Meet: Turtle! She's not only the cutest, but the coolest, too. Turtle was a stray who was taken in by a good Samaritan while she was pregnant. Her babies have all found their forever homes, now it's Turtle's turn! She's a curious and outgoing cat who loves attention. She would be open to a home with resident pets already as long as she can have slow introductions! Turtle is just an all-around good gal; she's fun, affectionate, silly, and super sweet. She's really excited to find her forever family. Give Woodford Humane Society a call at 859-873-5491 to schedule an appointment to meet Turtle or with any questions! *She also wanted us to tell you that she loves head scratches and requires them in her new home. Her words, not ours. Primary Color: Torbie Weight: 9.2 Age: 1yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
Hey! I'm Franny! I'm a sweet and sassy girl looking for a home to call my own! When I first arrived at the Humane Society, I was really shy! All the sounds and smells really overwhelmed me. As time went on, I slowly started gaining my confidence. I started asking for attention more and more... I'm pretty much the CEO of this place now! I might be described as having "cat"titude by some, but regardless, everyone can agree that I am the cutest one here. Okay, well, there are some other cute kitties, I guess (the humans told me I had to be nice and add this part). But let's focus the attention back to yours truly. I'm a princess in my own right and my own right is that I would prefer to not live in a home with other furry creatures. I am a very sweet and affectionate kitty, so to have all of the attention to myself would be superb! I would love a home where I can sit by the window in the sunshine and watch the birds. And maybe the mailman, neighbors, squirrels, school bus... Hey, someone's gotta keep an eye on things! Oh, and if you weren't already head over heels in love with me already, I have been told I am the queen of head tilts. It doesn't get much cuter than that! Wow, I just described myself as a queen and princess all in one writeup! Seriously, I'm like, the coolest. If you want to add a silly and spicy bestie like me to your life, give 859-873-5491 to schedule an appointment to meet me or with any questions!

Story
* BONDED WITH BRUCE *Pistachio is a sweetheart on the search for his forever home! He arrived here with his siblings, who have all since gone home! It's his turn now! He's extremely easy-going, silly, curious and just overall the best. He's been in a room with other cats here, and fell madly into a bromance with his bestie, Bruce, pretty quickly! He & Bruce can be found hanging out, playing, cuddling, and even grooming each other. They both are open to a home with other cats, but Bruce is quite frankly not a fan of canines, so a home without dogs is ideal. Pistachio's ideal home would be one with lots of space to look out the window, LOTS of toys, and one where he can get all the lovin' he deserves. If you have room in your heart (and your home) for these sweet babies, give Woodford Humane Society a call at 859-873-5491 to schedule an appointment to meet me or with any questions!

Story
This is Lilly and she truly is the cutest of cute and sweetest of sweet. She was pretty nervous when she arrived, but has warmed up more and more each day! She has become quite the social butterfly and enjoys rubbing up against your leg to get attention. She's an absolute sweetheart and has lived with cats previously, so she would be open to a home with furry friends already there! She would be a purrfect movie watching partner or book-club buddy. She would loveeee to watch birds out the window or even perch over the living room on a cat tree! Lilly would love to be your new bestie, and if the feeling is mutual, give Woodford Humane Society at 859-873-5491 to schedule an appointment to meet her or with any questions!
