Megan from the Humane Society of West Michigan wasn't able to come into the studio this morning so we talked on the phone about Jess!

We can’t believe perfect puff Jess is STILL waiting to be adopted after over 250 days in our care! If you love the independent spirit of cats, then Jess is the girl for you.

Jess's foster mom says "Jess is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Although not too fond of touch most of the time, she is known to occasionally let her boundaries down and give in to a purr-filled pet session--biscuits included! Early every morning she loves to wake me up with one of the many beautiful and heart-wrenching songs she has composed about her eternal hunger, preferentially for wet food! Jess will make the perfect companion and guardian for anyone who is lucky enough to have her."

So stop out as often as you'd like for a delicious drink supporting a great cause this spring!

While you curb your coffee cravings at Outside Coffee Co, we need YOUR help satisfying the craving of every pet in our shelter for CHEESE!!

Believe it or not, both spray and cream cheese are the #1 used enrichment treats in our care--our cats and dogs will never turn their noses up at creamy cheese! Offering high-value treats like these helps us administer medications easily, practice fear-free vet care, and encourage picky eaters to eat when they might not otherwise. Any brand of plain cream cheese will work, and any flavor of squeeze cheese is appreciated too, like the Kong variety packs!

To make a donation, please drop off items at the front desk anytime during our open hours, or you can donate through our Amazon or Chewy Wish Lists on our website, and have them mailed to us at 3077 Wilson Drive NW, Grand Rapids MI, 49534
