Turkey (m) and Gravy (f) are the last two of their litter of 6 adorable tabby kittens, with the first two already in their new home and the second two expected to be in their new home tomorrow!

They’re only about 10-weeks old and already ready to steal your heart! They’re playful and sweet kittens who have mastered the art of napping. Whether they’re batting at toys, pouncing on imaginary prey, or curling up for a cozy snooze, Turkey and Gravy brings joy and energy to every room they enter.

They are doing great with using a litter box, provide entertainment with their antics, and they’re well on their way to being the perfect companion. Turn in an application to meet them soon!

12/13/2024

Nacho (tabby) and Steve (black) are both male domestic short hair kittens, that are about 5 months old. They came to hang out at Petsmart in their handsome bowties. They are the last of their litter waiting and are SO ready for their forever homes. They would love to go to a forever home together, or a home that has at least one other cat as a playmate to help for their ongoing socialization. We know the right home for these guys is out there. Turn in your application today if you’re interested in meeting these cuties, or share this post to help us spread their sweet faces.

CCAR 12/12 adoption event at PetSmart in Duluth live check in. It was a COLD and quiet evening without as many visitors as we usually see, but we don’t blame you!

Fiona, Ham, and Biscuit all went home today.
Tomorrow Strawberry, Pumpkin Pie, and Green Bean Casserole will be headed to their new homes. ❤️

12/12/2024

UPDATE: we past the $40k mark! 💵 Thank you to our wonderful supporters, we’re inching our way closer to our year end goal!

It is COLD out there, and I know there are more animals that need our help. We have $161 in donations to go, with our 2 to 1 match to bring our fundraising total for this stage to 40,000! Can you pitch in $5, $10, $20, or $50 to help us get there before the day is over?

Our community has shown us that together we can make so much happen. https://www.givemn.org/organization/Carlton-County-Animal-Rescue

We have 3 new members of the CCAR family to introduce to you:

These pups came from a larger litter in the metro area reportedly dumped and in need of a rescue with capacity to help. So many rescues currently have intake closed as the need is so huge. We had a foster who was willing to say YES and a volunteer who offered to drive to Pine City to pick them up. They were 10 weeks when we first heard about them and it was hard to tell their size, by the time they arrived at 11 weeks old they were already BIG puppies, weighing in between 18-24lbs each. It’s our understanding that mom was a pure breed black lab and dad was a pure breed German shepherd.

Although these three CUTIES will be ready for their forever homes between 12/23-12/27, we ask you to fully consider the responsibility and commitment of adding a large breed puppy to your family as they will need training and exercise and routine. Their foster family is starting them off with crate training, house training, leash training, and lots of great socialization with other dogs, cats, and kids.

We can’t guarantee their breeds, but we can guarantee they are 100% adorable puppy.

They will be making their debut at CCAR 12/12 adoption event at PetSmart in Duluth tomorrow evening and would love some extra pets and cuddles if you’re in the area! Unless you’re Kevin McCallister, then steer clear of this trio!

Brothers: Marv and Harry, aka the wet bandits.
Sister: Linnie (McCallister)

Last Saturday we were in need of a group of volunteers for our booth at Churchill Holiday Expo- Cloquet, MN, where we planned to offer gift wrapping for a donation. Finding enough volunteers on weekends in December can be challenging.

Jennifer, who adopted a kitten from CCAR earlier this summer reached out. She shared that her employer had an opportunity for employees to volunteer and in turn the company would donate to the non profit organization and she would like to find a way to help CCAR and give back.

She did the steps to submit a team volunteer opportunity and recruited coworkers to join her.
We are so appreciative of the Superior Refining Company, owned by Cenovus, who will be contributing $2000 to CCAR, via Benevity.

Thanks to this simple ask and the generousity of Superior Refinery and the Cenovus Cares Season of Giving campaign, last Saturday these volunteers are bringing in $6,168.00 for CCAR’s building a foundation campaign with our 2 to 1 match going on now through the end of the year.

Does your employer have programs to match donations or volunteer to give back? Check it out and let us know if you’d like to find a way to get involved and make a difference!

How cute are these boys?! Gingerbread, Santa Claus, and Douglas Fir (or is it.. Fur?) all had their neuter appointments today. Buddy the elf was a wee smaller than we would like him to be before surgery so he stayed behind and will wait for the next opportunity for an appointment, but he has already found his forever home. YAY Buddy!

🌲 Douglas came in as a solo kitten who was a bit older and more skiddish, so he joined this bunch for socialization. He is very sweet and his foster is in no rush to see him run out the door, but he will be looking for a patient adopter who will give him the time he needs to build trust and get comfortable in a new home.

‼️ Warning ‼️ Orange male kittens often come with quite the sense of humor and endless energy, so we hear. 🧡 😜

This crew is getting socialization around other animals and kids of all ages. Remember that every cute little kitten will grow up to an adult cat before you know it… and cats can be a 12-20+ year commitment.

One last thing, are these not the cutest little set up for photos? We have some amazing fosters that not only provide a home and care for animals in need, but they provide some great photos and bios and help them get to events to find their forever homes.

We’ve had about a dozen kittens who appear to be Siamese or ragdoll come into rescue this year but these may be the first with longer fur. They always get a ton of applications, so we waited to share these two until they’re about ready to go to their forever homes. Nepal and Bhutan are both males who look quite similar who are now available for adoption through Carlton County Animal Rescue. Today is their neuter date. They are approximately 3.5 months old. They have great purrrr volume and are as sweet as can be.

If they arent in their new homes before Saturday, then they plan to make an appearance at the Moose Lake Winter Market! These are only 2 of 133 animals in our care today. The first step is to fill out an adoption application on our website and our team of volunteers will review and reach out to potential adopters.

Happy Wednesday! Our volunteers were on the road at 5am for another Purple Cat Mobile Veterinary Clinic spay/neuter day for our crew! Also this morning we have 3 appointments with Dr Mary at Northern Woods Animal Hospital These appointments are critical to get more animals ready for their forever homes and make space for more, as we continue to work on building a foundation to expand our capacity.

11 female cat spays
21 male cat neuters
9 rabies/wellness appointments
2 eye pre-surgical eye consult appointments
3 new cat intakes

1 more day until CCAR 12/12 adoption event at PetSmart in Duluth.

20 more days of the year to raise funds for local animal rescue.

With a shelter building, we would have greater capacity to intake and assess surrendered and stray animals. Every donation (up to 50k by year end) is matched 2 to 1 by an anonymous donor, helping us triple your donation towards our Building a Foundation campaign. https://www.givemn.org/organization/Carlton-County-Animal-Rescue

Introducing another litter of kittens ready to get altered and find their new homes. 5 more kittens that will not be multiplying and contributing to the cat overpopulation.

They’re going to be POPULAR. 💗 💚 🪄

2 girls + 3 boys all scheduled to be ready for their new homes as soon as Friday!

The beautiful Ms Essie is back in her foster home after 4+ weeks of basic obedience and learning routine. She has been enjoying sitting on the porch watching ice fishermen set up while enjoying some hard chew treats. She went for a walk, the coonhound in her was very apparent. Her fosters are waiting for her to settle in before they really test her but you can tell she benefitted from her training experience.

For a young dog she’s learning quickly how to be mellow and calm and is just a lover.

She plans to make an appearance at her first adoption event this Thursday if she doesn’t get an application and a meet and greet before then!

12/10/2024

Let’s introduce some of our cats becoming available this week:

Yuki is an independent thinker who is very smart and filled with curiosity. She likes to take her time watching the world around her, and then exploring every new thing she can find. She is tolerant of children and happy to just hang out or play with puzzle toys. When she has time to settle in and relax in your arms, she may also reward you with a happy purr and a beautiful smile.

Yuki came to us with her babies when they were pretty tiny. It was her first and only litter, as she is now scheduled to be spayed this week. She is about 11 months old and prefers to be the queen of her domain. Other cats may not be her favorite to hang out with, but she really loves human attention! Friendly, independent, curious, playful. Good with children and dogs and would be best in a home without birds as she is quite curious about them.

Marshmallow is a beautiful little girl with an adventurous spirit. She is curious and playful, happily exploring the world around her. She’s also very sweet and happy to cuddle, tolerant of children, and is great with other cats and dogs.

Graham is a sturdy and chatty boy who is almost always up for a good cuddle that could melt anyone’s heart. He’s happy to play with his litter mates, toys, and people, and is good with dogs after he gets time to warm up to them.

And last, but certainly not least: S’more is a male kitten who is a happy mix of playful and mellow. He loves to play with toys or others, and is always watching how the world around him works. He’s great with his litter mates and dogs, and is very tolerant of children.

Yuki and all 3 of her kittens will be ready to go
to their new homes as soon as this weekend! Get your application in today!

Maybe you aren’t looking to add a new family member at this time but you can still share to help spread the word!

We have had many adoptions go through in the last week which is exciting! There’s always those few special cats that we are surprised when they get overlooked. Miss Freya has been to several events and spending the last 2 weeks at the Petsmart Adoption Center as other cats and kittens have come and gone. The staff all say she is the sweetest and her foster family would agree. Do you have room in your home and heart for this girl?
