Ryder - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Westland, Michigan

RYDER IS LOOKING FOR A VERY SPECIFIC HUMAN.
Not a perfect human.
Not a cat expert.
Not someone with a giant house, fancy furniture, or a degree in feline psychology.
Just someone who understands one very important thing:
Some of the best relationships take a little time.
Ryder isn’t the cat who is going to meet you and immediately scream, “YES. YOU. I HAVE CHOSEN YOU.”
He’s more of a:
“Hmm. Who are you?”
“Why are you here?”
“Are those treats?”
“...okay, you may stay.”
And honestly? We kind of love that about him.
Ryder has spent the last several months in foster care learning that life can actually be pretty great. He has become sweet, playful, talkative and increasingly comfortable showing off the wonderful little personality that was hiding underneath all that fear.
He likes attention.
He likes to play.
He likes having conversations with his people.
And once he decides you’re trustworthy, you get to see the Ryder his foster dad has fallen in love with.
He’s still looking for someone patient enough to let that relationship happen naturally instead of expecting instant perfection.
Ryder is:
Under 2 years old
Neutered
Microchipped
Up to date on vaccines
Clean bloodwork
Sweet, playful and wonderfully chatty
Looking for a home without dogs
Basically, Ryder isn’t offering you a one-night “OMG THIS CAT LOVES ME” experience.
He’s offering you something better.
The moment when the cautious cat finally walks over, sits beside you and decides:
Yep. You’re my person.
And THAT is going to be worth every second.
