Orchard is one of many adult cats ready to be adopted right now at HSHV.

We reported in July that Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) is offering an Adopt One, Get One Free special on kittens for a limited time. With over 380 cats currently in their care, HSHV have extended that offer and have also made adult cats and working barn cats are available for no adoption fee.

Every HSHV cat is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before going home. HSHV staff work closely with every adopter to help find the right match based on lifestyle, personality, and expectations.

HSHV reports that it is experiencing one of its busiest kitten seasons ever. In June alone, over 530 cats came into the shelter—an increase of 256 felines since the same time last year, and the most in any month since at least 2010.  

For those who wonder whether waiving adoption fees means pets are placed less carefully, HSHV states that animal welfare research says otherwise.

Visitors can meet adoptable cats and kittens starting 11am daily at the Humane Society of Huron Valley, 3100 Cherry Hill Road in Ann Arbor. Available animals can also be viewed online at hshv.org/adopt.
