🐱 Kitten Season Is Upon Us! 🐱
🐈 What is Kitten Season?
The period from April-September when intact female cats have their little ones and local shelters are inundated with orphaned bottle baby litters and kittens ages 5-8weeks.
🐈‍⬛ How Can You Help SCCAC Prepare for the Kittening?
💡Donate from our Amazon Kitten Shower Wishlist
📋 This is what we use to make Kitten Kits: supply kits for 72 hours with all the fixings to help finders safely hold on to kittens until we can get bottle babies or borderline mushers into a longer term
foster.
🩺💉Donate to our Emergency Medical Fund at
PayPal.me/sccanimals as many kittens come in dehydrated with snotty noses and Upper Respiratory Infections 🤒🤧
🥷🏻 Don’t Kitten-Nap! It’s Normal for momma cat to leave kittens alone for a few hours while she hunts. Unless kittens are cold, wet, skinny, Mom is doing a good job. Call or email us and we can talk about getting kittens off the street around week 4.
🚨🚨🚨 Don’t Panic! Monitor for 24-48 hours. Kittens should be pink, chubby, and warm with full milk bellies. It’s a myth that if you touch them, momma won’t care for them. BUT she might move them. So don’t be intrusive.
🍼🐱🍼 Enroll to be a bottle-feeder emergency foster (2-3 weeks) or a kitten foster (2-10 weeks). It’s really best these kiddos grow up in a home, not a shelter! And we provide all the stuff!
🛍️ Biggest needs🛍️
🔴KMR - Kitten Milk Replacer
🟠 Snuggle Discs
🟡 Snuggle Friends with a heartbeat
🟢 Gentle pet wipes (unscented)
🔵 Bottle/syringe with ni**le attachment kits
🟣 Flat boxes from cat food (make great tiny litter boxes)
🔴 Fleecy Soft Blankets just kitten sized (10”x10x”)
🟠 Churu tubes! Go-gurt for kittens!
🟡 Tide or Arm & Hammer Laundry detergent (low/no scent)
🟢 Clorox Bleach (5-8%, no fragrance)
🔵 Regular Blue Dawn with the duck on the label
A million other things… https://amzn.to/4c092WQ
The more supplies that are donated, the more we are prepared, the more babes we can save!
Thank you!

As always, we’re happy to answer questions at [email protected]
Donations can be dropped off from 9-3:30 Monday-Friday at 3378 Griswold Port Huron, MI 48060

Here are St. Clair County Animal Control's February 2025 Raw Data of Noses In and Noses Out for our shelter.
We currently have 39 cats 51 dogs in care -- and a handful (17) of our cruelty/neglect livestock friends who will be off to their new homes this weekend.

One thing I'd like to bring everyone's attention to is the amount of stray dogs and the lower-than-normal Return to Owner rate. This is due to increased abandonment of dogs left behind in rentals and found dogs running at large that were never reclaimed. All of us at SCCAC would like to remind folks that if you are thinking of rehoming your pets or have insecure housing, please reach out as soon as possible for resources on safe rehoming and County human support resources as we are unable to take same-day owner surrenders. We only have 39 working 4x4 kennels and 3 4x8 kennels for dogs.

We had to use some shorthand to make our graphic legible
-- ORE means Owner Requested Euthanasia
-- RTO means Return To Owner
-- Euthanasia for Safety means Public or Staff Safety
-- Euthanasia Critical means an animal that is so critically ill or injured they were not able to be stabilized for advanced care or were in irredeemable suffering.
-- Euthanasia Deterioration means the animal is suffering from kennel neurosis to the point of self-injury despite pharmacological intervention.

We will continue to post these numbers monthly.
Director Melissa A. Miller, CCBC-KA

Did You Know?

Since way back in 1919, dog licenses are required for all dogs in Michigan! If you're in the SCCAC office, you can take a look at our License Showcase and see all the licenses going back to 1922! (We are currently missing 1920, 1921, 1924, 1931-35, 1958, 1970 for you antique and garage sale hunters!)

A dog license should be worn on the dog at all times unless hunting or participating in competition. We always encourage permanent identification (microchipping) as well so we get get a dog home ASAP if they are wandering without a collar.

The benefit of licensing is having identification that tells Animal Control, law enforcement and finders where the dog belongs if they are off their property by calling SCCAC or Central Dispatch. Licenses also let you have access to some community dog partks, let you cross the border, and keeps you from getting a misdemeanor citation.

In St. Clair County, licenses are scheduled to be valid for the duration of the rabies vaccine. To make sure you get the full length of your 1-year or 3-year license, get your dog licensed within 30 days of receiving their rabies vaccine.

Dogs can receive their rabies vaccines at 16 weeks (4 months) and must receive their first vaccine by 6 months old.

The metal tag provided by some veterinarian offices IS NOT A LICENSE. This is sometimes referred to as a "rabies tag" but has no legal importance.

Dog Licenses are actually the responsibility of the Treasurer’s office, but SCCAC on Griswold is an authorized seller for licenses. Please direct questions regarding licensing to [email protected] or call (810) 989-6999 x6120. License applications sent through the online portal or the PO Box can take 6-8 weeks to process.

We know it's a bummer, but the online portal is for renewals only. If you have a new dog, you can mail in the information to the PO Box or come into the SCCAC office on Griswold.

Remember: To get a license, you will need a copy of the most recent rabies vaccination certificate with the veterinarian’s signature.

Spayed/Neutered Dogs
1-year - $12 3-year $35

Intact Dogs (can still make puppies)
1-year - $22 3-year $65

In our 2024 Year In Review, we chose to highlight the cruelty/neglect survivors as well as those that came in needing emergency intervention. (Don’t worry, we posted the happy and recovering photos or photos where the main injuries aren’t visible.) We chose to end with a beautiful rainbow behind the shelter from this summer to represent all those we couldn’t save. Your donations to our Emergency Medical Fund helped every single one of these animals get the life-saving care they needed. There is more information on donating to this fund in the comments. Thank you to everyone! And Happy New Year!
