Story
Hello! I'm Ash, a 3 yr. old fella who came into this world to explore it, have fun, play, eat treats and run back to you to tell you my stories. Be warned: I can talk your ear off, but then, that talk also reveals a singularly smart guy. A friendly, calm guy, I might add, who is also a patient listener. Though I like people a lot, I am not a fan of other cats, preferring to be your one and only. Stop by and let's get acquainted!

Story
What the heck! I'm not alone in wondering why I'm still here....staff and volunteers are puzzled too! I'm H.E.R., a friendly, upbeat gal with a winning personality. I love to rub my head on hands, faces and arms. I don't know if it is because I am FIV positive that makes folks reluctant to give me a home, but it really isn't that big a deal. I'm told I'm a genuinely happy cat who will make any home a happy place. Now that's hard to beat. So come in and adopt me, please!!

Story
Lily is a very shy little girl.  She loves to lounge on the cat tree in the sun and she is always chasing a toy.  She is the most shy of her siblings and while she loves to play and explore, the kids and dogs are too much for her so she would do best in a home with no dogs, and older kids.  She doesn't like being held or cuddled but she does sleep at the foot of the bed at night with her foster mom and dad and during movie night she is usually on the back of the couch with the family.  She does love to be in the same room as her people, but not cuddling with them.  She loves to have her chin scratched but is wary of hands over her head.  She absolutely loves the other cats in her foster home and needs to be adopted into a home with another cat.  She would prefer no dogs, although would tolerate a disinterested dog.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccine, micro chipped, and her fecal and FELV/FIV test were all negative.  Her adoption fee is $100 To adopt Lily go to www.kakf.org and fill out an applicationApril 28, 2024, 10:10 pm

Story
Wrenly is such an amazing little girl.  She is a little over a year now.  She had her kittens and was such a great mom to her 5 little kids.  She is so sweet and very social, she has yet to find someone she doesn't like.  She loves all the pets and will let you know with her amazing purr.  She tends to be a little bossy so she would do best as an only cat, although she does very well with her son, Wilbur, who is still waiting for a home as well.  She doesn't care for dogs and tends to growl and chase them and she is a little obsessed with the birds in her foster home so she would be perfect as an only pet.  She is great with kids of all ages.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $125 To adopt Wrenly email us at kakf3133@gmail.comApril 28, 2024, 10:10 pm
