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.

Remember, K-SNAG can help with spay/neuter costs for cats and dogs. It's the original reason the group formed! Now we also help homeless cats find homes. Unfortunately, many of the females are already pregnant or have had kittens by the time people call us. We love kittens, but there are too many of them, and some arrive needing extra medical care because of the conditions they were born into outside. Please be proactive and spay/neuter your pets!

Dahlia is another very nice cat. She loves attention, treats, and play time. She gets along well with other cats, but would be fine as an only cat, too. She enjoys being up high on cat trees or the tops of cages. Dahlia is a gorgeous dilute Torti. Stop by and meet her Saturday, November 29th, from Noon to 4 P.M.

Hey Everyone! We aren't going to let a little snow get in the way of our Adopt-A- Pet and garage sale this Saturday! So come on by and meet our Elkie. She is a DSH tabby cat with a cute, slightly smushed-in face. She is a quiet girl who is very loyal once she bonds with someone. She is the perfect quiet companion for an adult or a pair of adults! She would even be fine in an apartment, as she isn't super active. We will open the man door, so if you would like to browse our books and Christmas items, that would be fine! Just dress warm! This is tomorrow, Saturday, November 29th, from Noon to 4 P.M.

Here we have Siva (gray & white) in the background, and Jupiter in front. Jupiter is a neutered male tabby & white kitten about 10 months old. He is an example of a cat born outside, not exposed to people, and now is shy at first. But he loves to play and he enjoys treats, so a little one-on-one with him in a small space to start, and he will be your loyal companion for years to come. He has three brothers, and two have already been placed in wonderful homes and are flourishing. We want that for Jupiter and his brother Lennon, too. The camera seems to have changed his coloring a bit. He is more silver gray than shown here.

We have some older kittens also. When people come they do not act friendly because the visitors are STRANGERS! But, again, once they get into a home, away from other cats, where they can begin to bond with their own people, they will be wonderful. It just takes time and a small room to start them off, so they can adjust to the strange new world. Here we have Keys, who is about 8-10 months old (yellow and white), with her friend Elkie. Elkie is also ready for adoption. She is a darling cat with a slightly squished face. She is calm, sweet, and very gentle. Keys and Elkie will be at Adopt A Pet tomorrow, November 22nd, from Noon to 4 P.M.. You can still browse our garage sale too!

Remember the Land of the Misfit Toys (in the cartoon special Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer)? We might be the Land of the Misfit Cats! Just kidding (sort of). The cats we take are cats that have been living outside, through no fault of their own, and they become frightened and hesitant to trust people. In most cases, they will begin to trust again, in time. They need small spaces to start, so that they can feel secure and not overwhelmed. They need people to interact with them, especially playing, gentle petting, and treats! Kindness and time spent with these cats is very effective. With patience, many shy cats develop a strong bond with their new person or people and are very loyal. They are worth the effort, and they need loving homes. With that said, I am going to introduce you to a litter of kittens. They were born outside and lived their lives outside with their mom until they were about 12 weeks old. Although frightened at first, they are making fantastic progress. We hold them, and they enjoy pets and treats. They have been to the vet for their first vaccines and wellness exams. They are ready for some one-on-one attention to continue learning to trust and to become more relaxed. Stop by for Adopt A Pet tomorrow, Saturday, November 22nd, from Noon to 4 P.M. and meet little Muusta, Doozy, Umbra, and Azul.

This is the time of year that we begin to get a lot of calls about stray cats. When the weather turns cold, cats start looking for shelter and warmth. We have taken numerous cats that were suffering from frostbite. Here is a golden oldie picture of our Frankie (long since been placed in a wonderful home). She lost the tops of her ears and most of her tail to frostbite. We sincerely hope that people will consider relinquishing their cats to a shelter that takes owner-relinquished pets, if they can no longer keep them, rather than leaving them outside, thinking that cats can fend for themselves. They can't, especially in the winters here in the Copper Country. We recently took in a cat who is skin and bones. At her vet visit today, we learned that she has a problem with at least one of her teeth, and that is probably one of the reasons that she is not eating. A cat left outside that develops a problem like this will most likely die, as they refuse to eat when in pain, and there is not much to eat at this time of the year for an ailing cat who doesn't feel like hunting. Please report any strays that may be struggling outside.

This is Jupiter, a neutered male gray and white tabby kitten. This picture was taken several months ago, so he has grown since then, but has not been still long enough to get a decent picture of him. He had three brothers, two have been adopted, and Jupiter and his brother Lennon are still waiting. We think we know why. They act scared when people come. But when they get away from all the cats, we believe they will bond with their person. Their brother Nosey was the same way, and his new owner reports that he is wonderful. The cats that appear timid at first really deserve a chance. We are looking for experienced cat people who realize that cats take time to adjust but will bond and become wonderful companions. Stop by tomorrow, Saturday, November 15th, and meet Jupiter and Lennon, along with the rest of our interesting cats.

Also, the doors will be open to the Garage Sale! Keys will be there. She is a darling orange and white kitten. She has a brother, Treble, who is slightly more buff colored than orange. They are both spayed and neutered. They love to play and provide a lot of entertainment as they chase each other around.
