About Pistol Pete

Pistol Pete, true to his name, packs plenty of charm behind his rugged looks. Born in August 2023, he arrived in Grand Rapids, MI in early 2026 after weathering more than his share of hard knocks. Not long before rescue, he limped through the streets with a painful nail bed infection and fresh bite wounds on his legs. Old scars and a permanent, bent "nubbin" tail—once broken and now forever askew—hint at a life of scrapping to survive. He spent nearly a year fending for himself before finally letting his guard down for a kind human. Turns out, Pete is all heart. He soaks up love, leans into pets, and brings a calm, easygoing presence wherever he lands. His gentle temperament shows no hint of his rough history. These days, he's regaining his weight and getting back to full strength after a tough bout with parasites. Pistol Pete does well with other cats and children and would be a steady, friendly addition to most homes. He enjoys company—whether human or feline—and no longer wants any part of street life. What he wants now is simple: a soft bed, a safe place, and someone to love him back. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
