My story

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

oy
Joy is a black and white female DSH
DOB: December of 2021
Adoption fee: $75.00

I am still new and getting used to my surroundings and finding my place in the cat room. I am a very sweet girl, I love attention. You can pet me all day long and I’ll even show you my belly. I am very outgoing, but love my naps. I am a talker, I will let you know when I want your attention.

I would do best in a home with children 8+ pending observation and experience, I do like my space and hope to have children that respect that. I should do good in a home with another cat looking to co-exist. I could also be good as an only pet. I would do okay in a home with a cat-friendly dog with a proper introduction. I don’t mind being handled, but I will let you know when I am ready to be put down.

I am a cuddly and spunky girl; I will make a purr-fect companion for the right person, couple, or family

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
-Education about responsible pet ownership
