Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Lansing, Michigan

Meet Paws! He is a 6-year-old handsome shorthaired grey cat who's ready to find a loving home to call his own. He came to us when his previous owners were moving and were unable to take him along, and he's been patiently waiting since May 5th, 2026 for his second chance.


Paws is a sweet boy we are still getting to know, but we're excited to learn more about his personality as he settles in. He is adjusting to the shelter environment and will appreciate a calm and patient adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and comfortable in a new home.


Paws would likely do best in a home with older children, and he may prefer a slow, gradual introduction to any other dogs or cats in the home. With understanding and consistency, he has the potential to become a wonderful and devoted companion.


Paws is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. If you're interested in meeting Paws or learning more, please reach out to an adoption counselor by phone at (517) 626-6060 or email at adoptions@adoptlansing.org.
