Hi there friends! My name is Ray and I am a super handsome 2 month old black cat that came to LTBHS in hopes of finding myself a forever home. If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application and come on in to spend some time with me. I hope to meet you soon!

The Little Traverse Bay Humane Society is at 1300 West Conway Road or online at LTBHS.com. They are a private, no kill shelter serving Emmet County.

 

 

Cherryland Humane Society

Meet Kal! Kal is a fun-loving, playful, and downright goofy guy with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. This wiggly social butterfly lives for human attention and makes fast friends wherever he goes. Whether he’s leaning in for booty rubs, cuddling on the couch, or trotting around with a tennis ball (or two) in his mouth, Kal is always ready to bring a smile to your face.

Smart and eager to please, Kal already knows sit, down, and come, and he’s working on mastering drop it-especially important when tennis balls are involved (which is basically always). He’s strong and enthusiastic, so he’d do best with dog-savvy kiddos and would likely enjoy having a dog friend with proper introductions. Kal is the kind of pup who’s always up for an adventure but equally happy to snuggle up after a fun day. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly goofy companion who will be your ride-or-die, Kal might just be your perfect match.

Come meet your new best friend – Kal can’t wait to wiggle his way into your heart!

Thank you so much for your support in finding our furry friends forever homes!

TC PAWS

BONDED PAIR
PEACHES & HERB
2 years old and littermates

Peaches
Domestic Short Hair
Medium Adult Female (spayed)

Peaches has worked really hard to trust people after she was rescued from a cat colony and placed in a TC Paw foster home.

She has come a very long way from hiding in her bed in the closet. She is more comfortable coming out of her bed and letting you pet her. Instead of hiding on the dining room chairs, she suns herself in the window.

Peaches socializes and plays with the other cats or will sit and watch them play. She loves her wet food. Peaches is very sweet and will make a great cat if given time.

Her brother Herb lives in the same foster home. These two cats are bonded. We feel they should remain together. Please check Herb’s page too and see if you have room in your home and heart for this good-looking orange pair.

HERB:

Rescued from a cat colony, Herb has come a long way from the shy boy he was to the lovable guy he is now who enjoys being petted and having his belly rubbed, and he’s quick to purr in response.

He took a while to warm up, but now he loves to play with the people, kids, the other cats, and even the puppy in his TC Paw foster home.

He isn’t crazy about being picked up, and loud noises or a lot going on may make him hide, but most days you’ll find him lounging on the cat bed in the sunny bay window or on the screened porch with his other buddies or his sister Peaches.

Herb likes to chase his toy mouse around. He likes wet food. In his new home, Herb will need an adjustment period. The best way to do that is to start talking to him, then talk while petting him. Give Herb some time, and he will be a real sweetie.

Herb’s sister Peaches is in the foster home with him. They are bonded, and we feel they will need each other to adjust to a new home. Please check Peaches’ page too and see if you have room in your heart and home for this good-looking orange pair.

If you are interested in adopting this TC Paw cat or would like to set up a meet-and-greet, please complete the  Pre-adoption Application .

TC Paw Cat Rescue was formed in the Spring of 2023 after the well-known northern Michigan rescue group AC PAW retired their rescue program for cats and dogs. Their mission is helping cats and kittens in the greater Traverse City region through rescue, spay/neuter, fostering, adoption, education and community collaboration.

 

From the Charlevoix Humane Society

Hello there! The name’s Pebble. I am a 2 year old Pembroke corgi mix. My brother and I ended up at the shelter after being transferred from downstate. Whatever that means. I was pretty scared when I first got here. Who wouldn’t be after such a big change? With lots of cookies and head scratches, the humans are starting to win me over. New people still make me a little nervous. You know, stranger danger. But once they sit with me for a minute, I feel more comfortable opening up. I hope you don’t mind if I find my way into your lap. It’s only fair that I repay the belly rubs the humans give me with kisses. So you can expect lots of those. I can be a little pushy with other dogs when I get over stimulated, but overall could probably coexist with another dog. The humans have asked me whether or not I like cats, but I’ve never met one so how can I be sure? Do you think we could be friends? I promise to make the visit worth your while!

 

 

From AuSable Valley Animal Shelter

Hi Friends! Did you see that squirrel!?! Oops, sorry, I got excited! Back to it, my name is Avery!
I am a 2-year-old, medium mixed breed gal, weighing in at about 38lbs. I am spayed, vaccinated, and up to date on my heartworm testing. I found myself at the shelter when my owner didn’t have anywhere else to turn and wanted to do right by my brother, sister, and I.
I am very outgoing! I take no time at all to find my way into your lap, and I have one mission, to steal your heart! I am still very puppy-like, as I’m not sure that I received a lot of training growing up, but I’m food motivated, and I am an equal opportunity treat taker, all treats are delicious! I learn quickly. So far, I’ve spent time learning to walk better on the leash (I still get excited to walk, and sometimes I tangle myself up in the leash), how to take treats respectfully, and I’m working on how to sit. I will need a family that’s willing to be patient with me as I learn all the things. At the shelter, I appear to have no issues with other dogs, or cats, I don’t mind the company of kids.
If you’d like to meet me, you’re welcome to stop by the shelter Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm. You can also reach out to my friends if you have any questions. They can be reached at AVASCares2@gmail.com, or by phone at 989-348-4117.
