Here is another one of our pawesome rescues that we support! Glad we can be a part of their mission!! KAR rocks!! 😼

Happy New Year!
As we step into 2025, Kalamazoo Animal Rescue is excited to reflect on our incredible accomplishments of 2024.

In 2024:
- 810 KAR cats and dogs found their forever homes.
- 1,188 pets from Kalamazoo and surrounding areas were spayed/neutered at KAR.
- KAR's fosters hand raised 306 newborn kittens.
- Our volunteers returned over 150,000 cans and bottles to help fund our medical program.
- And we celebrated our 33rd year as an animal rescue organization.

We have a lot of plans for the year 2025 but we need your help!

As we welcome the new year, there's no better time than now to make a meaningful impact in our community. Kalamazoo Animal Rescue invites you to join our team of dedicated volunteers and help us continue our mission of saving and caring for animals in need. Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit to a regular schedule, your time and compassion can make a world of difference.

Together, we've made such an impact, and with your continued support, we can create a brighter future for our furry friends!

*Please note: Due to the rising costs of everything, we are having to increase our adoption fees by $10-$15 effective today. Thank you for your understanding.

Critter Crew! Know an outside cat that might love one of these? Stay warm Critter Crew!

We have feral cat shelters available!

We strongly suggest a $5 donation per shelter as the supplies to make these are not free and your donation helps us continue to offer them each year.

They are available while supplies last on a first come first serve basis, beginning Friday at noon.

The shelters are made from foam coolers with an entrance hole cut into two sides to allow the animal using it to escape if needed. They're filled with straw for warmth and the lid is taped on to keep it secure.

Reminders for outdoor winter shelters:

⚠️ If possible, shelters should be kept off the ground a few inches to better protect cats from the cold, standing water and snow.

⚠️ Use straw to insulate- DO NOT use hay, towels or blankets as these soak up moisture making them wet & cold and have been known to freeze to the animal using the shelter.

⚠️ Try to face the entrance to the shelter away from the wind.

⚠️ If you're trying to go a step further, please be sure to only use outdoor-approved heating sources for shelters and for keeping water bowls from freezing. Remember SAFETY FIRST!

Additionally, if you tend to a feral cat/ feral colony please reach out to your local spay/ neuter organizations for help.
Feeding and sheltering ferals is helpful but preventing them from procreating is the most productive thing you can do to help us overcome the stray & feral cat crisis we are facing.

Thank you.
