🐾 PET OF THE DAY--PIXIE! 🐾

Hi Friends! My name is Pixie! The shelter team named me that because I'm very cute, but I can be a little sassy sometimes. I'm really a diamond in the woof, I mean rough.

I am approximately 2 years old, I'm vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on my heartworm testing. In a couple of weeks, I'll be getting spayed.

I was brought to the shelter as a stray, and from what everyone can tell, my life before the shelter wasn't so great. I likely didn't have much socialization with other animals, and I wasn't trained on basic manners. The shelter team has helped me come a long way, but I still need to improve in some areas, so I'm hoping to find the right fit for me.

It takes me some time to warm up to new people, so a patient adopter is very important. Additionally, a home with kids would not be best for me as it takes me some time to trust new people, and kids can be a little too forward for my comfort level. I would be a great dog for someone looking for a companion in a quiet home where I can learn to trust and feel comfortable. I will not do well living with another dog or cat, as that is very stressful for me. Eventually after some time, learning that not all touch is bad, and that people aren't all mean, I might warm up to the idea of sharing attention, but for now, it really just needs to be all about me.

If you're interested in taking some time to come and get to know me, stop by the shelter Tuesday - Saturday 10am-6pm. If you have questions, reach out to the team at [email protected] or by phone at 989-348-4117.I hope I get to meet you soon!

🐾 OUR HEARTS ARE OPEN, BUT OUR CAT ROOMS ARE FULL!🐾

AuSable Valley Animal Shelter is currently at full cat-pacity, and we are unable to accept any additional cats or kittens at this time. Our feline guests would like you to know that every available accommodation is occupied—and apparently, sharing your favorite napping spot is simply out of the question. ❤️

While we can smile at their cattitudes, this is a serious situation. Every cat in our care needs space, attention, and resources to stay healthy and comfortable. Knowing our limits helps us give them the care they deserve.

We'll let you know right away when we're able to accept cats again. Please watch our page for updates.

Want to help? Consider adopting, sharing our adoptable cats, or donating toward their daily care. Every bit of support makes a difference.

And thank you for your patience, compassion, and understanding. Our space may be limited, but our gratitude for this community certainly isn’t. 🐱❤️
