My story

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

Looking for an amazing and friendly adult cat?  STOP SCROLLING RIGHT NOW!  Akela may just be the perfect cat for you.  This approximately one year old lady is the sweetest girl!  She's friendly and affectionate, but also playful and funny.  She has raised her last litter of kittens in our care and she cannot wait to have a home of her own where she doesn't have to be a mama and she just get to be a cat!  

You can check out www.facebook.com/kittenville.il where her foster mom has documented her time in foster care. There are more videos and photos posted of the cats posted there. 

Interested in meeting Akela? All our cats are in foster homes as we do not have a facility where people can come and meet the cats at any time. The first step is to complete our online application at the link below. Once we have an approved application we can set up an appointment for you to meet them.

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.
