Behind this seemingly stern little face is an all-rounder of a trikitty who will run to greet you at the door and wants to be your BFF! Lady M is a 6 yr old medium sized tiger mix and here’s what Always Hope Animal Rescue in Howell, MI has to say about her:
Lady M is one special lady.
She is a sweet girl who is looking for a quiet home. She is doing great in her foster home and has had time to heal after having her rear leg amputated.
We think she was hit by a car and someone found her and took her to a vet in Holly that Always Hope works very close with. They tried to see if they could save her rear leg but it was apparent that they could not.
She gets around great without it!!!
We put her down as a special needs cat but she doesn't need anything special. She moves just like a 4 legged cat. 🙂
When her foster mom imagines Lady's new furever home she thinks of someone that wants a cat that will be her BFF and just hang out with her. A cat that will be excited to see you when you get home. Someone that has a quiet home and enjoys "hanging out" at home and would love company next to them on the couch while binging Netfix. ♥
She LOVES to be brushed and has beautiful green eyes.
CHARACTERISTICS: Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Smart, Independent, Funny, Quiet, Loves kisses, Dignified, Couch potato
GOOD IN A HOME WITH: Other cats, dogs, children
If you are interested in this pet please fill out our pre-adopt application on our website. You will receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours.
PLEASE only fill out an application if you are ready to adopt at this time.

Psst! - If Lady M is taken or isn’t quite for you, perhaps consider another Michigander trikitty such as, Legoless, Odette (a Nellie-like cat!), Loic (a bipawd with implants!), Betsy, Betty & Cosmo, Holly, and Orion.
While you’re at it, maybe meet some of these amazing MI tripups too: Duncan, Liberty, Trinity, Robbi, Hattie Patty, King, Baxter, Zero, and Rio!
---
And if these tripawds aren’t near enough or the right fit for you, perhaps share them with someone who is?

Note: With any tripawd, it’s good to ask about the reason for the amputation if it’s unlisted, just to get a clearer picture of the pet’s health and history. “Unknown” isn’t a dealbreaker, but more info can help you as a pet parent make a more informed decision!

Uh-oh, Michigan!
FYI (Jerry/Admin) the link to The Pawdoption Guide is broken. It's on this page:
Pawdoption Guide Explains How to Rescue a Tripawd (or any pet!) - Tripawds
Natalie -It works for me, it must have been a glitch. I still have my fubucket powers. If you need something repaired in the future, I would be happy to help you. pm me if Jerry is busy or otherwise.

Brad, thanks for the thought🫂
We can't help as much as we would LOVE to, not at this time anyway😩😩😩! Mr P has too many health issues we are working on. Some will have to see. I could not stress him with a new addition.
We have had too many losses & changes in the last year, none of which were welcome. Saxton and my Dad 15 days apart💔💔💔!!! I am just getting my feet back under me.
I am so thankful Natalie is doing this and being so successful. A bionic bipawd, no less if only I was in the position. I would bring several HOME!!! We are blessed with our tripawd hero, and I hope 🙏🏻 that remains for years to come.

Sorry I meant the link to the actual guide on that page doesn't work for me.

And Holly, I totally understand! I know we are all looking at those adoptable tripawds and wanting to adopt them all lol. I wish I could adopt one myself, but I have two cats that don't get along, and it would be crazy to add another cat (or dog). Scritches to Mr. May!!
And thank you for doing this Natalie!
Sorry I meant the link to the actual guide on that page doesn't work for me.

OH, I see what you mean now. The link in that article. It appears not to be on Tripawds end, but Bethany's the Pawadoption site
Scratches delivered; do the same for Jet & Jery, please.
