It's Back to School and who couldn't use a study buddy? We've got 4 adorable adoptables who would love nothing more than to dive into math, science & english homework (well, maybe right into the textbook pages for a couple of them🀣).
Perdi - approximately 1 year old fixed female who would love to sit right by your side and give you all the encouragement you need - favorite subject: History
Sweetie - just under a year and already fixed, this beautiful girl is just like her name, a total sweetheart - favorite subject: English Lit
Nemo - a bundle of energy, this guy is 15 weeks old and is purrr-fect for study breaks - favorite subject: GYM class
Oakley - this fun little girl is 12 weeks old and full of curiosity to explore & learn new things - favorite subject: Geography
Thanks to a wonderful sponsor - the adoption fee for these 4 is only $50 each (kittens have an additional $25 refundable spay/neuter deposit). Adults are fixed, have rabies vaccination and are microchipped; kittens have age appropriate vaccinations, are litter box trained and come with a certificate for a free spay/neuter when they are old enough.
Message our page to meet your new study buddy!

⭐️Calling all introverts - we have you soul kitty! They always say time to meet the shy ones, and Sweetie is a gorgeous cat that is definitely worth meeting! She is about a year old and just as her name implies, a total sweetheart. She is just like the one friend we all have that is content to sit on the sidelines and watch all that's going on, but when you make an effort to interact with them, their personality shines through. Sweetie is already fixed, has her rabies vaccination and would do well with another kitty, or on her own.

If you would like to meet Sweetie, contact Second Chance through their page, call (989) 340-1700 or email [email protected]

Little Suzie is just one of our amazing adoptables looking for a forever home πŸ’œπŸΎ If you are interested in adding a new furry family member, please consider adopting from a shelter - give a deserving animal a new home AND help make room to take in another animal in need.

WATZ Pet of the Week with Second Chance Animal Shelter, brought to you by Alpena Buick GMC!
⭐️You never have to say "Wake up Little Suzie" to this sweetheart! Suzie is approximately 12 weeks old and although she loves the occasional nap in a sunny spot, she is full of energy and loves to play, zoom through her kitty tunnel and perch at the highest spot to watch all that's going on at the shelter. She has all her age appropriate vaccinations, is one of the tidiest litter box users we've had, and comes with a certificate for a free spay when she is old enough. She loves playing & cuddling with her kitty sister, so would do best with another feline friend in the house.

If you would like to meet Little Suzie, contact Second Chance through their FB page, email [email protected] or call (989) 340-1700.

⭐️Meet Cricket! This sweetheart is ready to find her forever family - could it be you? She has the sweetest temperament and is always ready to snuggle with her foster family. Cricket has the quietest little "meows" and her favorite toys are springs & racing in and out of her tunnel. She would do best with another young, playful feline friend in the house.

Cricket is approximately 10 weeks old, up to date on her vaccinations, litterbox trained and comes with a certificate for a free spay when she is old enough.
