Here is a better picture of Jack! A lovely, neutered male older kitten! Stop by and meet Jack Saturday from Noon to 4 P.M.

OOPS! A little blurry, but this is Jack! He is an older kitten, neutered, combo tested, and has his vaccinations. Jack came from the same place as Benson. He was also scared at first and still takes a little bit of time to warm up, but with a little time and a lot of treats, he will be your best friend! Stop by from Noon to 4 P.M. You can meet Jack & his friend Benson.

Hey folks! Jeepers here- this handsome fellow is Benson. He came from a place with a bunch of other cats. They were all living outside with very little food, no water, and no human contact. He was a 'SCAREDY CAT!" But he has learned a lot now! He likes to play with his friend Jack. I will try to post a picture of Jack. The volunteers are going to have an Adopt A Pet Saturday, April 6th from Noon to 4 P.M.

"Outdoor cats, in particular, could serve as a transmission 'bridge' between wild animals and domestic pets or humans"

Three pet owners whose cats got bird flu describe their symptoms and quick declines. As such cases mount, public health experts are warning about raw meat and raw milk.

Ahhhh, Jeepers here, reporting for K-SNAG. It seems our people think it best not to have an Adopt A Pet tomorrow, March 29th. The weather is bad right now. It could very well clear up by tomorrow, but the roads may still be icy, and we don't want anyone to get into an accident just by coming to visit us! We will still be here next week-waiting to meet you! No worries! Just keep checking for my posts! I will keep you updated on how we are all doing. Right now, I am getting ready for a nice little snooze! Why do I have to have a pink blanket?

Okay, Turbo will be my last featured cat for today! Now this is one handsome dude! If you like ginger cats- right here, we have got a doozy! Turbo needs a quiet home that will give him a little time to adjust to people. He came in with Duke and Duchess, so his early months were not "bond with people" months. They were "living outside, trying to find food and a warm place to sleep" kind of months. But he enjoys attention now. He purrs and even rolls on his back to receive tummy rubs! That is progress! Come and meet Turbo, Saturday March 29th from Noon to 4 P.M.

Boy, this cat was a mess when she came here! Her fur was all dry and unkempt looking and she was skinny in places and lumpy in places! Yikes! You can see that in this picture! Her name is Goblin, and I think that might be why she is still here! Maybe no one wants to adopt a cat named Goblin! Don't let that stop you, her name can be changed. Maybe she would like a different name anyway. Goblin is a smallish cat and boy, is she shaping up! She went to the vet, of course, and they took good care of her! Her coat is getting shiny and smooth, and her figure has definitely improved. She is unusual because she is an all black cat, but her whiskers are white. I have black whiskers like any self-respecting black cat should have! Remember, Saturday, Noon to 4 P.M.

Here is Duchess. She is a Calico cat, very nice looking, I must say. Her personality is beginning to come out now, and she is playing with toys and accepting pets and attention. The talk around here is that she, Duke, and a bunch of other cats were living outside and were not house pets at all. I, Jeepers, had a life like that too, and I am glad that I am in a nice warm place now and I don't have to hunt for my food or sleep out in the cold, rain and snow! I think Duchess feels that way, too. All she needs now is a family to love her! Come on by Saturday, 3/29/25, from Noon to 4 P.M. and meet Duchess!

03/28/2025

Okay, I will begin with Duke. He is a fluffy, dark tabby cat that I hear was "fixed." I don't know what was broken, but it is now fixed, so no worries! I must say he looks a little grumpy in the photo, but he is not a grumpy cat. He loves to be petted and get brushed. He hangs out in the back room with Duchess (I will post her next), but I guess it isn't a MUST that they go together. It would be nice, though. Stop by Saturday 3/29/25 from Noon to 4 P.M. and meet Duke.

Alright people, what is going on out there? I took a break from posting about our K-SNAG cats and let someone else do it, but I am back, and I want to know where all the people are! It has been so quiet on adoption days. You folks aren't letting a little snow keep you inside, are you? I don't expect to be adopted as I am an all- black, short hair, 8-year-old cat with a heart murmur and, I am told, a bit of an attitude. But that is alright because if some of the other cats here would leave I would like it a lot better at this place. So I will be putting up a couple of photos and you just take your pick!

Adopt A Pet Saturday, March 29th, from Noon to 4 P.M. Puff is a spayed female DMH, about 2 1/2 years old. She is not shy. She loves to play. She gets along with other animals and enjoys being near people. If you would like to meet Puff, call Dawn at 906-296-9144.

Turbo says don't forget about Adopt A Pet today from Noon to 4 P.M. Turbo is in the "not quite ready" category ---BUT for someone who has experience working with shy cats he would be awesome because he loves pets and rolls over for belly rubs! So it wouldn't take long.

We thought Renegade was ready quite a while ago, but because of the aversion to adopting all-black cats that many people have, he was not chosen. Now he seems to be experiencing a bit of a change in personality, which can happen when cats are in a shelter-type situation for too long. Renegade was a Mr. Busybody, always with his nose in our business, be it sweeping, scooping, whatever. Now he seems to sit up on top of a cage behind another cat and doesn't even come down for interaction with the volunteers. He was playful and funny and now he is almost invisible. We hate to see this happen and hope that someone out there loves all-black cats and will give Renegade a chance. That is March 29th, from Noon to 4 P.M. at our garage sale site in Laurium.

Another girl who is "Ready to Go" is Georgie Girl. Georgie is an attractive blend of tabby and torti. She has short tabby-ish fur with some patches of orange. Georgie LOVES treats and enjoys attention and pets. She will be at Adopt A Pet on Saturday, March 29th, so stop by and say hello! And maybe Georgie can say goodbye if you fall in love with her!

This is Goblin. You can call her Gobby, Linnie, or Whiskers! It doesn't matter what you would like to call her, she is still going to be the sweet girl we have come to know. We classify our rescued cats as "Ready to go" when they are spayed, combo tested, vaccinated, litter trained, apparently healthy, and socialized. Goblin is "ready to go!" In fact, she needs to go! She needs a home with people who have time to play with her and allow her to sit on a lap and receive love and attention. Goblin is a young spayed female who is quiet, yet playful at times and enjoys being around people. We will be having Adopt A Pet on Saturday, March 29th from Noon to 4 P.M> so stop by to meet Goblin.

CKD isn't limited to senior cats, and the AAFCO guidelines for cat food don't specify the maximum amount of phosphorus.

An excess of this one ingredient could cause irreparable damage.

Here we have too fluffy fur balls! Duke and Duchess, the royal couple! They were living outside with a lot of other cats, fending for themselves and not in contact with humans. Duke is enjoying attention and pets, but Duchess is still a little cautious. She will surely get over that when she has people that she can bond with and begin to trust. Stop by Saturday, March 15th, from Noon to 4 P.M. and meet these two pals.
