My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there! I’m cute, right? That’s why you’re here, you thought I was cute. So let me tell you a little bit about myself because, I’m not your average kitty. My name is Scoots but my foster mom has lots of other names for me; Scooty, Scootsy, Scoot-a-toot, tootsie. I’m a smart little guy so I usually answer to all of the above.
I was brought to the shelter because I got hurt somehow. My back legs don’t work like they’re supposed to so I can’t use them. That’s how I got the name Scoots, I scoot to get around. But don’t let that fool ya! I can move pretty fast when I get the zoomies! They say I’m “different” but I don’t feel different. I get around just as well as my kitty foster brother except, I don’t get in trouble for jumping on the counter. I do have to wear a diaper though because I can’t get into the littler box very well.

I really like my doggie foster brother and sister, they’re German Shepherds but they don’t scare me! My foster kitty brother likes to play rough and I’m ok with that, I’m a tough guy. I love to show off and climb my kitty tower because, you know, I can only use my front legs, so clearly, I’m a strong boy. My favorite
toys are these little tinsel balls that I can chase after, swat like a volleyball or catch mid air. I can go down stairs easily and I’m working on going up every once in awhile. I do like to look outside and watch the birds whenever I can. I’m not one to hide very much. I like to be around everyone because I’m a curious kind of guy. 

Our house can be quiet but also quite chaotic at times and I’m pretty chill either way. I just like to witness all the action. Even though I do like to play, I don’t love to be picked up and held. I’ll sit with you on the couch though, I’m pretty good company. My foster mom says I’m also very entertaining. You should really contact Starfish to see if we would be a good fit. Hope to meet ya soon!

The adoption fee of $150.00 includes neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new cat for your family. Although we make the best guess on the breed of our cats, because they come from shelters, we can never be completely certain of the genetic makeup of the cat.  All we can tell you for sure is that they are 100% RESCUED!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees range from $50 - $450 depending on species,age and breed. For dogs/puppies this covers spay/neuter, microchip, dewormers, flea and tick preventative, heartworm test (only over 6 months of age) and all up to date, age appropriate vaccinations. Cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and dewormed. We require an adoption application and a home visit prior to adoption.

We schedule meets with approved adopters only, so you must download our PreAdoption Application from our website at www.starfishanimalrescue.com and follow the instructions to email it to us.

Go meet their pets

We are not a shelter. We are a group of pet lovers and advocates who are committed to targeted rescue. Starfish Animal Rescue is a licensed rescue that is run by an all volunteer staff.
Once we rescue a dog or cat, it is placed in one of our foster homes until we are able to find it a suitable home. We are happy to set up an appointment to meet our pets once we receive and review your completed application.

We do our best to process applications quickly but please understand that we are a foster based rescue and that our volunteers work jobs; many are full time. Sending in a completed application is the best way to facilitate this process. You can go on our website www.starfishanimalrescue.com and download an application
Once your application is reviewed, we will put you in contact with the dog's foster family to set up a time to meet the pet of your choice!
Thank you for supporting our rescue and what we are trying to accomplish in southeastern Kentucky.
