Her personality is shining through, and she’s proven herself to be a total cuddle bug.Little One is a gentle, well-rounded kitty who gets along beautifully with cats, dogs, kids, and even seniors. She truly just needs a family to love her.When you adopt, you’re not only giving Little One the home she deserves—you’re also making room for the next cat in need. Every kitty that comes through our rescue is fully vetted and never has to face homelessness or life on the streets again.Please don’t shop “free kittens” on Facebook thinking you’re saving a life—most of those moms will never be fixed, and the cycle continues.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Online Adoption Application!   Helen is the last baby of a semi friendly mom left to breed out of control. Sadly, due to inbreeding and lack of resources, Helen has been born with limited hearing. She will need an adopter that will make sure she stays indoors and that has a fairly safe home. Now on top of this, she has developed stomatitis. We are trying a new treatment on her that is a bit pricy and runs for 84 days. So while her hearing doesn't require anything additional, she may need follow up care for teeth. Hopefully this treatment will help us avoid that.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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Online Adoption Application!   Yo-Yo came to us with her name — and honestly, it couldn’t fit her better. This poor girl wasn’t fixed in her home, and there were a lot of cat fights going on. She was even put outside just before the big freeze.Yo-Yo made it to us just in time to be spayed before becoming a momma herself. It’s taken a little time to learn what she wants, but we do know she doesn’t really care for other animals. In her foster home she actually seems to like the kids better than the adults.One thing is for sure — Yo-Yo will probably bounce around in what she wants for a little while longer until she feels settled and truly safe.Not every rescue cat wants other animals — Yo-Yo just wants people.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.
