Story
ADOPT NOW! Please don't scroll by...She doesn't need another tomorrow in rescue. She needs someone to say, "Welcome home." Nine years old? Let's put that in perspective... She doesn't stay out past midnight. She won't climb your curtains. She already has a PhD in Napping. Pip has traded kitten mischief for world-class cuddling, quiet companionship, and unconditional love. Don't pass up the best years of her life... they might just become the best years of yours. Age is just a number. Love is forever. Totally vetted and only Adoption fee: $50 She is being fostered by @Saving lives one at a time in Northern Kentucky but email Grace Wilson at rescue@fuse.net and we will put you in touch with Tracy Simpson the adoption coordinator! Don't miss out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Story
Wow...this kitty has it all !!!!!!!! ADOPT NOW! Please don't scroll by...He doesn't need another tomorrow in rescue. He needs someone to say, "Welcome home." He is only 5 years. Cats regularly live 15-20 years, which means you could have numerous years of cuddles, purrs, and happy mornings ahead. He is already house-trained, past the crazy kitten stage, and knows exactly how to love. Choose the cat who already knows how to be your best friend. Love is forever. Totally vetted and only Adoption fee: $50 He is being fostered by @Saving lives one at a time in Northern Kentucky but email Grace Wilson at rescue@fuse.net and we will put you in touch with Tracy Simpson the adoption coordinator!

Story
Minnie ( white) and Chi- chi (Tortoiseshell) are 3 yrs old from the same litter and have been strictly inside cats their whole life. They have never been to the veterinarian, but their parents have been fixed and tested for FIV, test was negative. Minnie is flea sensitive and must be flea free or she will over groom. She has some scarring from a previous flea infestation. They are parasite free and treated with Revolt. They need to be spayed. Minnie is a rumpy riser mixed Manx. Chi- chi is a rumpy mixed Manx. It is imperative that they do not breed as only manx with tails have a more favorable outcome. I would like for them to be adopted together because they are bonded. They have a price tag because I want serious, responsable inquiries only. I feed them purina salmon complete for sensitive stomach. They have no issues with this type of feed.

Story
Downy is a loving pet that is GREAT with small children. She is not great with other Female cats but is fine with other male cats. Her birthday is August 9th so she’s just under a year old. She is not spayed. She’s a little skittish from time to time but she is super loving when she warms up.

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.comMarch 16, 2026, 12:18 am
