Who We Are

We are a grass-roots (all volunteer), non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals.  We are made up of ordinary people, living ordinary lives, with a love of and for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species.  We are united together in a common purpose; and are driven to accomplish all we can for the benefit of the animals of our community.


Noteworthy News
The 3rd Annual
Canine Contacts Expo
Expo 2009 040b.jpg
was held at the Kalkaska Kaliseum on Saturday, June 27th - and it was certainly a day gone to the dogs!!  KCA was the recipient this year of the event's net proceeds and will use the extra funding to offset the cost of new dog houses for the Kalkaska Animal Shelter. 

KCA extends a warm thank you to all those who donated to the event, and to the public who attended.  We had a great time! 

Please plan to stop by the Shelter soon and take a look at the new dog houses, and pick out a new best friend for life!









 















What We Do

We strive to continue to spay and neuter the majority of the pets at our local animal shelter to reduce overpopulation and to reduce costs to adopters. Less than 2 out of every 10 pets stay in their original home for their lifetime. The rest are either given away, sold, abandoned, become lost, or taken to animal shelters. The vast majority of the pets in animal shelters are not strays, they are turned in by people that no longer feel they can provide for them. Consequently, there are so very many wonderful pets to choose from who need a second chance. We promote and advertise adoptions.

Since our inception, we have brought about a great deal of change which resulted in improvements at the Kalkaska Animal Shelter.  The Shelter Staff, Chuck and Sara, strive to find homes for all of their adoptable animals. Sara, Sandy (a previous shelter employee) and Chuck persevered even when a rescue of 80 animals (a rescue which we were involved in) resulted in a total of over 100 animals at their small facility. Over 90% of the animals were adopted out even though they had to care for them for many months. That is outstanding!

We work to end over-population by funding spaying and neutering. We also promote humane, compassionate attitudes toward animals. No animal deserves to suffer, and all pets deserve a loving home. We have a long-term goal - to become a Humane Society - and we will strive to achieve that goal. In the meantime, we continue to help in all ways possible.

Thank you for visiting our site; please stop by often and check out the adoptable animals and for dates, times and locations of Spay/Neuter Clinics!

What You Can Do
There are several ways to help animals in need!  Volunteers are needed for fund-raising events such as the Trout Festival  or the Expo.  We sell pet accessories such as collar covers and scarves, homemade dog biscuits, and many other pet items at our events - you can ease the time-crunch for KCA members by just donating an afternoon to 'make or bake' something.  Many who cannot make a commitment to a monthly meeting help financially to offset costs.  There are as many ways to help as there are people in our community.  Please contact us to see how you can be a part of  reaching the exciting goals we hope to achieve!
