Stuff We Love

May 13, 2023

Earlier this year, AC Paw founders Brian Manley and June McGrath announced their retirement after almost 30 years of incredible work saving cats and dogs across northern Michigan. AC Paw will live on, but as a spay and neuter assistance and educational program rather than as an animal shelter and adoption organization. That left a gap in the shelter needs for pets in our area, and the newly formed TC Paw Cat Rescue has stepped up. The new org was created by AC Paw volunteers who wanted to continue the mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and fostering cats and kittens until they found their forever homes. The nonprofit received its 501(c)3 status and first batch of fosters—two mama cats and 11 kittens—at the beginning of May, and the all-volunteer team is getting up and running to bring more felines into the program.
