My story

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

Pia
Pia is a Female DSH
DOB: May of 2025

Adoption fee: $75.00

I had a pretty rough start to life, but I am slowly getting the hang of it! I am a typical torti; stubborn, full of attitude, and a sweetheart. I was in foster for a few months, and it did take me a while to come around and be comfortable. I can be aloof and shy at first, but once I get comfortable, I am a cuddle bug and a sweet little girl. I am quite small for my age, but I do have a large personality. I am curious and like to explore. I am growing in confidence every day, it just takes me a bit longer than most to come around. I love to observe and watch my surroundings. I enjoyed watching cat TV and even some regular tv in my foster home.

I would do my best in a home with another cat(s)! I would do good in a home with one of my cat friends here at the shelter! Other cats help with my confidence and help me come out of my shell. I would do okay in a home with a cat friendly dog with a slow and proper introduction. I am best suited with older kids who respect my boundaries!

I am a loving and sweet girl looking for my forever home!

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
