They are busy and understaffed. I needed help with a stray cat wondering around probably abandoned here at this apt complex. It's very pitiful and I can't get help here.. and this heat will kill these strays. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to feed them nomore I was violated they said. The office left me a message accusing the cat of being mine and I told her my cat wouldn't be outside. Why they thought it was mine I have no idea. But no help here . HS said call animal control who doesn't answer and no matter what number you press the recording keeps going and you don't get anyone so this cat is out here meowing and hungry. Still no help. Hoping animal control calls me tomorrow. My heart is breaking for this poor little cat.

I took a male and female kitty in for the free vaccine day, and filled out information on them to start health records. A few days later, I got a txt offering me spay and neuter appts (a few months out) for $10 each. We arrived half and hour early before they opened and were given the shots almost 3 hours later, so 45 minutes early would have been about purrfect. They had boxes of toys, harnesses, even costumes, that were donated and told us to help ourselves. They also gave me information on getting free dry cat food three times a year.

It looks like they do a really good job taking care of the pets here, but of course it's so sad to see all the animals locked up. I encourage everyone with a compassionate heart to visit their local shelter to adopt a pet as there are many wonderful cats dogs and other animals available that need a loving home. This shelter has friendly and beautiful dogs and gorgeous cats and the only thing that they were missing is a loving home. I personally am going back on tomorrow to adopt my new rottweiler, he is a senior dog, has lots of health issues that they were up front and honest about, and his old age will be spent being spoiled rotten. He will receive the best vet care, and his final days will be filled with love and happiness.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What kind of items can I donate here?

Sherry Graham | Mar 12, 2019
Natalie VandePol | Mar 13, 2019

https://cahs-lansing.org/support/donate-items/ This is a list of their most needed items. If what you want to donate isn't on the list, it is likely that they will still accept it a d they'll pass it on to foster homes and other shelters. They've accepted used cat toys and off brand food from me. I think the food should be unopened if possible, but you can call during operating hours to ask about something specific.

Do you euthanize pets that are surrendered to you?

Billy Griffin | Mar 12, 2018
Capital Area Humane Society (Owner) | Mar 13, 2018

Hi Billy. CAHS averages a live-release rate of 96.5%. We do not euthanize healthy, treatable pets, or place time limits on our pets. The only reason a pet may be euthanized is if the pet was extremely aggressive or had an untreatable illness, such as cancer or leukemia.

krystin bingham | Nov 11, 2021
Robert Jarrell | Nov 12, 2021
