My personality

My story

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

Bess

Bess is a Female Torti DSH DOB: July of 2024
Adoption fee: $75.00

I am a sweet and loving girl with a big personality. I like to get into things and have fun! I am curious and love to get into things and explore! I am quite goofy, and I will be sure to make you laugh. While I can be quite outgoing, I can also be a bit more reserved at times. I do seek out attention when I want pets and love! My personality is growing bigger every day! I love to play with toys and my siblings! After a good play session, you will find me cuddled up and taking a long nap! I am very fun-loving and sweet.

I would do good in a home with another cat that is looking for a friend and playmate. I would do okay in a home with a cat friendly dog with a proper and slow introduction. I should do okay in a home with older children who are respectful of my boundaries. I do not mind being held, but I will let you know when I want down.

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
-The joy of sharing a life with animal companions
