Walk-in hours are the purrfect opportunity to visit adoptable cats and kittens. We house many of our adoptable cats and kittens at our primary location, but some pets are placed in a foster home while they look for their forever home. If you have questions about adopting a new pet from KAR, our staff and volunteers will be happy to answer them for you while you’re here.
Before visiting, please note:

All of our dogs and puppies are in foster homes, not housed at our facility. To meet our adoptable canines, please submit an adoption application to schedule a “meet and greet” or watch our Facebook page for information about upcoming adoption events.
Donations are gratefully accepted during these walk-in hours. View our wish lists here.

Your returnable bottles and cans can help us save animals! We collect bottles and cans year-round to help bring in a recurring source of funds to support our programs. Your empties = full bellies, medical care, and warm beds – and all you have to do is come drop them off!

Please note: we can only accept bottles and cans eligible for a 10-cent deposit rebate under Michigan’s Bottle Deposit Law. Visit FAQs section on the Bottles and Cans page to find out if your cans are returnable.
Important note: We ask that you please do not leave bottles/cans outside of the storage unit outside of drop-off hours. If you cannot make it to drop-off hours, you may bring your donations to our shelter during our walk-in hours. View the walk-in hours schedule here.
Bottle and Can Drop-Off events may be affected by inclement weather. Follow us on Facebook for updates!
