Story
Luna is a sweet girl and this is a very hard decision for our family. She is likely best suited in a home without multiple cats as she sometimes over eats and will need her food intake monitored. Luna loves to snuggle and she's super chill. She's happy to just relax and be snuggled!

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.

Hi, it’s Elfie. The snow has fallen. The cold is brutal. I am waiting inside a warm house; but, I am sad. Why am I still waiting? Why haven't I been picked? I have done nothing wrong. I love people. I am affectionate. I just want someone that says, “You’re mine.” I am ready to give you my love—I just need the chance. * Neutered, vaccinated, dewormed * Only $60 for a wonderful , forever companion 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.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Theo, when I was working as a vet assistant someone gave us a mom cat and 5 kittens (3 weeks old), my husband and I took them all in and got them back to good health. We have rehome all the bothers, sisters, and mom but we kept Theo for a bit longer due to his incredible personality. Sadly we will be moving and won’t have the space. We are looking for someone who is okay with having one great cat, he isn’t the best of friends with other cats. He is also FIV+ and it is transferable to other cats and with his play aggression, this a big problem. Theo has lived with 2 dogs while staying with my mom and he does get along with them and sometime play together (FIV+ will NOT affect the dog). I love this little guy a lot and would love to find someone who will love his personality and all!

Story
Lennox was recently returned to us with her brother, Lincoln, after being in her home for 5 years.  She was a little shy when she first arrived at her foster home but has come out of her shell and is very sweet    She has lived with other cats with no issues.  It’s been a number of years since she lived with dogs so that’s a bit of an unknown. Lennox loves her treats and will come running when she hears the treat bag    *Lennox is spayed, FeLV/FIV tested, vaccinated and micro chipped. * Female - 5 years old * Adopters must live within 100 miles of Florence, KY * Our adoption application can be found on our website, www.pawprintsnky.comJanuary 21, 2026, 5:01 am

Story
Taylor was hit by a car as a very young kitten and lost his leg, but he doesn’t let that hold him back! He runs, jumps, climbs and plays like any other cat, and even uses his missing leg to his advantage as he skids around corners.   Taylor is great with dogs of all sizes.  He is extremely friendly with people     He’d love to have another playful cat (one who enjoys a bit of pouncing and rough and tumble play) in his forever home    *Taylor is neutered, FeLV/FIV tested, vaccinated and micro chipped. * Male - 4 years old * The amputation does not cause him to have any special needs  *  He has been diagnosed with crystals in his urine and needs to be on prescription food for the rest of his life (Purina UR).  The prescription food (approximately $90 per month) is needed to prevent a urinary blockage. * Adopters must live within 100 miles of Florence, KY * Our adoption application can be found on our website, www.pawprintsnky.comOctober 12, 2024, 12:11 pm
