Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Online Adoption Application!   Timber came into one of our local shelters. Dilute torties are such good choices if you are looking for a devoted friend. They often have less dander, but that changes per kitty of course. Timber is a sophisticated gal who just may be judging you... but she is really wanting to find her the right family to love her and give her a forever home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  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.

Story
Hi there! We’re a tiny herd of deer—Roe (that’s me!), Rein, Fallow, Elk, Moose, and Caribou—and we’re looking for our forever homes. We may be small, but we’re full of sweetness. When we’re not tumbling over each other in a game of chase, you’ll find us curled up in one big cozy pile, purring ourselves to sleep. We love people, we love each other, and we’re ready to bring that same gentle, playful energy into a new family. If you’re looking for affectionate cuddle buddies with a dash of woodland charm, we can’t wait to meet you. Could we be the perfect addition to your family? Give our friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about us or to schedule an appointment to meet us!
