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.

KEEP YOUR PETS SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAY
Thanksgiving is a special holiday that brings together family and friends. We know it may be tempting to share some of your Thanksgiving dinner with your pets, but it can also bring some hazards for them.

Please see the graphic below for foods you should avoid feeding your pets during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pets of the Week!

Meet the purr-fect pair, 7-month-old AJ and Chesterina; they're ready to double your daily dose of cat joy!

This dynamic duo started out a little shy when they first arrived at the shelter, but they've settled in beautifully and now greet every visitor with affectionate head bumps and rubs.

Playful and snuggly, they keep themselves amused with all sorts of toys—feather wands and toy mice top the list! After a fun-filled morning, they love nothing more than cuddling up together for a cozy afternoon nap.

These two kitties are fabulous friends and dream of finding a forever home where they can continue their adventures together. To sweeten the deal, we're offering a BOGO special for the lucky family who adopts them both!

If you have room in your heart (and lap) for two lovable kitties, then AJ and Chesterina are the ones for you!

Pet of the Week!

Eight-month-old Ravenclaw is a gentle, fun-loving pup, and is an easy girl to fall in love with.

She's a bit reserved when making new friends, but once the ice is broken, she's a cuddler extraordinnaire.
