Michigan Adoption Planning

Our kittens travel with organized health records, and we encourage families to plan the route and the first few days at home before pickup.
Serving families in: Detroit, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Flint and surrounding Michigan communities.
Michigan Adoption Considerations
A Michigan homecoming can look very different in January than in July. In cold weather, warm the vehicle before loading the kitten and keep the carrier away from cold drafts. In hot weather, never leave the kitten in a parked vehicle. Year-round, keep the trip direct and the carrier secured.

Prepare the car and home before pickup so the kitten is not waiting outdoors or in an unheated entryway during winter.
Book a local veterinarian before the kitten comes home, especially during busy seasonal periods when new-patient appointments can be limited.
Before Homecoming
Keep the first three days simple: one room, familiar food, clean water, litter, a hiding spot and gentle play. Do not judge a kitten’s long-term personality by the first evening; travel and a new environment can temporarily make even a confident kitten quiet.
Travel & Transportation
Michigan’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development states that cats entering from another state need an official interstate certificate of veterinary inspection completed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian in the state of origin. We recommend checking the current Michigan guidance again before the travel date.
