In honor of the opening ceremony of the 2024 summer Olympics, the litter of pups we intaked into our foster program today all are named after members of the 2024 USA Olympic Team.
This little lady, is named Katie.
Drop your recommendations in the comments of which Katie she should be named after:
Katie Ledecky
Katie Grimes
or Katie Moon
And maybe take a guess at other athlete names we decided on?
We will post photos and names of all 4 littermates later this evening!
Welcome to these 10 new additions to the CCAR family, and a huge thank you to a foster for saying YES.
We’d like to share a huge THANK YOU to Gluten-Free Sorcery who created a special pop up order for homemade gluten free baked goods prepared for pick up yesterday or today.
You all are such amazing supporters! She committed to donate 25% and received some addition donations to contribute for a total of:
$162!! 🥳🤩 This will go into vetting costs.
Not only did this baker contribute to the rescue with this pop up sale, but she, along with her family, are currently fostering a mama cat and her babies for Carlton County Animal Rescue.
Pictured is a special request from one of our team members to share this special message with you all before eating said treats!
Fostering does save lives! CCAR is very much in need of fosters, particularly those willing and able to take in adult cats and adult dogs (medium to large size). Find out more and fill out our fostering questionnaire so we can start the process with you.

These boys had a photo shoot, and we have some confused fosters wondering how these boys (or their other brothers Lewis and Clark) are not receiving any adoption applications. Available and ready now!
Welcome to the CCAR family Twister! He is our last intake of 2023, who came into a foster home today from the Barnum area. He’s been on our waiting list for awhile now and thanks to a few more adoptions going through we were able to open up a space for him and are hoping to be able to bring in more over the next couple of weeks. Twister has spent most of his life as a stray outside, looking for food and warmth and interaction. He has been getting cared for, however the home owner could not bring in another cat.
We are excited to review all our records to add up the total of animals CCAR was able to help in 2023, and even more excited to see that number grow in 2024. 🥳
We just finished unloading a trailer full of donations from our generous friends Feeding Furry Friends, Greater Good Charities, Royal Canin, Manhattan Toy, Trapper Pete's Steakhouse & Saloon, Missing Pets In The Northland, and Esko 4H Club!
Merry Christmas from all of us at Carlton County Animal Rescue. Here are a handful of our adoptable cats and kittens, with adoption prices ranging from $50 to $125, all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped and ready for their homes.
Help us find Kaija a home of her own! She’s been in the CCAR family for about 6 weeks now.
She’s a very sweet girl, 3.5 years old and in need of a new home at no fault of her own. Although she has spent much of her life outside, she LOVES to be inside and cuddle up on a bed or sofa. She’s been in a home with cats and another dog, however slow introductions are important for her when meeting a new dog for the first time.
She would be thrilled to be someone’s best friend and only dog in the home, but could do well with one other dog if they get a chance to get to know each other. She does well on a leash, AMAZING in a crate and in a car as well, she knows basic commands, and loves treats and attention.
She has been spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations and available to go to her forever home!! We are accepting applications now to coordinate a meet and greet.
If you aren’t ready to provide a forever home for a dog but would be open to meeting her and fostering, we’d love to chat more with you about this as well.

We have so many cats just patiently waiting to have their new person/family find them!
Featured here are Piper and Poppy, bonded sisters who are under a year old and have been waiting some time with no apps.
We still have 5 mature adult cats who have a reduced $50 adoption fee this week as they deserve to get in their new homes asap!
Mama Mary who was just spayed this week is still waiting for an adoption application to come in, after her 3 kittens have all found their new homes.
And Penny and Dodge are still looking their new homes, along with many more of all ages and colors and sizes. 🐈 🐈⬛
