Each week, WKTV features an adoptable furry friend (or few) from various shelters in the Grand Rapids area. This week, we focus on Humane Society of West Michigan, located at 3077 Wilson Dr. NW in Grand Rapids.

Humane Society of West Michigan’s mission is to rescue hurt, abused and abandoned animals and find them a new forever home. The 501(c)3 non-profit organization helps over 8,000 animals annually and is 100% donor-funded by caring individuals and businesses in the community. Additional programs help reduce pet overpopulation, provide assistance to low-income pet owners, behaviorally assess animals and reunite lost pets with their owners.

Gretchen the Gorgeous

Gretchen — Female Domestic Short Hair Mix

I’m a 10-year-old cat looking for my forever home! I have an unusual charcoal tabby coat that you must see in person. I’m a very sweet and affectionate cat, and I love to talk! I’ve been in and out of homes throughout my life, and I’m ready for my permanent forever home. My adoption fee is waived due to generous grant funding. Please come visit me at Humane Society of West Michigan!
