📣 It's MNGive to the Max Day! 📣
We just got in a mama cat and two kittens and 3 cats from the Hibbing Intake.
Donations help our shelter in so many ways such as vetting, food, litter, supplies to name a few.
We are not city ran, we are professionally volunteered ran and rely on donations and fundraisers to keep our shelter open.
We thank everyone so much for the support and love of our shelter. We would not be doing what we do without YOU!

It is GiveMN month and we have a fundraiser campaign for vet bills WITH A MATCH! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!
📣The Joey Jerkovich challenge begins! He will match every dollar up to $2,000!
All funds raised with this campaign goes directly to our vet bills.
Vet bills we have and updates:
🐱Warrior- he was hit by a car and left on the road. A concerned citizen saw him, called the PD and he was brought to us on a Sunday at 9 pm. We rushed him that night to our vet. He had a broken and dislocated jaw which had to be wired, damage to his right eye that he can no longer see out of and deep lacerations behind his right ear. Vet bills include emergency visit, neuter, vaccinations, wired jaw and removal, X-rays, multiple vet visits throughout his recovery and medicine.
He is now at our shelter and we are working with him and his special needs.
🐱Cheddar- he was bright to us by the PD and could not use his back legs. He would scoot all over and not walk. We rushed him to the vet the same day. Two x-rays didn't show anything, bloodwork was fine and it he was put on Prednisone, pain meds and blood clot medicine. He started walking a little more but not like he should. A spinal X-ray was done on 10/31/25 and we are waiting for results. If that doesn't work, an MRI/CT scan would be done and that can be $1,500-$2,500. Vet bills include emergency visit, 2 X-rays, blood work, multiple vet visits, medicine and a spinal X-ray. After finding out recently that he had someone fall on him as a baby, we decided to see a neurologist anyways to see what is going on with his legs and if it is possible to cure the injuries. We have to give him that opportunity to possibly live a normal life. If not, we work on his special needs. As of 11/18- we are waiting to schedule the U of M appointment.
🐱Mama Lizzy and her babies- mama Lizzie came to us pregnant and the next day she had 4 babies! A few days later, one baby passed. Vet bills will include her spay, vaccinations, microchip, all 3 babies spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchips along with cremation of her little baby done by our vet.
🐱We also have 9 kittens and three female cats who will be getting their spay/neuters, vaccinations and microchips throughout December and January.
🐶Izzy- she came to us after her stray hold. She is a 12-year-old senior dog who is on medicine for dry eye and a foot infection. She has to have her spay and microchip yet. She had her rabies shot. Vet bills include her vet visits, medicine, vaccination, upcoming spay with a possible fix of a hernia that was not repaired, and microchip. She will need two surgeries- one for her spay and part of the hernia and a second for the other half of the hernia.
Your support allows us to continue creating a kinder, more loving world for our rescues, giving them the second chances they deserve. Our main priority is to have healthy cats and dogs for adoption and with an in-house vet tech, a close working relationship with our shelter vet, a shelter manager who makes sure all animals have everything they need, and a staff of caring and dedicated volunteers- all allows us to do this.
