Help From My Friends

Cat and kitten rescue Just Cats, Inc. operates out of foster homes. To assist the neighborhood with the stray cat population, we collaborate closely with other rescue organizations, shelters, and humane societies. When owners can no longer give their cats or kittens the care they need, we also assist in finding new homes for them.

The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is an independent non-profit 501(c)3 no-kill animal shelter that has been helping pets and their owners in Charlevoix County since 1974. It is committed to the protection and care of all animals.

The Donald Reece Animal Shelter served as the foundation stone for the establishment of the Otsego County Animal Control Department in 1974. The director of animal control is in charge of managing the staff and the shelter's general operations. The County Administrator is the Director's superior.

We offer a secure haven for the animals entrusted to us as we work to find them loving, responsible, and long-term homes while promoting animal welfare.

Animal welfare is the focus of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Great Lakes Humane Society. Our headquarters are located in Leelanau County, about three miles west of Traverse City, on a 10-acre private farm.
