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
Ellie was a shelter kitty, adopted in 2020. She is now 6 years old. She is chunky, sassy, and affectionate. Ellie loves to play, watch birds in her hammock and gets zoomies sporadically. Ellie is also front de-clawed, so she must be strictly indoors at all times. Ellie is currently on prescribed medicine and food by the vet for anxiety and IBS. We are updating her posting because we can attest her medical issues are currently being managed with these tools but she has to be kept separate from one of our other animals due to behavioral marking because the other pet is stressing her out. She never had the issues before this new pet and does not have the issues now that they are separated, but long term that is difficult for us to manage. We feel that we owe it to Ellie to try and find a low-stress forever home with either no other pets or very laid back pets would be a better environment. Please help us find Ellie a good home.

Story
ADOPTION PENDING....Katie – the quiet quirky kitty that never makes a fuss. Katie was born September 6, 2022, and is fully vetted, spayed, and front-declawed. She came to us from a hoarding situation and, well… she never quite got the memo about how to “cat” like the others. Katie is a bit of an enigma. She’s got perfect litter box manners, a soft spot for wet food (you’ll see her magically appear when she hears a can open), and a little squeaky voice that’s as funny as it is endearing. Most of the time, she’s invisible — quite literally — as she hides away in a kitchen corner cabinet she’s figured out how to open herself. She does run about at times but doesn't really like the other cats trying to play with her. She is gentle, tolerates being brushed, and has no issues with other cats, though I think she’d truly shine in a quieter home with no more than one other pet — or even better, as the queen of her own quiet kingdom. We are looking for a client who has a good history of cat ownership. Katie would be adopted out on a trial basis, and she is always welcome back home with me if it doesn’t work out. I already have 11 cats and 2 dogs, and while we’re one big happy zoo, I’d love for Katie to have a chance at a place where she can be truly seen and appreciated. She needs a home where she can get all the attention. If you think you might be the person who sees the beauty in her quirks and has the patience to let her warm up at her own pace, please contact Grace at rescue@fuse.net Thanks for considering giving this strange and wonderful girl a chance.

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.comDecember 27, 2024, 11:44 am

Story
This is Kiki, he is 20 years old. My mother passed away in may, I have been feeding and taking care of him . He is still up at my parents house . Along with a partially Ferrell cat that had been hanging around for a few years. Which I also feed. The house is being sold. I am trying to find a new home for both of them. He is a sweet cat. He just doesn’t groom himself like he used to. He had matted fur on his sides, which came off. Thats why his fur looks a little funny. When it grows all back out He is beautiful . He also has a cream I put on his eyes. I just want him to live out what years he has left. I dont want to take them to the shelter.

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
