Saturday, May 12th 2012 all pets 5 years & older are FREE at Kansas Humane Society! We have over 20 wonderful dogs and cats ages 5 years and older looking for new homes.

Meow! I’ll follow you around and be your best friend. Before I get too far ahead of myself, my name is Jessica and I’m a 2 year old female, domestic short hair. I really like cuddling, attention, and I purr easily. I might get a little shy around a bunch of people, but once I get used to them, I’ll be the center of attention. You should come down to KHS and visit with me today. Why you say? So you can see the cuddliest cat. Until then, you can view my adoption page

Animals form bonds not only with their owners, but with other animals. Sometimes it can be hard to fill a gap left behind from a lost companion. When Jake was adopted in July of 2011, he not only made a new friend, but he also picked up a few tricks on the way.

“We had lost two dogs the previous year to old age and our 5 year-old white German Shepherd, Sammi, needed a new pal. Jake has been the perfect addition. They get along wonderfully and she has helped teach him to swim and play frisbee. His enthusiasm and zest for life are off-the-charts, and we absolutely love having him. Thank you”

Hi, I’m Mona. Do you like video games? I love ‘em! I know, it’s strange that a girl likes to play video games, but we had someone bring in this ipad and they let me play with it. There is this totally cool fishing game on it. I was pretty good at it. I bet I could beat your high score. If you took me home, we could play all sorts of games together. I like the game where the string moves around and I almost get it. I’m going to get that string one day. You should stop by KHS and visit me in person. Tell ‘em the 9 month old, Mona sent ya.
