Kitten Shower
We're having a KITTEN SHOWER! We recently took in 24 cats (several pregnant) & kittens from a hoarding situation and we now have 5 more kittens to care for (more on the way!). Some of our big needs will be Kitten food (purina One wet or dry) and KMR. Having 29 (and counting) lives in our hands has stretched us to our max right now - we receive no city or county assistance, so it's because of all of YOU that we are able to help! THANK YOU everyone who is supporting us!! WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Our Mission
Welcome to Second Chance Animal Shelter in Alpena MI! Our mission is driven by a deep commitment to enhance the lives of animals. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for domestic animals in need, ensuring they receive the care and compassion they deserve.
We also recognize the importance of addressing the issue of domestic animal overpopulation, and thus, we actively engage in education and support programs that promote responsible pet ownership and encourage spaying and neutering.
Additionally, we strive to foster stronger bonds between humans and animals by providing valuable resources and guidance, empowering individuals to create lasting connections with their animal companions. Together, we can make a positive impact on the welfare of animals and promote a harmonious coexistence between humans and our cherished animal friends.
