Meet our Pet of the Week, Oreo!

Oreo is a 3-year-old sweetheart with a bit of an oddball personality and a love for the cozy life. Her favorite hobbies include lounging in a soft bed, curling up in a comfy cat tree, and quietly observing the world from her favorite perch. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but with a little patience and a calm environment, she starts to feel safe.

Once you’re in her inner circle, Oreo is all about the affection. Head scratchies and belly rubs quickly become her favorite thing, and she won’t be shy about asking for more with gentle head bumps once she knows she can trust you. Her gentle, laid-back nature makes her a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a calm and cuddly friend.

Oreo is calicivirus positive, so she’ll do best as the only cat in the home or with other calici-positive feline friends.

Humane Education Day @ Michigan Maritime Museum

Join Al-Van Humane Society and the Michigan Maritime Museum for a fun, hands-on afternoon all about animals and community.

Humane Education Day is a drop-in program designed for kids and families to learn what a humane society does, how to safely and respectfully interact with animals, and why enrichment plays such an important role in animal welfare. Throughout the event, guests will also have the opportunity to meet adoptable pets from Al-Van Humane Society. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about adoption, fostering, and animal care, and on-site adoptions will be available for those who find their perfect match.

This free, drop-in event runs from 12:00–3:00 PM, so families are welcome to stop by anytime during the program. Whether you’re curious about what a humane society does, want to teach kids how to be safe and kind around animals, or are hoping to meet your next furry family member, Humane Education Day offers something for everyone.

Wishlist

This week’s Wishlist Wednesday includes a few everyday essentials that help us keep our animals comfortable and cared for: wet dog food, poop bags, and toilet paper.

Wet dog food is especially helpful for picky eaters, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra support staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy appetite. And while they may not be glamorous, supplies like poop bags and toilet paper play a big role in keeping our shelter clean, sanitary, and running smoothly for both the animals and the people caring for them.

Donations can be dropped off at our Adoption Center during open hours or shipped directly from our Amazon or Chewy wishlists found at al-van.org/wishlist. Every bag makes an immediate difference and keeps our dogs happy, healthy, and ready for adoption.
