Hazel - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Meet Hazel, a beautiful gray kitty with the fluffiest tail and greenest eyes who made her way here from a shelter on the east side of the state. She and multiple other kitties arrived here due to shelter overcrowding. Sadly, that is the case for many shelters and rescues at this time.

Hazel is personality plus. She knows she is adorable and she wants you to know, too. She adores pets and attention and cannot get enough. In fact, she doesn't hold still long enough for pictures because all she wants is to be loved. She does great with other friendly, non-aggressive kitties so could be part of a multi-cay household. Hazel would be ideal for any type of adopter; single, couple or a family. She is one little bundle of love!

Hazel has FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus) status which means her chance for euthanasia on the east side stay was high. Cats with FIV still enjoy long, healthy lives, much like cats without the virus. With regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and being kept indoors to minimize exposure to other infections, FIV-positive cats can thrive and live just as long as their FIV-negative counterparts. FIV cannot be transmitted through shared drinking and eating bowls nor litterboxes. Second Chance has successfully adopted out many loving, FIV kitties who have peacefully co-existed with other kitties here at the shelter.

Hazel has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Hazel has an approximate birthdate of 08-13-2023. Her adoption fee is $95.

If you are interested in Hazel 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.
