Contented Critters

Animal shelter in Makinen, MN

Contented Critters (formerly S N A P Spay Neuter Aid Program) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN: 41-1835418, License: MN140872) no-kill animal shelter located in Ely, Minnesota. However, while our facility is in Ely, we rescue animals from across Northern Minnesota, and have partnerships that help us rescue animals from across the world.

The mission of Contented Critters is to advocate for and help pets in need through rescue, no-kill sheltering, rehabilitation, appropriate veterinary care, and adoption.

Our vision is to reduce the community need for pet rescue through preemptive measures, such as a spay and neuter program for pets in our care, and community outreach and education.
