Lookin for the "Purfect" Cat for Your Family? Benny is the Answer

We have a handsome cat from the Humane Society of West Michigan that is looking for a loving home. Meet Benny the Bengal mix!

Benny is an incredibly handsome cat with a rich, dark cocoa-colored coat and beautiful Bengal-like markings. He's just a lil' cuddlebug, very laid back and quiet. He loves to lay on his foster's chest and is content to nap the day away.

He'd prefer to be your only furbaby, but he loves people and has done well with older, respectful kids in the past! This social baby is always looking for pets, and he's happy to chat with you and tell you all about his day. Benny is a total lovebug, and his only New Year’s resolution is to find a furever home!

We are OVERWHELMED by the generosity of this community year-round, but, especially during the holiday season!

Because of the support of our Stocking Sponsorship program–every single pet in our care had a stocking sponsored for the holiday--including pets in the shelter, pets in foster, plus several pets that were adopted before the holidays!

THANK YOU so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for supporting our pets this holiday season. Everyone had a wonderful Christmas thanks to you, and no pet was left behind!

We recently took in these ten friendly, domestic rabbits that were dumped on someone's property and left out in the cold. A good samaritan brought them into Kent County animal shelter, who transferred them to us so we could find them loving furever homes.

We are so grateful we're able to help with large-scale rescues like these, but we can't do it without your support! To help cover the costs of their spay and neuter surgeries, microchips, food, and daily care, please donate today through our website at www.hswestmi.org/give, with a note stating you'd like your gift to go to our rescue rabbits.

Mopsy, Hopsy, Flopsy, Nibbit, Noms, Zig Zag, Fluffer, Jumper, Blink & Dash, are now all safe and sound in our shelter and foster homes! If you'd like to adopt one or two of these buns, visit our website at www.hswestmi.org/adoptablesmallanimals.html
