Meet Nathan! This sweet, shy, one year old young man is looking for his forever home! He’s new to shelter life, so new friends can be a little scary, but if you give him a moment to get comfortable he wants nothing more than to cuddle up with you! He would love a quiet home with lots of love, and a family who’s going to let him take the world at his pace. If you’re looking for a gentle sweet boy to light up your life, come visit Nathan today!
TC PAWS
This week, we have a bonded pair of kittens, Reggie and Shila.
Reggie came to TC Paw from a TNR situation. A feral mother cat and her four-week-old kittens were living in a crawlspace. The mother was released, and the kittens were placed in a TC Paw foster home. Reggie was friendly from the start. He’s a mellow cat who purrs readily and plays with his littermates and the toddler and teens in his foster home. He doesn’t hide from people or activity, and he likes to be around the other cats. Small cat toys and long hair are his favorite playthings. Reggie’s only dislikes are the family’s two small dogs. Reggie hisses at them when they came near. Otherwise, he’s an easy-going guy who will be a great pet. Reggie’s foster family welcomes home visits from applicants who want to meet him in his home setting.
Shila also came to TC Paw from a TNR situation and is bonded with Reggie. Shila arrived at her foster home hissing and hiding, but it took only a day for her to warm up to the toddler and teens in her foster home. She likes being held and petted and being with other kittens, but she’s content on her own too. Her foster home has two small dogs that Shila prefers to avoid. The foster family welcomes home visits from applicants who want to meet Shila in her home setting.

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.

Meet Maureen (left) and Izzy (right). These girls are bonded and need to stay together.
Maureen was a skinny stray living around and under the deck of a Kewadin residence whose owners called TC Paw and said they thought she and the other cat with her had been dumped nearby since they hadn’t seen the cats before. Maureen is a friendly, confident cat who looks you right in the eye. She kind of flirts with you by rolling on her back when she wants something. Really cute. She’s a pretty cat with a mane around her face, a bushy tail, soft fur, and eyes that go from gold to green in different light. She’s quick on her feet and likes to stand on shoulders or chair backs to be close and observe. She uses her scratching post regularly. Maureen loves attention. Pick her up and hold her to your chest, talk to her, and let her curl up in your lap. She looks out the window and chatters at birds. When she’s hungry, Maureen will nibble and lick the ends of your fingers. Maybe it’s a behavior left over from being a hungry stray that will fade when she’s confident that there’s plenty of food.
Izzy made herself right at home with her foster family. She has a loud purr, and she likes to be picked up and held. She has beautiful green eyes, a shiny tortoiseshell coat, and an orange spot on her rear paws. She’s quick on her feet, uses her scratching post, likes to stretch out, and enjoys exploring high, low and small spaces. When it’s naptime, she finds a quiet spot. Possibly because she was so hungry as a stray, Izzy has a big appetite and will finish a slower cat’s food. Her foster intervenes, and we think this behavior will fade as Izzy gets more confident that there’s plenty of food.

Say hello to Ritz!
This big, handsome fella came to us after being found as a stray wandering around Boyne Falls for almost a week. We are guessing he is around 3 years old. While he may look tough, Ritz is a big softie and even a little nervous when it comes to new people. Ritz favors women, but will accept men when given time to warm up. We believe Ritz is housetrained, he keeps his kennel VERY clean and doesn’t seem to rip up or toys or his bedding. Ritz doesn’t seem to care for dominant male dogs, but may do well with a more submissive dog. He seems extremely curious of cats, so we are unsure if a house with cats would be the best fit for him. This sweet boy just needs a chance and a family to call his own, could that be you??
Adopting a pet from the Charlevoix Area Humane Society not only changes the life of an animal but also enriches your own life in countless ways. If you would like to adopt one of our dogs or cats, you will need to fill out an application and once it is approved, we can then set up an appointment for a visit. Please call 231-582-6774 with any questions.

Hey there, I’m Luna!
I’m a 8-month-old, 27-pound Sparkling Moonlight Terrier, full of energy, fun, and pure joy, and I’m looking for someone who can keep up with my playful spirit! I’ve got a lot of zest for life, which means I love to run, jump, and show off my goofy side. My rough-and-tumble play style might be a bit much for some, but trust me—if you’re looking for an active, spirited pup, I’m your girl!
I can be a little nippy when I get excited, but that’s just me getting caught up in the fun. I promise I’m all heart, and once I’ve worked off some of my energy, I’ll settle down and show you just how
sweet and affectionate I can be. Whether I’m giving you a big, goofy grin or curling up for some snuggles, I’m always ready to share my love with the right person.
I’m spayed, microchipped, up to date on all my vaccinations, and heartworm negative—so I’m all set to join your family and make every day an adventure!
If you’re looking for a high-energy girl who’s full of personality and will keep you on your toes (in the best way), I might just be your perfect match. Contact the shelter at 989-348-4117 or avascares2@gmail.com for more information or how you can meet me! Let’s make some memories together!
