K-SNAG is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization that mainly relies on donations and summer garage sales to raise money for vet bills.

Spay/Neuter Assistance, Animal Welfare/Rescue
Please Contact: Dawn VerBerkmoes (co-founder) 906-296-9144
Please check out our Photos Section to see all of our adoptable Fur Babies! We have helped to spay or neuter more than 3,000 animals since our founding in 2006 and have rescued over 1,000. The original purpose of K-SNAG was to assist area residents with the cost of spaying/neutering their pets

in an effort to reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats in our area. As an animal welfare organization, we began to get calls from people needing help with stray animals, and that is how we began our rescue program. Cats are always waiting for forever homes at the "Cat's Meow" shelter in Laurium or in foster homes with volunteers.

Farran is such a gorgeous cat! He has been neutered, combo tested, vaccinated and received worm medication. He loves Slurpy treats, so that is the way to win his heart! Farran is a soft gray, lighter than this pictures shows, with a fat face and sturdy body. (One meaning of Farran is "iron grey.") When he came to us, he was TERRIFIED! The poor boy didn't know what was happening when he found himself in a cage, in a strange place. But he has come a long way, accepting pets and treats from the volunteers, purring and kneading. If you would like to help Farran on his path to normalcy as far as cat behavior is concerned, call Dawn at 906-296-9144. We need cat lovers to help with these cats that were living in squalor, with no socialization.

Shilo is another of our kittens that has made a lot of progress but still needs more time with people than we are able to provide. She is a young (5-7 months) female cat that is beginning to enjoy pets and attention. She is waiting for her vet appointment but in the meantime needs a lot of help to overcome her shyness. Call Dawn at 9906-296-9144 to learn more about Shilo.

Dante and quite a few other cats from the hoarding situation are still waiting for someone to help them begin to trust humans. The cats have varying degrees of need, with Dante being quite gentle and just timid. He enjoys having his ears rubbed and his chin scratched though, so that is a great indicator that he will soon be much more relaxed and ready to accept various kinds of attention. If you think that you have what it takes to work with a shy cat, (mostly patience) Call Dawn at 906-296-9144. Dante is ready to spend time with someone!

Haven is an adorable, energetic kitten who has still not found a family. She and her sister Hematite came to us when they were about three weeks old. Their mother could not be found, but they were bottle fed and have been growing and learning ever since. They were so hungry when they came that they still get a little crazy over soft food, gobbling it up like it was their last meal. The sisters love to play together and when they are tired, cuddle together. It would be wonderful if they could be placed together. Adopting two kittens at the same time, if they are well socialized, works out well because they keep each other entertained! If kittens are very timid or shy, it usually works best to take one at a time so that they can be socialized and learn to trust people, rather than just hanging out with their buddies! These two have no fear! They are social and purry and fun to have around. Call Dawn if you would like to know more about Haven and Hematite. (906-296-9144)

Adopt A Pet November 2nd from Noon to 4 P.M. Come and meet Lovey. She is such a good looking cat but she has gotten rather plump lately. She has no one to play with her and monitor her eating habits. Lovely gets along well with the other cats and is shy when strangers come in, but in a home of her own we believe she would flourish!

SALEM WAS ADOPTED TODAY! Meet Salem, a big, handsome boy who calls out for attention--and he's getting a lot of it now that he's at Copper Country Veterinary Clinic on display! He's been vetted and is so ready for a person or family of his own.

10/31/2024

This good looking fellow is Dante, a young neutered male who was living in bad conditions and now is all cleaned up, vetted and ready to go to a home! He is handling the transition to new circumstances very well and is getting friendlier every day. He is gentle and enjoys attention. He has been around other cats so most likely would be fine with another cat in the household. We are also looking for people to foster some of our more frightened cats and help them to gain trust and confidence. Call Dawn at 906-296-9144 for more about Dante!

10/30/2024

Jubileigh has been waiting a long time for a home. She is a quiet spayed female cat UNTIL you bring out the slurpy treats and then she gets a bit pushy with the other cats, pushing other cats out of the way to get more than her share! But that is okay because once the treats are put away she goes back to her sweet self. Call Dwwn for more info! 906-296-9144

10/30/2024

Georgie Girl needs a family! She started out VERY shy! But now she is good with all the people that she knows and she is fine with other cats once she gets to know them. She would be fine with you too if you just give her a chance! Usually all it takes for these cats that have been living in harsh situations, is time and patience. Once they begin to trust you and gain confidence, you will have a friend for life! She is a very pretty tabby with orange splashes. Call Dawn for more information about Georgie and when you can meet her! 906-296-9144

Wouldn't' anyone like to give this girl a try? She really needs to get our of a cage and into a home of her own. Her name is Mosaic and she starts off trying to fool you with her growls and hisses, but pay no attention, as it is most likely just her expressing her disgust at the other cats that are around. When you pet her she enjoys it and as you can see she is fine with being held. Due to a very bad hoarding situation we have a lot of cats to place, so if you were thinking of adopting a cat, now is the time! Call Dawn at 905-296-9144

Aura--This young, spayed female DSH Torti is ready for a home of her own. She is a quiet girl, very gentle and amiable. She enjoys attention and pets; she doesn't like to be picked up though. For more information about Aura call Dawn at 906-296-9144

K-SNAG has been working on a hoarding situation involving at least 36 cats. Several have already been killed on the road. Some have died of what appears to be malnutrition. The ones that we have so far need more attention than we can give them at this point. They seem to be gentle cats, just fearful. We are waiting for appointments for them to get their wellness exams, combo tests, vaccinations etc. If they are old enough we get them spayed or neutered before adoption, otherwise we take a deposit on the spay or neuter to ensure that it will be done as soon as they are old enough. We have about five that have already been vetted and the rest are still waiting. We need foster homes to work with these cats, to socialize them and prepare them for adoption. One on one attention, handling and play time make a world of difference for this type of cat. If you would like to learn more about our foster home program call Dawn at 906-296-9144.

Mosaic: This beautiful Calico has been with us for quite awhile. She does not seem happy. We would love to see her in a home. We believe she would be much more outgoing and less "crabby" if she did not have to deal with other cats or dogs. A quiet home with one or two adults would be perfect for Mosaic. She seems to enjoy attention when she isn't nervous! She is a very clean cat too! Call Dawn if you would like to meet Mosaic. (906-296-9144)

Have you been waiting for the Christmas excitement and activities to be over before bringing a kitten into the family? Well, you are in luck! We have little black Olive! She is in foster care and doing great! She came to us after being found in a box on the highway with her two littermates. She must have been without food for awhile because in the beginning she was just food crazy! She couldn't contain herself when food was being put out for her! Thankfully, she now seems to realize that food with continue to be forthcoming and she doesn't have to get all worked up! She is okay with other cats, loves to play and wants to play with them! She is fine with dogs as well, wants to play with them also! Call Dawn if you are looking for a darling little kitten to brighten up the New Year! (906-296-9144)
