever home.

Unfortunately Murphy tested positive for Feline Leukemia. This is not, however, a death sentence! FeLV is a retrovirus that weakens the immune system and shortens their lifespan, but they can still live happy and normal lives if kept indoors. Though it only spreads to other cats, it does spread more easily than FIV through close contact, so they should be only housed with other FeLV+ cats.

So if you already have a FeLVie who needs a friend, Murph Man might be your man!

Jetsam and Flotsam, girl and boy, 7.5 months

Jetsam and Flotsam are an excellent bonded standard issue tabby pair who showed up one day on their foster’s porch in Bagley. They have been doing absolutely amazing in foster since and love to cuddle with their fosters tuxedo kitty Fizz.

Flotsam the white nosed boy is absolutely fearless and always ready to play with Jetsam. He’s the one who was meowing on his foster’s porch with Jetsam meekly sitting under his car. He’s very brave and friendly and has a ton of energy. He loves being picked up and carried around or just snuggling in laps.

Owl, female, 6 years, Special Case (shy)

Miss Owl was left outside in a carrier in the rain all night in front of DACC in 2021. She was shortly adopted in Hamtramck and she came in very scared and shy. When taken to get spayed, it turned out she already was, so she must’ve been someone’s pet, though she wasn’t microchipped. She preferred to live in one bedroom, her adopters office, and slowly got used to him and would sit on his lap during work from home pandemic time. The adopters had another lady cat at the time and Owl avoided her like the plague. They hissed if they made contact but didn’t fight. But recently, their other cat passed away and to their surprise, Owl started coming out of her room! She’s been having fun getting comfy in all corners of the house and has warmed up to people. She definitely needs to be an only cat though. Personality wise, she’s a big grumpy sausage that has grudgingly learned to like people. She likes snoozing in the sun, snuggling your feet at night, and climbing up into your lap for a few pats. Not too into toys unless it’s a string or a laser pointer, but she does love to tear up cardboard cat scratchers and do the post-poop zooms. She has grown on her humans very much but alas one of them developed terrible cat allergies recently, and needs to have a pet free home for a couple of years. Owl is a completely adoptable little chunk but will need time to warm up and single cat attention from her human. Fixed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative and with a reduced adoption fee of $60.

Artemis, female, 1 year, Special Case (shy)

Artemis is a rare ginger girl of 1 year, rescued in Belle Isle last year with Shredder. She is an extremely effective huntress but can be somewhat scaredy of humans. She is highly energetic, intelligent, playful, and an entertaining companion once you gain her trust. Fixed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative and available now! Reduced adoption fee of $60.
