Emmet County Animal Shelter

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

Meet Dude

Strap in for a ride because our Dude has some history! This affectionate Bengal is Texas bred and born, but ended up in Minnesota. He got lost and was then rescued by a different Minnesotan, who got him neutered. Unfortunately, Dude did not get along with the female senior cat in that home, so his rescuer had to rehome him. Dude ended up in Iowa, got declawed, and found himself living with another senior female cat who did not get along with him. After that, the human portion of the household expanded, and both Dude and his reluctant roommate ended up at the shelter due to severe allergies. Dude seems like a friendly, playful, affectionate, human-oriented housecat, but he is a lot closer to his wild ancestors than most pet cats and would probably do best as the only cat in a home. Dude seems pretty chill for a Bengal, but this is not a cat you should adopt just because you like the look of him. He needs a knowledgeable human and a home that can meet his needs. Dude deserves toys, places to be up that he can navigate without his front claws (he loves hammocks), and someone to regularly spend time actively playing with him. Dude was born June 2021. He is neutered, declawed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants. ****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org****
