Capital Area Humane Society

The Capital Area Humane Society (CAHS) is a non-profit, animal-welfare organization in Lansing, MI. More than 10,000 animals come through our doors each year.

At the Capital Area Humane Society, we are passionate about animals. Our wide variety of programs and services exist to serve the pets and people of Mid-Michigan. We have an excellent staff of nearly 40 animal lovers who see each adoption as a victory. More than 2,500 volunteers devote 32,000+ hours of time each year to ensure our animals are properly socialized, exercised, and loved. The shelter

receives no tax dollars or government funding and relies on the generosity of donors to help us provide love, food, shelter, and medical care to homeless and abandoned pets. We are a local, private, and independent animal welfare organization founded in Lansing in 1936 and all donations and gifts directed to the CAHS are used to assist the animals in the greater Lansing community.

Bellamy just loves breakfast time and was excited when he heard the dishes clanking.

Say hello to handsome Bellamy!

At on-year-old, Bellamy is simply an a-meow-zing cat! He's a real charmer with a playful, affectionate personality...sprinkled with a little bit of spice too.
Bellamy dreams of a pampered life with days spent playing with his favorite toys, basking in a sunny spot, and snuggling on a warm lap.
He can be a flirty fella, asking for some attention with a gentle rub or head bump. Bellamy will welcome some soft pets in return; head scratches are definitely his favorite.
He can be sort of an independent guy and won't mind too much if you've got things to do. Bellamy would be content with being close by and just hanging out.

This sweet boy is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. As our Pet of the Week, Bellamy has a reduced adoption fee.

So if you're looking for a real "cool" cat, then Bellamy is your boy. He's ready to make some memories with you.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month!

WHY ADOPT A SENIOR PET?
1. They're already trained.
2. Their personalities have developed.
3. They are less demanding.
4. They are more in need of re-homing.
5. Senior pets are grateful for your kindness.

YOU CAN BE A HERO!

Stop by today and meet one of our fabulous oldies but goodies!

Prepare to fall head over paws for Baby!

She's a charming, six-year-old lady with a heart of gold. Her soulful brown eyes and gentle demeanor will melt your heart. While Baby may start off a bit reserved , she warms up quickly and is ready for all kinds of affection. Soft rubs on her ears or cheeks make her smile. She really is a sweet, gentle gal.
Baby loves her time outdoors too, whether it's a leisurely stroll or just some casual sniffing time in the yard. She's up for hanging out with some dog friends and may enjoy a canine or a feline friend in her new home.
Baby is a real dream-– and she's waiting for that special someone to give her that forever home she deserves. So what are you waiting for?
Come and meet Baby today and let her adorable, loving nature steal your heart!

Baby is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives. As our Pet of the Week, Baby has a reduced adoption fee.

Are you on the fence about adopting? Consider our two-week Test Drive Adoption Program. It's a great way to see how Baby fits in your home before making things official. For more information, call 517-626-6060 or email us at [email protected].
