Angie

It’s the end of May already, when did that happen? It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re having as much fun at the shelter as I am!

But enough about me, let’s talk about my friend Angie. When Angie entered our care, this poor kitty was scared. She had lost the only owner she had ever known and had nowhere to go. When her owner passed away,  unfortunately, no family member was able to take her in, but we at Humane Society of West Michigan welcomed her with open paws!


At just three and a half years old, Angie was a sweet cat, but was confused and closed off when she first arrived. She had been with the same owner her whole life and she told me she felt like the  rug had been pulled out from underneath her. She shied away from attention, hid in her kennel, and was nervous around people.  


It didn’t take long for the paw-some staff here to realize she needed some quiet attention to help her adjust and feel more comfortable. Often HSWM staff would be found giving her extra gentle pets, chin scratches, and tasty treats, and within days,  she realized this place wasn’t so bad! She warmed up quickly and began rubbing against her kennel door,  seeking out the love that she had previously rejected.


Once Angie was feeling more herself, it wasn’t long before she found her fur-ever home! Her family now spoils her rotten, and she’s getting all the love and attention she deserves! Pets like Angie, (and even me!) are so lucky to have Humane Society of West Michigan to go to when we had nowhere else to turn.  Thank you to everyone who helps support the pets at HSWM, like Angie and me, so we have a chance at long, happy, healthy lives!
