“Already know you that which you need” – Yoda (the wise little green master from Star Wars)
The one that you need is definitely me. I am more of a young padawon Yoda, in training to be your best friend! Even though I don’t hear much of anything, love and play are universal languages that we can figure out together! You could say I am a very social guy, I have met some other dogs and cats at MAS and have done awesome. I can get a little rambunctious though, so I would probably be best in a home without kids. Not every dog appreciates my hardcore play style either, but I have made several doggy friends hanging out at MAS.
I am ready, willing, and able to use the force to take on adventures and overcome the evils of your stressful day! I can be an absolute goofball when I am outside playing (I love to be outdoors romping around in the yard). But I also love to get attention and curl up afterwards, maybe we can movie marathon with the best movies of all time…you guessed it, Star Wars! If Star Wars isn’t your thing though (we will agree to disagree), I am happy to hang out with you anyways and soak up your affection while you watch whatever else.

Jazzelle is a kitten herself but was found nursing her own litter of kittens. She is ready and waiting to find a home of her own.
Meet Jazzelle, a little sweetheart with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Even though she’s still just a kitten herself, Jazzelle has already experienced the joys and challenges of motherhood, and now she’s ready to find her forever home where she can be pampered and adored.
Jazzelle is the perfect blend of quiet and affectionate. She may be soft-spoken, but she has a way of making her presence known with her warm, inviting demeanor. She loves to approach people for a gentle pet or a cozy snuggle and will often be the first to greet you with a soft purr. Despite her calm nature, Jazzelle has a playful side too! She enjoys playing with toys and will happily entertain herself—or better yet, invite you to join in the fun.
Jazzelle co-exists with other cats and would do ok in a home with one other cat, but too many cats makes her anxious. Her easy-going nature makes her a wonderful addition to any home.
If you’re looking for a loving, gentle companion who’s ready to settle into a forever home, Jazzelle is the perfect choice. She’s patiently waiting for someone to give her the love and attention she deserves—could that be you?
Jazzelle has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She has an approximate birthdate of October, 2023. Her adoption fee is $120.
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.
