Backdoor Friends Purebred Cat Rescue Start an adoption application

We are a nonprofit, no-kill cat rescue in the Midwest, particularly in Southeast Michigan. We are not supported by any governmental agency, nor do we have a shelter facility. When we have foster home space, we accept abandoned or displaced purebreds in addition to those relinquished whose owners' circumstances have changed. All our rescues have incoming health exams. They are vet-checked, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/Felk, given preventive routine deworming applications, checked for dental health and treated for illness as recommended by our rescue's main veterinary hospital. If long-hair cats are matted they are also groomed. Our mailing address is ​Backdoor Friends Purebred.
