Meet Tom, he is a 6-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a lot of love to give! When Tom first arrived, he was understandably a little nervous in his new surroundings. But once he had some time to settle in and feel safe, his warm and affectionate personality truly began to shine. It’s clear that beneath that shy start is a very loving and social guy who enjoys being around his people once he feels comfortable.
To help Tom succeed in his new home, adopters should plan to start him off in a quiet, single room where he can relax and adjust at his own pace. This calm space will help reduce his stress and give him the time he needs to get to know his new family. With patience and kindness, Tom is likely to blossom into the wonderful companion we know he can be.
Tom has had experience with younger children and has been noted to be friendly with them. As he settles in, it’s a good idea for adopters to supervise interactions with kids and allow Tom to approach at his own speed. Giving him a quiet place to retreat to while he adjusts will help him feel safe and confident. With time and understanding, Tom could absolutely enjoy being part of a family with children.
If there are other pets in the home, slow and thoughtful introductions will be key to Tom’s success. Rushing the process—especially with other cats—may make it harder for him to build those friendships. If dogs are part of the household, adopters should plan for a careful separation and gradual introduction process so Tom can feel secure as he learns about his new furry neighbors.
With patience, a calm start, and lots of love, Tom has all the potential to become a wonderful, affectionate member of the family. Once he knows he’s home, this charming boy is ready to share his sweet personality and companionship with the people lucky enough to adopt him.
He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. If you have further questions, please call the shelter at (517) 626-6060 or email our adoption staff at adoptions@AdoptLansing.org.

Public visiting hours at the CAHS Shelter are 12-7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday. No appointment necessary. Adoption profiles must be started 15 minutes before close.
It is important to bring any children in the house with you to meet potential pets. We also recommend that all family members be present for an adoption. This will help ensure that the potential pet is the best possible fit for everyone in your family!
What to Bring
Government-issued ID
Cash or a credit card to pay for your adoption fee(s) and optional supplies
A carrier for your adopted cat or a leash and collar for your adopted dog. These items are available for sale at the CAHS Shelter if you do not own them.
About the Adoption
Please plan for approximately an hour to complete your adoption. If the shelter is busy, it could take longer. You will be asked to complete a one-page profile and then an Adoption Counselor will meet with you to discuss your pet(s) of interest.
Animals go home at the time of adoption. Adoption Counselors invest time with you to make sure you’re fully informed before you leave and have all the resources you need to introduce your new pet(s) into your home.
After the Adoption
About a week after you adopt, a CAHS Adoption Counselor will follow-up with you to see how things are going and offer assistance should you need it.
Please note, CAHS does not offer refunds on adoption fees. We encourage you to call regarding any difficulties you have. We have many resources available to help make your adoption a successful match.
We’re glad you’ve decided to adopt a shelter pet!
