Story
Cortlan is the best cat a girl could ever hope for. I got her in November 2022 when a friend found a litter of kittens set out on the curb. My best friend has her brother! She is a lap cat and loves to snuggle and play. She currently lives with myself, my daughter, 2 dogs, and 2 cats and does not have any significant issues with them, though she would probably take a while to warm up to any big dogs. I am moving in with my grandmother to help take care of her and she is severely allergic to cats. While my mom and sister are each taking one of my other cats, no one I know has room for Cortlan. She is the sweetest cat I have ever met and I haven’t slept alone in 4 years because of her. I love her to pieces and it is killing me to rehome her, so I want to make sure she is going to a home where she would be happy and healthy.

Story
Peaches found her way into our home this past winter. She was what seemed to be an outside cat but looked well taken care of. My family gave her food and water. Over time, we figured out that she was pregnant. We allowed her into our home to have her kittens however we aren't permitted to have pets. She has been able to give birth and raise her kittens over the last several months. We now have to part ways because of our living situation. I do not want to send her back outside in her own though.

Story
Peter's story started out a little rough. This sweet boy was a stray who was surrendered to our vet when he was having trouble walking, where it was discovered that he has a fractured pelvis. Thankfully, Peter takes his daily medication like a champ when it's tucked into a tasty Churu treat! 😻 Peter is a gentle boy who is learning that people can be pretty wonderful. He's still building confidence and becoming more comfortable around humans, so he'll need a calm, patient, and loving home where he can settle in at his own pace. He may not be the first to run up and demand attention, but with time and kindness, we're excited to see him continue to blossom. 🥹❤️ So, what does Peter's dream day look like? Lounging on a soft blanket in a sunny spot, batting around his favorite toys, and hanging out with his feline friends! ☀️🐈 He absolutely loves other cats and is even okay with active feline friends. His biggest request is simply a peaceful environment when it comes to his human companions. Peter doesn't need a busy household or someone who expects him to be instantly outgoing. He needs someone willing to give him time, respect his boundaries, and celebrate the little victories along the way. In return, you'll get to watch a sweet boy discover what it means to feel safe and loved. 🤎 If you have a calm home and a little extra patience to share, Peter could be the perfect companion for you. Sometimes the most rewarding relationships are the ones that grow slowly. 🐾 Peter is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV combo tested negative, microchipped with lifetime registration, dewormed, and flea treated.

Story
Artie is a handsome boy with the sweetest personality and an adorable little head tilt! 🥹💕 He was found outside covered in scabs and fleas, but despite his rough start, this sweet boy hasn't lost his love for people or his playful spirit. Artie is the best of both worlds! He loves playing with other cats and kittens, so there's always a furry friend to get into mischief with. But when playtime is over, he's more than happy to switch gears and soak up some affection. He'll let you hold him, climb into your lap for attention, and remind you just how sweet he is. 😻 Between his playful personality and his love for cuddles, Artie is sure to make a wonderful companion. He's ready to trade life outdoors for cozy naps, endless playtime, and a forever home where he'll always be safe and loved. ❤️🐾 Artie is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV combo tested negative, microchipped with lifetime registration, dewormed, and flea treated.

Story
Tulip and Flower are a special mother daughter duo who have become inseparable and are looking for a forever home together. 💕 Tulip was displaced by the tornadoes in Kentucky last year and gave birth to Flower and her siblings shortly afterward. A kind Samaritan cared for them until they came to us through our TNR partner, Spay Our Strays. These two are constantly cuddling, and Flower is especially attached to her mama. Tulip is the more confident of the pair and absolutely loves attention. She enjoys lounging around, getting pets, purring, and will even head butt you when you stop petting her to let you know she isn't finished yet! Flower is more reserved and takes much longer to warm up to people. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys pets, playing, and doing zoomies around the room. She also loves nothing more than curling up with her mama. At just 11 months old, Flower is still very much a teenager and has plenty of playful kitten energy. Together, they balance each other beautifully. Tulip helps Flower feel safe and confident, while Flower brings out Tulip's playful side. They can often be found snuggled together in a cozy box or lounging side by side. Tulip and Flower will need to be adopted together. They are currently fostered at Fayette Veterinary Clinic in Lexington, where you can meet this adorable pair! A patient home willing to let Flower warm up at her own pace would be the perfect fit for these two. 🥰 Tulip's estimated birthday is 9/4/24. Tulip is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, FIV/FeLV combo tested, flea treated, and dewormed.
