***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Are you looking for a full contact kitty with no personal space or boundaries?  Would you like a pet with the energy of a dog, but you don't have to go out to go potty?  Have you ever thought.... gee, it might be fun to have a flying squirrel?  Do you think you have too many Knick knacks but wouldn't mind losing a few to a cat parkouring off your shelves and curio cabinets?  And are you really into the whole theory that orange cats only possess one brain cell? If you have said yes to the above questions, we have got the purrrrfect cat for you! This is Hawk!  Hawk is a little bit nutty, naughty and neurotic!  BUT! He has so much love and affection to give even is on occasion he uses his little teefs to tell you how very much he loves you!!!! Hawk is up for an adventure and in fact that is kinda what got him into trouble in the first place. Hawk rode in the under carriage of a pick-up that had gone back and forth to a neighboring town not once but twice before he was discovered and extricated from under the vehicle.  Maybe the bumps in the road shook his little brains up or maybe he was just born this way we shall never know!  But what we do know is that if you choose to bring this little orange furry of fur into your home you will never be bored again!!!!!  Hawk is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and FeLV/FIV negative.  As always, our cat/kitten adoption fees are free will to approved applicants.    ***update....since this original bio was written for our sweet guy Hawk, he had FIP or Feline Infectious Proteinosis.  We encourage you to look that up to learn more.  We are so incredibly happy to announce that Hawk is in full recovery and our very FIRST FIP kitty to have been treated and recover!!!!! Hawk also nearly lost an eye to his disease but with dedicated care and much strength on his part his beautiful eyes are also fine now too.  So this guy was super special prior to his diagnosis and treatment and now even more so.  January 30, 2025, 4:09 pm

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** Dill is the name of this sleek black tiny house panther.  Born September of 2024, Dill had been in a county impound and no once came to claim him so he joined us at the shelter as just a little lad.  As you can see he is growing into a big boy with a beautiful coat and stunning eyes.  And who wouldn't want a house panther....we believe no house is complete with out one frankly!  Dill gets along great with all of his roommates and loves to play, wrestle and take big naps in a cuddle puddle.  If your house is lacking a house panther Dill is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and FeLV/FIV negative and up for the job!  As always our adoption fees for cats/kittens are free will to approved applicants. January 30, 2025, 4:09 pm

Story
 ****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org**** Dumplin is a cute playful boy who just wants toys. This adorable little boy was found as a wee kitten in the back of a pick up bed when he was only about 2 weeks old.  No sign of siblings or mom and crying loudly he came into rescue to spend time in one of our very special bottle feeding foster homes. Since he was a solo kitten, so the move to a room with other kittens was a bit confusing for him. He found an ice cream cone shaped toy to bat around, but the other kittens kept batting at poor Dumplin for getting too close! Fortunately, kittens usually adapt quickly, so Dumplin has since made some friends in the form of Dill and Lubber. Dumplin was born July of 2024. If he is not neutered by the time he is adopted, he will be on a spay/neuter contract. He is microchipped, FeLV/FIV negative and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants. January 30, 2025, 3:47 pm

Story
****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org**** When Flint first moved into a room with unfamiliar kittens, he clearly wanted to make them all walk the plank. Fortunately, he has since settled in and occupied himself with toys. Flint likes human attention. He might grow up a bit territorial, so he would be best adopted with his sister Morgan or be the only cat in the household. Flint and his siblings were discovered as tiny kittens and had been abandoned by their mom or something happened to her as they were crying and hungry when they were rescued.  He and the rest of the crew went to a bottle foster for round the clock care. The kittens were born July of 2024.  He is neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants.  January 30, 2025, 3:47 pm
