Hey there, I’m Cletus! One of the most handsome hounds at Mackenzie’s!
In addition to my good looks, you may have heard about my absolutely legendary cuddles – I’m one of the best snuggle bugs MAS has to offer. Sometimes I can be shy with new people, but anyone will tell you, my love is worth the wait!….and it doesn’t take long at all, I promise!
I am not as young as I used to be, and as they say, with age comes wisdom….and arthritis…so a quiet and laid-back home would be best for me. I’d prefer to be the only pet in the home since I can be pretty picky about my four-legged friends. Once I’m comfortable with my new environment and after I’ve built up trust & confidence with my new family and home, I would be up for more mellow kinds of adventures. I’m a perfect gentleman on car rides, so taking me out an about would be a fun time for me! I’m happy to lounge around on the couch, but I’d also be interested in checking out hiking trails and tapping into my hound senses. But for now, mellow walks, snuggles, and movie nights are some of the things I like best.
To experience the ultimate cuddles for yourself, fill out an application and be sure to mention me!

Meet Talia, a sweet and independent 10-year-old female cat with a heart full of love. Talia is hyperthyroid but takes her medication like a champ mixed in her wet food, so managing her condition is a breeze.
Talia is a laid-back and quiet girl who adores her human friends and enjoys being pet. She thrives in a peaceful environment where she can be the center of attention. Talia co-exists with other cats, although she would prefer to be the only cat.
If you’re looking for a loving and easygoing cat to share your home with, Talia is the perfect match. She’s ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever family. Will you be the one to give Talia the loving home she deserves?
Talia is on medication for her thyroid, but easily takes it with wet food! She is also FIV+ . However, cats with FIV can live as long and healthy life as cats who do not have FIV.
Talia has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She is approximately 10 years old. Her adoption fee is $95.
If you are interested in any of the cats at Second Chance Cats of West Michigan, go to sccatswm.org/adopt to fill out an application, or stop in during open hours on Fridays from 11-2 or Saturdays and Sundays from 11-4.
