My story

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

Silas is a male black DSH
DOB: July of 2023
Adoption fee: $75.00

I am a very sweet boy who is still learning confidence. I can be shy at first, but when I get to know you, you will see my loving and goofy personality! I am coming out of my shell more and more every day and learning just how awesome humans can be!! I am a playful boy; I enjoy playing with toys and the other cats. I am sweet and nice; I enjoy receiving pets and scratches. I can be independent as well; I like to find a nice place to curl up and nap in a comfy bed. I am curious and observant; I enjoy watching all my surroundings and even the nature outside!

I would do best in a home with older children 8+ who are respectful of my space and give me time to adjust. I do not enjoy being picked up, I tolerate it, but I will let you know when I am ready to be put down. I should do okay in a home with another cat, I would be best for a cat looking for a playmate and cuddle buddy. I may be okay in a home with a cat friendly dog who is respectful of my space.

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
