Do You See a Cat In Your Future? Sissy May Be Your Girl!

Meet Sissy, a female Siamese who is 10 years old.
Sissy came to the Humane Society of West Michigan when her owner passed away and she had nowhere to go. Sissy has lived with other cats, but would do best in a home that gives her a little time to decompress and a slow introduction. Sissy is loving but aloof and enjoys respectful pets and lounging in the sun!

Foster’s Needed:

As shelters and rescue organizations nationwide continue to be at capacity, the call for foster families has never been more urgent. Fostering not only provides a safe and nurturing environment for animals awaiting adoption, but it also offers a rewarding experience for individuals and families alike. Whether you're able to care for a puppy, a kitten, or a senior pet, your support can make a world of difference. By opening your home and heart, you're giving these animals a chance at happiness and a bridge to their next chapter of life. Become a foster parent today by visiting hswestmi.org/foster.

Working Cat Program:

Working cats are often cats that are under-socialized, but thrive in a less social environment. They are excellent pest control. Whether you have a barn, warehouse, or garden, working cats are skilled hunters that help keep rodents at bay without harmful chemicals. Adopting a working cat is a win-win – you provide a loving space to a deserving cat while enjoying a greener, more sustainable approach to pest control.

These cats, often overlooked in traditional adoption settings, thrive in environments where they can exercise their hunting instincts. They may be shy around people but form unique bonds with their surroundings and the humans who care for them. By giving a working cat a chance, you're providing a valuable service to your property and making a positive impact on animal welfare. Visit our website to learn more.
