Miss Maven is still looking for a home. She has had a few meetings, but she does not show well. She has been around people and other cats her whole life, but she chooses to hide and spend her time alone. We think she may not like other cats. She was moved away from the other cats for a week and she was friendly and loving towards our volunteers. We are now looking for a home without other cats or a barn cat home. If she is adopted as a barn cat, she must has access to an indoor heated area.

If you're interested in Maven, please visit our website to apply.

This pretty boy is still waiting for his forever home. He is the sweetest, friendliest cat ever! We have to assume it's because he has Tabby markings that there hasn't been any interest in him. He has all the personality you could hope for. He's about 7 months old now. If you'd like to adopt Munch, please visit our website to apply.

Rocky is a German Shepherd/Husky, (Shepsky). He will turn 3 on June 13th. He is a wonderful boy. He absolutely loves other dogs and people. He is high energy and enjoys playing in the snow. He has been neutered, UTD on vaccinations and microchipped. He has been well taken care of and is an all around loving boy. 🖤

Note: If you're thinking about starting the argument against ear tipping, just don't. For months I've been out of patience defending the best way those of us doing TNR have of knowing a cat has been previously S/N. Please keep scrolling, thank you.

"Someone cared enough…
That’s what the corner of that cat’s ear being tipped (cut off) means. Someone cared enough. Enough to take time out of their day for that wild cat. To load up trapping supplies, go to the trapping location, set traps, monitor traps, and wait hours in most cases to fill traps. Then to bring them home in the traps and get them set up somewhere overnight and care for them. To drive them to the vet the next day, wait in line, and check them in for surgery. To pay (or get vouchers) for them to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. If they are extra nice, they pay extra for flea meds and dewormer, knowing it will only last a month, but knowing that might be the only month of reprieve they have in their whole life from being eating alive. They care enough to drive back the next day and pick them up from the vet and in most cases house them for a day or two for recovery. In that time they care for them and make sure they are healing from surgery well. Then they drive them back to the trapping location and release them back to their outdoor home. From there, back home to clean and wash the traps and supplies to be ready for next time. This takes HOURS. Hours for a feral street cat that so many people hate.
So that feral cat you see out there with an ear tip, someone cared enough to take the time to give them a better life. To stop the cycle. To try to tackle the overpopulation and suffering. To help curb the testosterone driven territorial fights and spraying. To help that female not get pyometria from having litter after litter until she dies. To try to keep the numbers down so less people threaten their lives.
That indoor cat with the ear tip…someone cared a little extra. They saw that cat had potential to thrive in a life off the streets and they gave them that chance. They worked with them to overcome their fears so they wouldn’t live that harsh street life with a much shorter life expectancy than indoor cats.
That ear tip is how us trappers identify a cat that has already been spayed/neutered. It is a quick way to look at a feral cat and know if they have been fixed or not. This helps us not trap the same cats and send them through the stress of transport to the vet repeatedly, because we can see they have already been fixed. If a cat with an ear tip ends up in the trap, we can just release them immediately and keep trying until we get a cat that is not ear tipped.
Some people don’t like how the ear tip looks, or how painful it might be (it’s done under anesthesia during their spay/neuter surgery)… But that ear tip is a badge of honor. Someone cared enough."

Hello Friends! We have been waiting, (and still are), on the DNA results for our adorable polar puppies. Since it is taking much longer than usual, we want to share that we are really waiting on confirmation of the breeds. If you scroll to the end of the pictures, you can see their gorgeous momma, Elsa. On her photo, it tells her breed! She has been shaved because she came to us badly matted. The other part of their breed should be Great Pyrenees as most of you guessed! Elsa is very sweet and healthy. The puppies are available for adoption. There are 4 males and 1 female. 💘

If you are interested, please visit our website to apply.
