Story
Meet Julieta — professional wallflower, part-time statue, full-time tiny drama queen. Julieta graduated from our *Last Litter Program* and has officially decided that the outdoors is canceled. Grass? Suspicious. Wind? Rude. Birds? Absolutely not. She has submitted a formal complaint and would like to live inside forever, thank you very much. She is **super shy** and believes in strong personal boundaries. Her hobbies include: * Hiding like a champion * Judging you silently from a safe distance * Accepting exactly 3–7 pets before filing a formal hiss * Allowing brief, limited-edition 20-second snuggle sessions (timer not included) Think of her like a limited-release collectible: low availability, high value, handle gently. Julieta is looking for a calm, patient human who understands that trust takes time, snacks help, and love sometimes comes with sound effects. Once she decides you’re acceptable staff, you’ll earn the greatest reward of all — her choosing to sit near you voluntarily. No sudden moves. No loud parties. No nonsense. Just quiet vibes, cozy spots, and someone who appreciates a shy girl with a big heart and a tiny hiss. **Adopt Julieta — because every introvert deserves a soft place to land.** 🐾

Story
Hi… my name is Sugar. I am a beautiful Tabico...Tabby/Calico mix...we are known in some cultures as a "lucky" cat to have in the home. I’m 11 months old, and just like my name, I’m very sweet. I am a social girl with a big heart and so much love to give. I don’t just want a house — I’m longing for my person, my forever home, the place where I can finally settle in and feel chosen. I dream about sunny windows, soft blankets, and someone who talks to me like I belong… because I do. I’m already spayed, up to date on all my shots, and dewormed — all ready to start our life together. All that’s missing is you. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will love you fully and faithfully, please come meet me. I promise to bring warmth, comfort, and a little extra sweetness into your world. To adopt, visit the FACEBOOK page" Saving lives one at a time in Northern Kentucky " or you can send an email to rescue@fuse.net with your name and phone number and we will have Tracy Simpson from that rescue group contact you. If you can’t adopt, sharing might be what finally brings our person to us.
