NO KILL RESCUE
KAR animals are kept in our care from intake until adoption. For the majority of our animals that time is spent within one home, where the animal can get accustomed to family life. HOUSING
The majority of KAR animals are placed with foster families. These families are KAR volunteers who generously open their homes to animals in need. The animals are provided with a caring, nurturing atmosphere to facilitate their well-being. While in foster care, we gain an understanding of the animal's needs and their personality traits. Foster homes work with Adoption Counselors to match the animals with suitable permanent families. WEBSITE

💔 We could really use your help. 💔

As most of you know, Jordan and I personally pay for FIP treatment for our foster cats out of our own pockets. We never hesitate because these kittens deserve every chance at life.

Unfortunately, we’ve just been hit with 7 FIP cases all at once, and the cost has become overwhelming. To treat them all, we need to raise approximately $3,000.

If you’ve ever cheered on one of our foster kittens, adopted from us, or simply believe every cat deserves a chance, please consider helping. No donation is too small, and if you’re not able to give, sharing this post would mean the world to us.

Every dollar goes directly toward lifesaving medication for these kittens. Thank you for always supporting our fosters and helping us continue to give them a fighting chance. ❤️🐾

These foster kittens are ready for Halloween 🎃 👻

Ox wants to be a werewolf, Reverse plans on being a bandit, Violet makes a perfect vampire, and Draw 4 is thinking of going as a cowboy.

All 4 kittens are up to date on vaccines, spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and are ready to find their forever homes. They will each need another young cat or kitten in the home with them. Apply on our website today so you can meet them!

Did you know every time you donate your 10-cent returnable cans and bottles, that you’re helping us fund our medical program for the adoptable cats and dogs at KAR?

A small kitchen trash bag full of cans = a vaccine for an animal

A large trash bag full of returnables = a microchip for an animal, or a flea/tick/heartworm monthly dose

A car load of cans and bottles = a spay or neuter procedure for an animal

Every donation counts, whether big or small! You can drop off your MI returnables at our shelter:

Wednesdays 10 am - 4 pm and 5-6 pm

Hi, I'm Nyla — a 7-year-old tricolor terrier mix with a heart as big as they come! 🐾 I'm a petite girl at just over 12 pounds, already spayed and housetrained, so I'm ready to settle right into your home. I'm friendly, gentle, and loyal, and I'd thrive best as your one and only pup where I can shower you with all my affection. I'm smart and cuddly, and my adoption fee is $200 — come meet me and let's start our next chapter together! 💕

Hey there — I'm Milo, a two month old grey tabby with endless energy and a heart full of love! 🐱 I'm already neutered and litter box trained, so I'm ready to jump right into your home. I get along wonderfully with cats, dogs, and kids — in fact, the family dog is my best friend, and I love making new friends with anyone I meet. I purr all the time as I feel happy and excited about everything that happens around me. I do love being wherever my people are, and sometimes I find it fun to chase their feet and attack their legs as they walk. When I get tired, a lap to lay and snuggle on is my preference. I would do best with another young kitten or cat as a companion, so I'm looking for a home where I'll have a buddy to play and snuggle with. My adoption fee is $155 — come meet me and let's start our adventure together! 🐾
