To anyone in the Grand Rapids/West Michigan area:
This is my cat Pyro. He's a 4 year old domestic shorthair male, neutered, and up to date on his shots.
I love him dearly with all my heart, but I'm going to be moving back in with family soon, likely for a couple years, and they're VERY allergic to cats, so I can't bring him with me 😢
I refuse to dump him at a shelter, and I want to make sure he goes to a good home, with people who are good with cats. It also needs to be a home without dogs, as Pyro has really bad dog anxiety.
I've already posted in r/Grand rapids and r/CatHelp , and I've been posting on various social media and pet rehoming websites for months now. I've got Pyro on a wait list for a rescue, but they might not be able to get him in until late October, and my lease ends October 7th. I just want to make sure my baby goes to a good home where he'll be happy 😭
Pyro is a big ol’ fraidy cat, but turns into the biggest, energetic goofball once he gets comfortable. I've tried to introduce him to the outdoors, but he's adamantly an indoor only cat.
He likes to burrow under blankets and laundry, and his favorite toys are strings, laser toys, and bottle caps or milk rings. He rarely ever gets legit angry; he tends to think other cats growling and batting at him are them trying to play 😅
He DOES seem to get along with female cats better/easier, but he does fine with other males too.
He's not a very cuddly cat, but once he warms up to you, he always wants to be in the same room as you, and will sometimes curl up next to you on the couch or the bed, and will often greet you at the door.
I want him to go to a good cat-friendly home, where he has plenty of room to run around and play; he's been cooped up in one room for too much of his life.
If you are interested, or know someone who would be interested and would be a good fit for him, please reach out!
