Copper Country Humane Society

Shelter Hours: Mon/Wed/Fri 4 - 8 p.m. and Saturday 2 - 7 p.m.

It is the primary mission of CCHS to operate a "no time limits" shelter for domestic (non-feral) dogs and cats from Keweenaw, Houghton, and Baraga Counties and the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in accordance with the guidelines set by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. The shelter receives animals from animal control and private citizens. CCHS works to return lost animals to their owners and to identify suitable homes for the remaining animals. These animals are not judged by "time of stay" to determine adoptability. Euthanasia will be considered per veterinarian recommendation based on health, temperament and quality of life and will only be performed by a veterinarian. While in our care, animals receive professional, quality care by concerned individuals dedicated to helping animals.

The Copper Country Humane Society (CCHS) is a non-profit (501c3) organization that is dedicated to the welfare and humane treatment of animals. 100% of the money needed for vet care, spay/neuter and medical needs for the 900 animals CCHS cares for annually is raised through monthly fundraising events and private donations. We thank you for all the support.
* CCHS is a local non–profit organization and not part of any state or national organization.*

Dorothy is a bit of a shy girl at first. Most people don't even know we have her unless they peak under the kennels where she likes to camp out. When we're closed she is often out and about and will even accept pets (especially if you have wet food). Dorothy needs a calm home where she will be given time to come out of her shell. She would do best in a home with no young kids, but other cats are fine by her. Could you be the one to give this gorgeous girl a chance?

Mipsy is not at the shelter. Please read her bio, and if interested, send a message to bparkinen@hotmail.com

Meet Mipsy. She is a 2-year-old spayed female. She came to us as a mother with three small kittens in June of 2021. We enjoyed having Mipsy and her kittens over the summer very much! In August, we rehomed 2 kittens, and we kept Mipsy and one of her boys. Unfortunately, things are not working out well at all. Mipsy had decided she wants to be the queen and isn’t a fan of having another cat around. We give her plenty of space and love, but she is not happy here. Mipsy needs a home with no other cats around. I am certain she could return to her loving old ways, but only if she is a single cat. She has always been an outdoor cat, so she would be a perfect barn/shop cat.

If you are interested in adopting Mipsy, please contact me directly at bparkinen@hotmail.com.

Uncle Eb kindly asks that you do not pull on those adorable feet, no matter how tempted you (or at least most of the staff) are. This guy is very shy at first, but he has been warming up and accepting pets. This boy LOVES other cats and needs to live with at least one feline friend. Please no young kids for this boy. He needs a patient home, but we really think he will warm up and be a sweetie. Could you be the one to give him a chance?

The best part of our day is when all the work is done and we get to spend time just snuggling. Bella and I were enjoying blankie and lap time. ❤️

🐱 Lo says no, the cat has NOT been let out of the bag. 🐱

This adorable chunky creature is Pumpkin Cat! As you could probably tell, this gal is very much in need of a diet and some exercise. She needs a home with someone who will work with her to get her healthy again. This big girl is made up 100% of love though! She is downright demanding for pets and she's not afraid to follow you around to get them. She tolerates other cats, but she would be happy as an only cat too. .

One of the things cats are great at is appreciating the little things in life, like comfy blankets 😻
