My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

****The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org****

This pretty little dilute calico is  Retta! Her mom and siblings were dumped in the country at a sanctuary for farm animals.  We imagine the ones who did it probably assumed they would just go unnoticed amongst the other animals on the property.  However, Retta, Ridley and Reeves were skinny, sick and covered in fleas so the family that cares for the sanctuary animals reached out for help and since they have helped up in placing farm animals, we were happy to help them with the mom and kittens. The siblings were born late April of 2025 and Retta might be the smallest of the sibs by quite a bit she has the biggest personality!  She is all about the attention and makes sure you know she is there.   She is spayed, microchipped, negative on FeLV/FIV and up-to-date on vaccinations. As always, cat/kitten adoptions are free will donation to approved applicants.

Additional adoption info

All interested parties must fill out an adoption application and be approved prior to adoption. If a family has currently, or in the recent past had pets then a veterinary reference is required. If not then two personal references are required. Our adoption fees for dogs range from $150-$300. Our adoption fee for cats is free will donation. After an adoption has been approved an adoption contract must be signed.

More about this shelter

The ECAS is an all volunteer, no kill shelter. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome pets in need due to neglect, abandonment, abuse or from simply not being wanted! We started in 2010 due to a need in our community. We are currently a foster based organization and we are currently building our new shelter facility. We work hand in hand with other rescue and shelters in the area to help out when and where we are needed.
