Kat (aka Kit Kat) is a 11-month-old Terrier mix who recently found herself in our care in October as a stray. She is a smaller girl weighing only 35 lbs. She has the most adorable satellite ears, knows how to sit, and really likes to be a lap dog. She can be a little shy at first but once she gets comfortable in a home she opens up and shows off her sweet personality. She has so much potential to bring to a new home and is so excited to meet you! She is dog friendly, so if you have another pup at home, she would love to be their best friend. Kat has also spent a little bit of time in a foster home, and she did great around kids, cats and chickens. She is heartworm negative and will be spayed upon adoption.
Kat's $300 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines, microchip AND transport fee to a location near you. We currently have transportation to CT, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA, GA, and TN. Please email transport@hssm.org for more information on transports!

The Humane Society of South Mississippi (HSSM) is the largest animal welfare organization in the state of Mississippi. HSSM’s facility was built using the nation’s leading Children’s Museums as models, with bright colors and oversized architectural sculptures. We offer: pet adoptions, foster program, return-to-owner efforts, spay/neuter and wellness services, volunteer program, pet transports, youth initiatives, a food pantry and pet retention program, an on-site thrift store, and more! In 2024, HSSM cared for over 5,000 homeless pets in house and touched over 16,000 animals in the community.
Since our incorporation in 1952, HSSM has been committed to ending pet overpopulation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. HSSM is the only Open Admissions Animal Shelter in South Mississippi, meaning we accept all animals in need, regardless of age, breed, health, or temperament. This commitment ensures that no lost pet is turned away. Oftentimes our open-admissions status in a community with a disproportionately high number of homeless pets leads to needless euthanasia of adoptable pets in our shelter HSSM has vowed to change this.
