Smokey and Dart’s foster mom is doing a terrific job with socializing them, and they are now ready to find their new homes! These sweet girls are not currently at the shelter, so please send us a message to set up a time to meet them! ❤️

Meet Stovetop and Cosmos! Kittens do better when adopted in pairs, so to make it easier for these bonded kittens to stay together we are sponsoring one kitten’s adoption fees if both are adopted together. That means you get two adorable kittens for $40 instead of $80! Both are up to date on vaccinations and come with a free neuter voucher. Their former foster mom shared what she has learned about these sweet boys:

STOVETOP
Stovetop came to the shelter not quite sure that people could be trusted. He needed some time with a foster experienced in working with fearful kittens and another people-friendly kitten to show him humans are okay. After a couple weeks in his foster home & hanging out with his buddy Cosmos, Stovetop has become the sweet boy we knew he was. He is still a little hesitant about lap-sitting, but when he wants snuggles he will lay next to you & put his head or paw on you. And every now & then he will slowly creep up in your lap with his purr motor going non-stop. Last but not least his fur is incredibly soft & silky! Stovetop will continue to blossom in a home of his own with a family who is patient & gives him the time he needs to feel safe & comfortable. Being adopted with Cosmos would also be beneficial for him.

COSMOS
Cosmos is quite an interesting little fella. To begin with, his coat is a very unique color which is known as a “phantom” or “ghost” tabby. He has a beautiful light grey undercoat that shows beneath the black overcoat. But what really sets him apart is his personality. He loves any and all toys, and will gladly play with them non-stop. If he’s awake he’s running, jumping & wrestling with his foster buddy, Stovetop (who is also ready for adoption). Cosmos will definitely keep you entertained! But when playtime is over he climbs up in your lap for snuggles and will fall asleep purring away. Cosmos hasn’t been around dogs or young children, but I think he would be fine with a cat-friendly dog, a buddy cat (like his friend Stovetop), or children who can keep him busy.

If you’d like to meet Cosmos and Stovetop, please stop by the shelter anytime between 10am and 2pm. We are located at 980 Cheeseman Rd, and are open 7 days a week. 🐾

Meet Mayhem!
She's affectionate, playful, and is estimated to be around 2 years old. She has lived with children, and would prefer a dog-free home. Mayhem is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and her adoption fee is $40. To meet this sweet girl, please stop by the shelter between 10am and 2pm. We are open 7 days a week!

We’ve updated our wish list and wanted to share. Although many things are still on there, we still have a need for them!! I will update the pin at the top of our FB page!

✨ ISO: Foster-to-Adopt Home

Drumstick is a sweet young cat who is due to have kittens within the next couple weeks! We are hoping to find her a foster-to-adopt home where she can still have time to adjust and feel secure before her kittens arrive. If you would like to foster Drumstick and her kittens, please call the shelter at 906-643-7646 and ask to speak to Shannon.

Meet Jar Jar!

This guy just might be the happiest dog you’ve ever met! He came in as a stray so we don’t know a lot about him yet, but he loves people and seems like he would be great with older kids. He gets pretty excitable so he might be a bit much for younger children.

He doesn’t seem to mind other dogs and hasn’t yet been tested with cats. He’s estimated to be around 2 years old, is up to date on vaccinations, and has been neutered. His adoption fee is $80, and he’s eligible to go on Doggy Day-Outs!

To meet Jar Jar, please stop by the shelter any day of the week between 10am and 2pm. We are located at 980 Cheeseman Rd in St. Ignace.

If you're looking for a super friendly cat, then look no further! Oscar is just an overall swell guy who loves attention and wants to be wherever his people are. When he's in the cat room, he's usually hanging out at the door waiting to greet whomever walks in, or he's in the office sitting in Shannon's lap as she's working at the computer. Did we mention he's a great lap warmer? He'd be the perfect companion for those chilly days ahead! Oscar is 5 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and his adoption fee has already been paid via donation. He doesn’t care for dogs and may be happiest as your only pet.

Sometimes it just takes a different environment for a dog to succeed and find their forever home!! We couldn’t be more happy for Millie!!! Thank you to the crew at the Eva Burrell Animal Shelter for working with her and helping her to succeed!!! You guys do awesome things over there!!

Ta da....Millie was adopted today. Our thanks to Mackinac County Animal Shelter for letting us work with this amazing girl. First she was fostered and there was no chance they were bringing her back. It was love at first glance. Happy life Millie.
