It’s us again! Just coming to show off some adorable little ones! 🐾 We have so many sweet kittens looking for their forever homes—from tiny toe-bean babies to spunky little explorers ready to pounce into your heart. They come in all ages, colors, and purr-sonalities, and while a few still need a bit more time to grow, they can be pre-adopted to make sure they’re yours the moment they’re ready! Many are all set to go home now, bursting with love, zoomies, and biscuit-making energy.

Come visit us Monday–Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., to meet our kittens and our charming adult cats—because every age has its own magic! Want some cuddle or playtime? The best time to stop by is between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., when they’re wide-eyed, wiggly, and ready to show off their best pounces and purrs.

All of our currently available animals are listed on our website, and if one steals your heart, you can fill out an adoption application online or right here at the shelter. Whether you're looking for a lap snuggler, a brave little adventurer, or a tiny mischief-maker to keep you on your toes, your future best friend is waiting just around the corner. Those who are on medical holds will not show.

All applications will be considered the same, never first come first serve. If there are a few applications for the same animal, patience is the answer and we will reach out. https://huronhumanesocietyinc.org/available-cats/

Cloverleaf came to us as a stray with her little ones, who are now in foster care getting the medical attention they need. Cloverleaf is a lovely black and white tuxedo with the most adorable crooked mustache!

She may be a bit shy when you first meet her, but with some patience, she’ll warm right up. Once she does, you’ll be rewarded with constant purring and sweet little meows! Her favorite thing in the world? Chin scratches! She LOVES them so much, and if you don’t give them, she might just tell you off with a playful little meow.

Cloverleaf is looking for someone to give her the time, love, and patience she deserves. Could that be you? 💖

🐾 Visit Cloverleaf at the Huron Humane Society!
Open Monday - Saturday, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

📞 Have questions or want to learn more? Call us at (989) 356-4794.

Ready to meet her? If you've already given her time and want to make her part of your family, apply today!

🌟 Remember Bud? This sweet dude is neutered and up to date on his shots/rabies vaccination. If you met him early on, you won’t believe the glow-up this boy has had! 🌟

When Bud first arrived, he was shy, unsure, and kept to himself — but wow, has he blossomed! Today, Bud is a total lovebug who adores other cats, probably dogs too (as far as we can tell!), and is all about the attention. Pets? Yes, please. Snuggles? Even better. He’s become a confident, affectionate guy who just wants to be part of the action — and your heart. 💙

And meet his new friend — Europa! 🪐
This gorgeous tortie is named after one of Jupiter’s moons (because she’s out of this world, obviously!) and she’s every bit as sweet as she is beautiful. Europa came in with a little one, so she’s available for pre-adoption while she finishes up her mama duties. She's gentle, social, and gets along with other animals too — a truly stellar kitty.

Come meet Bud, Europa, and all of our adoptable friends at the Huron Humane Society! You might just meet your new best friend 💫

🌟 Meet Mimas 🌟
This stunning tortoiseshell beauty is about 2–3 years old and named after the constellation Mimas — because she shines just as brightly.

Originally found as a stray with two kittens of her own, Mimas had already proven herself to be a devoted mama. But her heart had room for more — later that same day, four orphaned kittens arrived, and without hesitation, she welcomed them as if they were hers.

Her gentle spirit, gorgeous marbled coat, and nurturing soul make her truly one of a kind. This is motherhood — calm, kind, and full of love. 🩷

Her and her adopted kittens can be pre-adopted at this time with an approved application. Mimas can go home once the littles are weaned and they can go home once they’re at 2 months and healthy!

Come visit the crew and others, along with the help from a staff member!

🚀 Calling All Dog Lovers — Meet Io & Ta**us! 🌌

Out of a galaxy of six adorable siblings who landed at the shelter, only Io and Ta**us are still looking for their forever homes — and trust us, these two are absolute stars!

These cosmic cuties are both boys, named after celestial wonders because, honestly, they’re out of this world. With a magical mix of pit bull, husky, red collie, and poodle, they’ve got the best of all worlds — fluffy, multicolored coats, expressive eyes, and personalities that shine brighter than the Milky Way.

They’re sweet, snuggly, and full of puppy mischief in the best way. Potty training? They’re doing great! They go right away when taken outside and are already picking up the routine like little geniuses.

They will be large dogs when fully grown as they are already near 20 pounds. Space is definitely needed for these boys, along with understanding the breed!

If you or someone you know is ready to open their heart to one (or both!) of these beautiful boys, please reach out or stop by the shelter to meet them. Let’s find these two their forever homes and complete their journey from shelter stars to beloved family members.

Meet Owl Woman — your future boss and cuddle buddy (if you're lucky)! This gorgeous tabby may be between 7-8 years young, but with her bright green eyes and youthful energy, she looks like she’s got the soul of a kitten! She was surrendered through no fault of her own, and now she’s looking for a new human to call her own.

While she might give you a “talking to” when she's had enough of you (she’s got boundaries, ok?!), deep down she’s the sweetest companion you could ask for. She’ll keep you on your toes and remind you that *she* is in charge.

Owl Woman may not be the biggest fan of other cats and hasn’t quite made up her mind about other fur babies, so she’s looking for a home where she’s the one and only queen.

If you want a fun, quirky, and loving companion who will gladly take over your heart—and your couch— Owl Woman is the one for you!

Come meet her anytime Monday-Saturday from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. or give the shelter a call at (989) 356-4794.

Do you remember Anaconda and her littles?

Well, we have some news for you! They are growing fast as ever! Their little personalities are starting to shine through—curious, playful, and absolutely adorable. They're getting more adventurous each day, and it's been such a joy watching them explore the world (with plenty of kitten zoomies and snuggles along the way!).

These precious babies are still available for pre-adoption, and so is their loving momma, Anaconda. She’s been an incredible mama—gentle, protective, and affectionate. Now it’s her turn to find a forever home where she can be spoiled and adored.

Anaconda (F)
Python (F)
Turtle (M) Pre-adopted.
Gecko (M)
Dragon (M)
Tortoise (F)
Lizard (M)
Alligator (M), runt of the crew but devours food!

If you’re looking to add some furry love to your life, now’s the perfect time to get your application in. Pre-adopting means you’ll be first in line to take your new companion home once they’re ready!

❤️ ADOPTED ❤️

Say hello to Chief Oshkosh—a charming little guy with the sweetest peppered feet you’ve ever seen and a heart full of love. At just 2 years old, this Jack Russell/Terrier mix is the perfect blend of playful energy and tender affection.

Chief LOVES to chase tennis balls, although the concept of actually bringing them back? Not quite there yet—but hey, we admire his enthusiasm! He’s also a big fan of squeaky toys, and his tail does a full-body wag when he hears one.

He gets along great with other dogs, and he seems to do well with cats, too. What Chief really craves most is human company. If he’s not getting attention, he’ll let out a soft, sweet whine-howl—just to remind you that he's there, ready for cuddles. Because of that, a home where someone is around more often than not would be ideal for him.

Come meet Chief Oshkosh at the Huron Humane Society, open Monday–Saturday, 11 AM–5 PM, or apply online here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfNhAtpqC--U3olYKHM_Q0NcCDXx0qKyhYxa0UT0uM05_6XaA/viewform?pli=1

As always, we carefully review all applications to find the best match, especially when there are many—thank you for your patience and understanding!

Let’s find Chief Oshkosh his forever home!
