Meet Meldon — Applicant for His Forever Home

This sweet boy is officially throwing his resume out there in hopes of finding a position that truly suits him!

Meldon is a 5-year-old Rat Terrier and Chihuahua mix, and yes — his good looks and perfect size are definite bonuses. He’s confident, charming, and fully aware that he has a few “workplace quirks.” He’s a barker (and proudly so!). If you’re looking for someone to keep you informed about every delivery, squirrel, or mysterious noise outside, he’s your man.

He’s also decided that his childcare and ESA career days are behind him — Meldon much prefers to work with mature adults who appreciate loyalty and a little sass. He can coexist with cats, as long as they understand he’s the boss and respect his personal space.

Meldon’s personal life includes some impressive skills:
Potty trained (with occasional puppy pad use at night)
Crate trained, though he’s perfectly trustworthy loose in a room
Non-chewer — he’s not one to destroy belongings
Excellent car companion — he loves rides and will happily sit in the front seat or your lap
Leash pro — he enjoys his walks and time outdoors
Cuddle expert — at night, he sleeps on the bed and loves curling up on your stomach to snooze
Clean and polite — he behaves wonderfully for baths and loves his hygiene treats
Water connoisseur — he prefers drinking from his water fountain like the classy gentleman he is

Meldon can take along his crate, water fountain, food, treats, and chew toy (though he’s not much for chewing). What he really wants to take, though, is his heart full of love for his favorite human — and find someone new to give it to.

If you’re looking for a loyal, quirky, and affectionate companion who knows exactly who he is, Meldon is ready to report for duty.

If you are interested in meeting any of our babies, please complete an online application at https://kykittycats.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=6024

If you don't see pictures on Petfinder, please go to our website to view at www.kykittycats.com and we always have a waiting list that hasn't been posted yet. 

We are a super small, no kill rescue that is operating way above our capacity. We have taken in over 600 animals in 2024, and we desperately need good adopters, fosters, and sponsors to keep the doors open. 

We operate solely on donations, and we are always looking for wonderful families to join our efforts. We have dozens of felines not posted and dozens more on our waiting list. No matter what type of setting you have, if you are looking to save a feline, we can find one for you to help. It typically it cost us $60-80 to fully vet a feline and $80-120 to vet a canine depending on size and health conditions and sex.

Our PayPal and Venmo is under kykittycats@yahoo.com and our cash app is $kykittycats

All donations are much appreciated, and feel free to designate how you want them spent. If you are interested in sponsoring an animal, just list their name in the comments.

Additional adoption info

We want to encourage serious adopters to check out of great babies. We spend much time working with our felines to prepare them for their new homes. We know their personalities and likes and dislikes. In a pet store, you just don't know much about the feline. Cats are very different. We want to make sure you adopt a great forever friend.

Go meet their pets

Watch our fb page for local events and please stop by and meet our sweet babies. We also welcome visitors to meet our fosters, either in our home or in a common location.

More about this rescue

Our soul purpose for everything we do is to keep the babies from landing in the shelter. Cats just multiply so quickly, that we can’t leave any cats unspayed or all our efforts are in vain. In order to do this, we have to change the mindset of not only our community, but our region, our state, and even the states around us. There is no way to keep your area free of excess kitties, when the areas around you are posting free kitties daily. We have to join together as a state and grow in volunteer numbers, until we have the resources to control the endless breeding.
We welcome anyone and everyone to join our fight. Even if you are not local, you can still help us. We constantly need adopters, quality rescues, shares of our needs, and sadly, without money, we are extremely limited in our efforts. Truth is, very few people can spay their cats or they would have without our help.
