My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mario
Mario is a male Tabby DSH
DOB: April, 2023
Adoption fee: $75.00

I am a goofy and playful cat, slowing calming down as I grow up. I can be a little shy at first with new people, when I get to know you then you will really see the interesting personality I have! I can be affectionate at times, and I can be vocal when I am seeking out attention. I do often seek out attention. I enjoy receiving pets and scratches! I can be quite independent as I grow older, I like to sit back and observe everything around me (especially nature and birds!) I enjoy taking long naps and relaxing! I do enjoy cuddling up with the other cats in the room and playing with them. I really enjoy toys! I am a sweet and nice boy with a big goofy personality!

I should do well with other cats, if they are looking for a playmate. I would do okay as a playmate and cuddle friend for another cat. With a slow and proper introduction, I should do well with a cat friendly dog. I would do better with older children.

If you are interested in being my adopter, please visit my shelter's website and complete the adoption application that is available there! HSSCM.org you can find the applications under the "adoptions" tab.

We are the area's nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887.

Our Mission:
-to protect animals from suffering and cruelty

-to enhance the lives of animals and people through education, adoption, and foster care.

We believe in second chances at the Humane Society of South Central Michigan. Our service area includes all of Calhoun County and parts of Kalamazoo, Barry and Branch counties. We keep animals as long as it takes to find a good home for adoption once the animal passes temperament testing and is checked for good health. The Watkins Road shelter cares for up to 100 animals a day, and adopts out more than 500 animals a year. Countless area residents use the Society’s animal care, adoption and education programs each year. The Humane Society is overseen by a board of directors. We do not receive any government or tax dollars, or national humane organization funding. Our services are made possible by people in our community who care about homeless cats and dogs - people like you!

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan values:
-The ethical and humane treatment of animals
-Its role as a shelter for animals that suffer from pain, fear, and neglect
-Community accountability for the welfare of its animals
-Responsible stewardship of our resources
-Community involvement to achieve our goals
