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

P.S. and weird fact - a hard cider 6-pack is shown in the picture but it’s not returnable in Michigan because it’s fermented, not carbonated.

KITTEN APOCALYPSE 🐱☁️! (Pics for your viewing pleasure. This is only a fraction of the kittens we have)

Our fur babies are eating us out of house and home (literally, we're talking bare cupboards and empty shelves 😂) and we're on a mission to restock the kitten wet food supply ASAP!

Specifically, we're on the hunt for those magical Weruva pink cans - the ones that make our little picky eaters do the happy dance.

Why Weruva, you ask? Well, it's like they say: 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'... and Weruva just gets it. The consistency is purr-fectly on point, and our kittens can't get enough of that good stuff! So, if you could pretty please with a kitten on top grab some of those pink cans off our wishlist or donate to our kitten food fund, we (and our hangry kittens) will be eternally grateful 🙏!

***NONE OF THESE KITTENS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION YET***

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Tarra and Great Lakes Wine & Spirits for putting together such an incredible event in support of our organization.

The evening was truly wonderful from start to finish. Between the amazing food, fun and creative drinks, and the opportunity to connect with so many great people, it was a night we will not forget. Events like this not only bring our community together, but also help create meaningful relationships and support for the animals in our care.

We are beyond thankful for the generosity, hard work, and thoughtfulness that went into making everything such a success. It means so much to have people and businesses in our corner who believe in what we do.

And of course, a huge congratulations to Hilary, the lucky winner of the grand prize raffle! We hope you enjoy your new bike!

Thank you again to everyone who attended, supported, donated, and helped make the evening so special.
