Dilute Tortoiseshell Cats Available for Adoption in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Meet Dusty Rose, whose pretty little Dilute Tortisehell self was abandoned at a mobile home park. Lucky for her she was found to be friendly so was trapped and has made her way to Second Chance.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is a famous line from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, spoken by Juliet to argue that the names of things do not define their true essence or value. We point this out because Dusty Rose is shy right now. She has experienced a lot of upheaval and she is one of those cats who will need some time to adjust. Dusty Rose is sweet, friendly, and likes slow gentle pets. She will need some time to continue to adjust and acclimate so a patient adopter is a must. We believe with encouragement and reinforcement Dusty Rose will gain confidence and trust us humans who want to do right by her.

Dusty Rose would do best with a single adopter, a couple, or a family with older respectful children. She would benefit from a quieter, routine home. So far, she seems to be okay with other friendly, non-aggressive kitties.

Dusty Rose has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Dusty Rose has an approximate birthdate of 10/30/2024. Her adoption fee is $95.

If you are interested in Dusty Rose or any of the cats at Second Chance Cats of West Michigan, go to sccatswm.org/adopt to fill out an application, or stop in during open hours on Fridays from 11-2 or Saturdays and Sundays from 11-4.

Please note - we can only adopt to those who live within a one hour drive of Grand Rapids.

Thank you!
