You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold.

If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact. Anchovy is about a year old as of May 2025. His situation is a bit complicated, and he's spent most of his life in rescue. He was trapped as an older kitten with the intent of socializing for adoption. Unfortunately, his foster was unable to spend the time required to work with him, so he either needed to go back outside or be moved to a different foster. Cold weather was already here, so the decision was made to move him to a different foster. He's still quite fearful, but is very motivated by food. He leans in for pets, purrs, and is generally relaxed when he's eating. He may never become a lap cat. He may have to go live in a barn. At this point, we aren't sure, but he's spent enough time here. If you are either an incredible person who wants to give this boy a home despite his fear, or if you have a very safe ship, barn, etc, please apply here! safehousepets.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Nova is an adorable little black kitten, born approx Oct 2024.  She came into her foster home terrified of people.  She has come a very long way.  She loves to play with her toys and climb up her cat tree.  She lives to be pet but is still a bit timid and is shy of new people.  With more love she will understand that nobody is going to hurt her.  She would flourish in a house with another confident, friendly cat or kitten to help show her how great it is to be loved by people.  She might be okay with a calm, disinterested dog and older kids, but would do best in a quiet house as she does get nervous of loud noises.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is sponsored for our Home for the Holidays promotion To adopt Nova, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 31, 2025, 10:50 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lefty is a very sweet young girl (DOB approx Sept 2024).  She is a gorgeous medium haired black kitty with a slight head tilt to the left.  The vet who checked her out at the shelter noted possible cerebellar hypoplasia but otherwise she is healthy and gets around just fine.  Cerebellar Hypoplasia causes issues with balance and coordination but is not contagious and they can live healthy, normal lives.  And her slight head tilt doesn't slow her down at all.  While she is a little shy at first she warms up quickly and LOVES attention.  She loves playing with other cats and is bonded to her sister, Lira, and they will need to be adopted as a pair.  She also doesn't mind the dogs in her foster home and will probably be fine with kids who are a little older and calmer.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
