Let's talk community cats! 😻

What are some signs that the cat in your neighborhood is a community cat and not an outdoor pet? Community cats will not have a collar or any sort of identification. If you are unsure if the cat is owned or not, consider checking in with your neighbors.

Are all community cats mean? No! Community cats live on a spectrum from completely unsocialized and fearful of humans to more outgoing and friendly (usually from a distance). If you're trying to make friends with fluffy, keep in mind that building trust takes time and patience.

These cats are often brought to shelters by well-intentioned people; however, they are not used to living with humans and usually are not traditional adoption candidates due to their unsocialized nature.

To combat this issue, MHS offers a "working cat" program where these cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and available to be adopted outside city limits and their adoption fee is simply what you choose to donate. For available or future available working cats, you can submit an application in person at MHS or online here: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/CBIA/47631-working-cat 🐾

ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT! ❤💩

Got an ex that belongs in the trash? We’ve got the perfect way to “dump” them—for a good cause! 🐾🐶

For a $10 donation, we’ll write your ex’s name (or friend, family member, coworker, etc... we don't judge!) on a dog p**p bag. For a $25 donation, we will write their name on a trash bag in our play yard or kennel areas.

All proceeds help provide food, shelter, and medical care for our furry friends! Because love stinks… but helping animals doesn’t! ❤️🐾

Come join our dog walking crew! 🐶

Our dog walkers offer our adoptable dogs time out of their kennels to ensure they are given plenty of exercise, have clean and cozy kennels to return to, and of course plenty of treats and attention.

Ready to become a dog walking volunteer? Your next step will be to attend a volunteer orientation! Our next orientation is scheduled for Saturday, February 22nd from 9:30-10:15am. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can confirm your attendance by emailing our volunteer coordinator at [email protected].

Meena might just take the cake for being the sweetest cat ever!

She is around 8 years old but is so petite you probably would guess she's much younger than that. Meena is gentle, quiet, and has a soft, loving personality. We think whoever adopts this girl will win the kitty lottery!

Visit Meena today until 6pm or check out our adoptable pets online at www.midlandshumanesociety.org/adopt 🐾

Update: Adopted!!

We are shocked that none of these cuties have found a home! They are 8-week-old American Staffordshire Terrier/French Bulldog (according to a DNA test performed on one puppy) and they're ready to be your valentine!

💕Olive - Female mix who looks like a Frenchie, has beautiful tan with an almost silver look. She came in with a cherry eye but Dr F was able to do surgery while being spayed and she is looking better every day.

💕Rocco - Male dark brindle mix with a Pug like face. He loves to follow you around and be right by your side. He has a very gentle personality by himself but can hold his own with his siblings.

💕Ruby - Female reddish tan coat with white front leggings. She is a block and has more of a bulldog look to her. She looks and acts tough but will sit in your lap and be content with a toy while her siblings run around her trying to get her attention.

💕Petey - Male white mix with a black patch over his eye and brown ears. He is the biggest of the group and craves all your attention. He is shy at first but if you give him the chance he will give you unlimited kisses.

They're currently still in foster care as our adoption floor is full, but they are ready to find a home to call their own! They will need to be adopted to an area without a breed ban.

Happy Monday! We have some new friends on our adoption floor today that would absolutely love to meet you. Visit us unti...

NOW LOOKING FOR WORKING CAT HOMES! 😻

These cats are not socialized and prefer to avoid people, but will help with pest control in your barns, warehouses, etc. As there is no TNR program within city limits, these cats need to be rehomed to the county.

These cats still require daily care including feeding & watering, and a dry, warm/cool shelter where they are safe out of the elements. Working cats come spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and their adoption fee is what you choose to donate.

For available or future available working cats, you can submit an application in person at MHS or online here: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/CBIA/47631-working-cat

Meet Bear 👋

This 1-year-old Husky is looking for a dedicated & experienced owner who can show him the world isn't so scary. Bear has a small circle, and once you are invited in you will be shown unconditional love (and lots of leaning on you for butt scratches). Anyone outside his circle will need to be patient to gain his trust and luckily some treats and soft words really help! Bear will be a great companion for someone willing to work with him to get him out of his shell.

Interested in meeting Bear? Complete an adoption application here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CBIA/Dog and we will schedule a meet and greet with you upon an approved application 🐾
