Windsor/Essex County Humane Society The official page of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. We can't help them without your support.

We rely on public and corporate donations and fundraising campaigns to support our humane operations. The generosity of the community we serve helps us support the animals in our care and allows us to offer a wide range of programs and services. These services include cruelty investigations, humane education, assisting distressed and abused animals (domestic and wild), pet food bank, and our owned animal and feral spay and neuter programs.

Our Cozy Cats campaign is underway, and we’re getting closer to transforming our seven outdated intake rooms into brighter, more comforting spaces for the thousands of cats who pass through each year.

We still need your help to reach our $12,500 goal.

Your gift will help us install broad-spectrum lighting to mimic sunlight, perch hideaways, and soothing enrichment videos — small upgrades that make a big difference in helping cats feel calm and supported.

💛 Donate today and help us build a more comforting space for cats who need it most.

Friday Featured Pets - Meet Kida and Koda!

Hi, we're Koda and Kida - a bonded pair of sweet, gentle cats looking for a calm, loving home. I'm Kida, the cuddly one. I love lap time, snuggles, and being close to my humans. Koda is more independent and shy. He takes a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he's a quiet, loyal companion. We both prefer not to be picked up and really don't like belly rubs, but we do love crinkle balls and string toys! We came from a busy home with kids, other cats, and a lot of noise. It was overwhelming, and sometimes we got anxious and had litterbox accidents. We're hoping to find a peaceful home where we can finally feel safe and secure. If you're patient, kind, and have a quiet space to share, we'd love to be your new best friends. We're Hidden Gems, so our adoption fee is waived ($30 admin fee still applies)!

Building trust with a fearful or reactive dog or cat takes patience, understanding, and consistency. The goal isn’t to erase fear — it’s to build confidence and safety.

Review the graphic for steps to take to help your pet feel less fearful.

Remember - whether it’s a growl, hiss, or swat, your pet is speaking to you. Fear and aggression are communication, not misbehavior. By learning to read and respect their signals, we help dogs and cats feel safe, supported, and understood in a sometimes overwhelming world.

Monday Morning Smile!

"Kato was a 3 month old puppy when we got him and is now 1 year old. Kato is doing great! He is spoiled rotten with lots of treats and lovings and has been on many vacations and adventures. He loves exploring new places, loves his car rides and making new friends. We are so happy to have Kato in our family he is so loved.🥰💓"

For Giving Tuesday this year, we’re working to upgrade our 7 cat intake rooms — spaces with no windows that need a little extra love. With your help, we can:
✨ Add broad-spectrum lighting to mimic natural sunlight
✨ Install perch hideaways in every kennel
✨ Add monitors to play enrichment videos that keep cats comforted and entertained

These upgrades will make a huge difference for the thousands of cats who pass through our doors each year, helping them feel calmer, happier, and more at home.

🎁 Help us reach our goal before Giving Tuesday! Donate today to bring comfort and enrichment to cats who need it most.

Friday Featured Pet!

Meet Milo - Your New Best Friend with a Lot to Say! Don't let his age fool you - Milo may have a little gray on his muzzle, but he's still full of life and has plenty of pep in his step! This sweet and spunky gentleman is looking for a forever home where he can enjoy the finer things in life: long naps, tasty treats, and telling you all about his day. Milo is an excellent communicator and isn't shy about sharing his thoughts (especially around mealtime!). Because he's quite the talker, he'd do best in a home with space-apartments aren't really his style. He needs a place where his voice can be heard... without getting you in trouble with the neighbors! Did we mention he loves food? He'll happily help clean the counters if you leave anything out, so he's hoping for a home with humans who are just a bit more careful than he is sneaky. Milo is a bit of a loner when it comes to other dogs. He doesn't want a rowdy roommate-just some peace and quiet. He's best suited to live with calm, respectful canine companions who understand personal space and won't pester him for playtime. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and delightfully quirky best friend who's got stories to tell and snacks to share, Milo might just be your guy. Are you ready to hear all about it-from Milo himself?

We have cat shelters available for purchase in shelter while supplies last. They are $30 each, and provide a cozy place for community cats to stay during the cold winter months. Supplies are limited, but we will be making more throughout the next several months. To avoid disappointment, those interested can call 519-966-5751 first to check on supplies before coming to purchase.

A huge thank you to the Enterprise team for volunteering their time to build the shelters!
