We hope that today, Saturday, January 4th will be Comet's adoption day. Coming from a situation involving multiple cats, he is fine, in fact, he may prefer being with other cats. But unlike many in that situation, he is also quite affectionate with humans. He enjoys attention in the form of pets and pay time! Comet is under one year old, we are not sure of the exact age, and very ready for a family! Stop by today and meet Comet!

This is not a good picture of Farran, but it is all I can access right now. He is a medium-long-haired, neutered male cat who, like Jeeves, came to us frightened and full of fleas, ear mites, and worms (also not neutered). He is a gorgeous, fairly large, blue-gray cat. Farran is beginning to trust us and has learned that he loves canned food! He gets his treat of canned food in the morning and then begs for more. Farran will one day be a wonderful, loving companion and the sooner someone starts to bond with him, the sooner he will relax and trust. If you are interested in helping a cat that would not be the first one picked, despite how handsome he is, stop by Saturday, January 6th to meet Farran.

Adopt A Pet Saturday 1/4/25 from Noon to 4 P.M. Come and meet Jeeves--a neutered male cat who has slowly been coming out of his shell. He is good with other cats (not sure about dogs).

Here is Georgie Girl resting on her blanket! The volunteers of K-SNAG would like to wish all of our adopters, donors, friends, and supporters a very Happy New Year. We could not exist without you all! We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit charity in the state of Michigan. We are made up of ALL VOLUNTEERS, no one gets even a dime for all the work that they do. Our foster homes provide all the food, and litter for their fosters. Our volunteers drive all the rescued animals to the vet use their vehicles and pay for the gas. out of their own pockets. We try to help support ourselves by having garage sales throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall--but we couldn't do it without the people who donate the items. what is a garage sale with nothing to sell? We return lots of pop cans for the ten-cent deposit and we thank all the people who drop off cans for us. How could we get a can deposit if we didn't have any cans? We save Econo receipts, attend craft shows, save our aluminum cans to sell to Menco, and of course take in stray cats and attempt to place them into wonderful homes. We could do none of this without the help of the residents of the Keweenaw. Our fund-raising efforts help but it is the donations from area (and non-area) residents that truly keep us going. We thank you and wish you all a very Happy and Healthy 2025!

Update on kitten from U.S. 41. We have an adoption form that people fill out to adopt a cat from K-SNAG. We had a family who had an adoption form on file. They were waiting for a calm male cat as a friend for their cat that they adopted from us about a year ago. When this cat came in they agreed to a foster-to-adopt situation. He already has his vet appointment to be vet-checked and neutered. He is in a great place and will have a wonderful life now. THANK YOU everyone for your kindness and concern for this cat. We have many other cats who have come out of bad situations as well , so if you are interested in adopting a rescued cat who needs help to adjust, fill out an application and get it to us!

Comet (right) is a neutered male about 6-8 months old. He is shy at first, but his desire for attention gives him courage! He really enjoys head scratches. His friend is Bahama, a spayed female kitten about 6-8 months old also. She is still quite frightened of just about everything and hisses when approached, but that is as far as it goes. If a person pets her she allows it. These two are friends, but not really bonded. It would probably be better for them to be placed separately so that each would come out of their shell and bond with their person.

Jeeves is all dressed up in his tuxedo and ready to go home with his new person/family! He loves to play and looks adorable when he is lying on his back with a toy in his paws. Jeeves is neutered, combo tested, vaccinated, and has been treated for fleas, worms, and ear mites. He's a medium long-haired boy about 2 years old who gets along with other cats. Stop by and meet Jeeves Saturday, December 28th, from Noon to 4 P.M.

Mango has had a difficult life. He lived outside for over a year and although residents were attempting to catch him, they were unsuccessful until we were called and our trapping expert was able to get him. In the beginning, his skin would jump and continue to jerk, any time he was touched. We were not sure why. Perhaps it was just nervousness, but he seems to have gotten over that now. He is loved by the three female cats that share his room, all of them taking turns to snuggle with him. It would be nice if he could be adopted with one of his lady friends! Mango is an orange short-haired cat who loves his canned food and enjoys being up high just chilling!

Pigeon was found in Dollar Bay, with a litter of kittens. Her kittens were placed quite a while ago, but Pigeon is still with us. She is a lovely soft gray tabby. Pigeon is quiet and gets along well with the other cats that she knows at K-SNAG. She does have an allergic or autoimmune condition called indolent ulcer that causes her upper lip to swell from time to time and she must go to the vet for a steroid shot. That has worked so far. A cat like Pigeon would be a nice companion for a middle-aged or older person or couple. She enjoys attention and would come out of her shell in a quiet household. Stop by to meet Pigeon on Saturday, December 21st from Noon to 4 P.M. at our garage sale site in Laurium.

Elkie came to us from Pelkie, where she showed up at a house in the country, far from any neighbors. She was shy but feeling hungry she was coaxed into the house, and the finder called K-SNAG. She is still shy at first with strangers but she has such an affectionate personality that her shyness should lessen as she bonds with her new people. She purrs and rolls on her back as you pet her--if you can reach her near the ceiling! Elkie has an adorable sort of flat face and pretty tabby markings. She gets along well with the cats that she is with at K-SNAG. Stop by and meet Elkie on Saturday, December 21st from Noon to 4 P.M.

Georgie Girl may not seem very interesting when you first come to visit, she hangs back (unless there are treats involved) and doesn't approach strangers. Like most of the cats in this situation, she will blossom in a real home, where people live! Stop by to meet Georgie Girl on Saturday, December 21, from Noon to 4 P.M.

We would really like to see Comet in a home. He has become so affectionate and playful now that he knows he is safe! He is neutered, combo tested, vaccinated, and has been treated for ear mites and worms. He likes other cats too! Come and meet Comet! Saturday, December 21, from Noon to 4 P.M.

This little girl Raisin is such a sweet and gentle cat. This picture was taken when she was younger, she is coming up on a year old now and doesn't look much different. She is small for her age. She has been waiting for a home since she was about 8 weeks old. All black kittens are not chosen at the same rate as other colors of kittens. We don't know why, because we think they are beautiful! She is shy at K-SNAG with so many other cats around, but when we put her in a cage, she is very affectionate and personable. Stop by our Adopt A Pet tomorrow, Saturday, December 21, and meet Raisin!
