My story

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

Timon
Timon is an orange male DSH

DOB: May 2023
Adoption fee: $75

I am a sweet but shy kitten! I can take a little bit of time to come around but when I do, I am full of love! I do love to cuddle up with my siblings and just relax. I can be quite playful like an average kitten, but I do enjoy sitting back and observing my surroundings! I can be very spunky when I want to be, but I will calm down and find my place to rest. I enjoy pets and scratches (especially on my butt and chin!) I am learning what it means to love humans and I am growing each and every day..

I would do fine in a home with another cat who is looking for a playmate and a cuddle partner, and I may do okay with a cat friendly dog with a slow and positive introduction. I may also be okay as an only cat. I would do best in a home with older children (8+) pending observation. I can be very unsure at first and may take some time to come around to the new environment. I do not enjoy being picked up; I will tolerate it for a bit, but I will let you know when I have had enough.

I know I would make a lovely companion for the right person, couple, or family! I am looking for my purrfect fit!

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.

More about this shelter

About Us:
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 provide safe and responsible care for unwanted or abused companion animals
-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
