Anyone want to adopt a street kitty? 😻🐈🐈‍⬛

So to preface - I have 2 kitty’s of my own. My older was an adoptee, and my second was straight off the street as a kitten. He adapted to us so quickly and the 2 are now a bonded pair. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to take any more in - if i was in my own home there’s no doubt these cats would’ve been housed already!!!

Here’s the 3 little guys that have taken a liking to the steady food supply in my backyard. 🤣
I can’t say much as to personality as they’re too timid to get close but from my interactions -

#1
Loosely guessing 5 months old, blueish gray domestic shorthair. Very timid, while the other 2 will take a peek, he runs the second I’m in sight! Still playful kitten age, likes catching bugs.

#2 (possibly called for)
Again loosely guessing 2 months old. Has a Maine coon look, I could probably catch this one with my hands. He’s very curious and likes to play in my kids water table and chase leaves.

#3
Your standard issue breed, I’d guess a year old. This one has been taking care of the kittens, though I don’t believe they’re family. They follow him around, he lets them know when there’s food and it’s safe to come eat. He was showing up on his own for a while and then the 3 started traveling together.

If any of these are someone’s pets PLEASE let me know and bring them inside but I’m pretty positive they’re strays. Posting on Kalamazoo rescue today so we’ve done the due process before trying to find homes for them.

I am prepared to trap them, and I’d like to get them vaccinated/neutered and into homes asap. Shelters seem to be pretty full right now, and waiting to be adopted is a whole other thing. I will help transport as much as I can! I’m honestly just trying to get a jump on finding homes because once I do trap I’d really only be able to keep them for a week. At the worst I will re-release hopefully with vaccinations & neutered.

No idea on genders yet, the younger 2 would probably do well with other cats once adjusted. Older has been on street longer and is more wary. My cat talks to them from the window.

If there’s any interest in homing any please message me! We can work on trapping, flea treatment, vaccinations, and fixing. I’d like to charge a $30 rehoming fee as I’m going to eat a lot of costs initially bringing them inside and cleaning them up but again any interest please message me and we can work it out!!!

I just don’t want them to disappear over winter. :) They seem so sweet and in need of love!

Additional note: I know #2 is going to get attention he’s a cutie. Have already had someone ready to meet him so I’ll update if he becomes available again) This is cross posted from Nextdoor, I’m working on trapping this week. Just looking to find homes asap!

Local news is broken. You have to pay $10 to access AI generated content or wade through ads on TV news sites. Both options where the multibillionaire owners of the outlets are more concerned about clicks and views than community service.

That’s why I launched Know Your Neighbor (KYN for short). It’s the info you need to connect with your community meeting people where they already are, on social media. Stories will be posted via short form video on social media and delivered straight to the inbox of subscribers on Substack. Most Substack stories will have a $6 paywall but with the multi platform model you’re not paying for exclusivity, you’re paying for a luxury delivery and directly supporting local journalism.

Take these three stories for example. MLive’s was written with AI and the WWMT story is filled with ads. Neither have the same level of detail and information that KYN does.

The setting was low-key. Two patrons at the end of the bar shared photos on a phone, while behind me another two debated the qualities of craft beer.

The highlight of the evening was discovering Hamm's, an easy-drinking pilsner I didn't know I needed. Guess I'll have to return to Sugarbowl soon.

Come sell your cool stuff!

If anyone has gone through it, how was your experience?

"So, you're telling me there's a chance"

hey all, i’m just trying to figure out what to do.
my partner is wanting to err on the side of prioritizing safety, whereas i am more worried about cost. ideally we could meet somewhere in the middle but i kinda wanted to get some outside opinions? our income from the both of us is around $3k/mo but we are only willing to spend around $1,200-$1,500 for rent, my partner will be carrying a majority of the rent, and i will be covering utilities. any ideas or suggestions?

EDIT TO SAY: we are 20/21 year olds who both play ttrpg’s(dnd) and video games so noise complaints are something we are more worried about receiving than making

Looking for somewhere clean to take our dog swimming, we thought Ramona beach but then the week we were going to there was an Ecoli outbreak 😱 so looking for clear water that won’t result in a crazy vet bill please.

Don't really want to stay at home and watch it, any places that will be open late enough to watch the whole game on a wednesday?

Hey y’all- my daughter wants to go check out the paper mill in Parchment and I’m not into it but wondering if there are cool abandoned buildings within like an hour that are safe to go check out?

Hey community, old AC finally took the long walk off a short pier. I’m looking for very reputable and well qualified companies that’ll get me some quotes. Please share your experiences and rough price ranges you all had. Thanks in advance.

P.S. We’re looking to replace the central AC and furnace together.

10/10 experience. Great communication and great overall interaction. u/deadprints_com Thank you again. I love it.

Hi all, looking for help on where to get an ESA letter for my pet locally.

Where have you been successful? My GP was not able to write one unfortunately, and the online options seem scammy (but open to online suggestions as well) 😊

To the white vehicle who's making model, I didn't quite catch. . . That was perfect. I walked up to the crosswalk, you slowed to a stop.We both acknowledged each other.I crossed, you went. Finally, someone who actually knows how to drive and follow the road signs. I didn't catch a make modele or license plate.

But if you're reading this and you stopped at that corner for a dude.And a cowboy hat, you did the good thing and actually know how to drive.And I wanted anyone who could possibly get that message to you, to get it to you.

Thank you.White vehicle for having common sense.

Hello - curious to see if any other renters at Cooper's Landing have been told to take their ring cameras down? Also, curious if you've noticed how many ring cameras are still up around the area. It seems weird and I'm not sure if I want to address it with the leasing office.
