Wyatt is kind of a menace, but in the cutest possible way.
He's two years old, VERY active and would definitely benefit from harness training or an outdoor space like a catio/screened in porch. He's usually too much for other cats, and he loves kick toys and wand toys or anything that could be used as one. He's not loving his time here with us, so we're looking for a foster or adopter who can give him the time and attention he needs.
He's not destructive, but he is LOUD about his wants and needs. If you're not giving him enough play and allowing him to get that energy out, you're going to hear about it. He was once an outdoor cat, and loves going for strolls on his harness, but he doesn't want a short stroll, he wants an ADVENTURE. He'd be a perfect candidate for someone who loves hiking and is willing to put in the time and patience to get him acclimated better to his harness.
Are we describing your dream? Hiking with a beautiful Maine Coon-looking cat who's just as pretty as any scenic view?

Giving Tuesday 2024
So far, in 2024, LCHS has accepted 492 dogs and 386 cats into our lifesaving program. We hope this video helps you to remember a few of the sweet faces from the past year.
A letter from Lisa Glunt, our Executive Director:
Greetings from the Family that is the Leon County Humane Society!
As we near the end of every year, I always encourage our staff to reflect upon all they’ve accomplished. It’s easy to leave our engines in overdrive, so it's a reminder to pause and remember the faces and stories of those assisted and saved in 2024. To you, our donors, you’re very much a part of every one of those saves, and we hope this video helps you to reflect on each of those lives saved.
It’s easy for a year to sneak by. Through my reflection of 2024, I’m reminded of heartbreaking hoarding cases our team’s responded to, relief given to shelters in neighboring counties with LCHS being the sole lifeline for many animals making their way out, tireless weeks of individual care given to sick cats who arrived at LCHS seemingly with little to no hope, and an increase in pet owners seeking to surrender their pets for often absurd but sometimes heartbreaking reasons. It’s been a difficult year to say the least.
At the same time, every difficult memory is matched by a small, but driven LCHS staff who continue to step up to every challenge, and an awesome allegiance of volunteers and foster families who walk through these challenges alongside us. While LCHS makes a world of difference for individual animals every year, there’s an undeniable need to do MORE. We have high hopes for what LCHS can accomplish moving forward, but we need the continued generosity of our supporters to make it happen.
We aspire to rescue even more animals from underfunded shelters in neighboring counties. We envision creating a resource for local pet owners seeking emergency veterinary care for their personal pets when they want to do the right thing on their own but can’t. We desir
Right before Hurricane Helene hit, a Good Samaritan noticed this cat outside in their neighborhood and wanted to keep him safe through the upcoming storm. We scanned for a chip, and there wasn't one, and he was posted as found through the City of Tallahassee - Animal Service Center like all found pets should be. Lost cats without a microchip don't have a stray hold period, so we accepted him into our program, but still wondered where he'd come from before. Yesterday we heard that an owner had come forward! Come to find out, this sweet boy had been missing since February when he snuck out an open window. His owner, despite her lease ending and having to move back to Palm Beach, had never given up hope that they'd be reunited. She looked for him everywhere, and still checked found animal postings from afar. When she came across his Found posting, she reached out immediately and the next day made the 5 hour drive to get her baby back. Theo immediately recognized his mom, and they had a tearful reunion. -Assume that all found pets have a loving owner who wants them back. Even if they look worse for wear, you never know how long they've been missing, whether they were lost or stolen, or how hard their owner is looking until you give them a chance to come forward. We're always happy to scan found animals for a microchip, and you can report found animals online at https://www.talgov.com/animals/asc-found -Please, microchip your pets! We could have found his owner immediately with a microchip and reunited them sooner. The City of Tallahassee - Animal Service Center not only handles lost and found pets as a government agency, but they also provide services to the public including $10 microchipping. Call them today to schedule a microchip for your pet! Learn more https://www.talgov.com/animals/asc-id
Dax (1 yr 5mo, neutered Doodle) was transferred from a shelter in April. While we don’t know his history, his energy and lack of training made him an initial challenge for fosters. He’s spent the last two months with our friend, Moe Reeder, where she’s donated the attention and training that so many dogs are denied; leading to their surrender. Now it’s time to find Dax a home! Dax is well trained and he knows many commands. He’s crate trained and does great with other dogs as well. Check out more about Dax and find the application here: https://www.leoncountyhumane.org/animal/dax-2/
Need entertainment in your life? Meet 3 year old, Perry! Perry’s been with us since June and he’s won over all staff and volunteers graced by his studly man presence. Plus, Perry visited our friends at WCTV.tv today where he showed off his less-energetic couch potato side. Perry is neutered and ready for adoption.

Hi! My name is Rodney aka Hot Rod 🔥 because I’m a handsome, playful dude. I love everyone - especially the ladies.
I’m a 4 to 5 month old shepherd mix. You may have noticed my best feature - my ears. My ears hear everything especially praises and my favorite words are “Good Boy”
I am kennel trained but still working on potty training outside the kennel and off leash. I am a quick learner I know commands “sit” and “no”. I’m a curious one who likes to explore!
I can walk on a leash but I’m still a little clumsy because of my large paws. I am timid at first but I get along with friendly dog around my size or larger who are playful. I need a fenced in yard and an active lifestyle!

The kitten who had nowhere to go and arrived at our door with a severe Upper Respiratory Infection has recovered and is doing great!
He’s very appreciative of all the love and support he’s received, and will be available for adoption soon.

Mama and Baby Cat from Royal Canin is what we use to take our bottle baby kittens and transition them to real food! It’s always very well received and helps them grow. They go through A LOT of it, and we could use help restocking our pantry! Donations can be sent to or dropped off at 413 Timberlane Road, Tallahassee FL, 32312
