Frederick is a beautiful Flame Point Siamese mix. Frederick is a young, affectionate, loving kitty who absolutely adores attention! He’s definitely a Velcro cat and loves being close to his people. He enjoys cuddling, following you around, and even watching TV! ❤️He can be a little skittish around sudden noises and movements, so a quieter home with someone patient and loving would be ideal. He would be perfect for someone looking for a constant companion who loves affection!Unfortunately, due to allergies and realizing that our home isn’t the best fit for his needs, we’ve made the difficult decision to rehome him. We want him to have a home where he can thrive and receive all the love and attention he deserves.🐱 Neutered💉 Up to date on vaccinations❤️ Very affectionate and loving🏡 A quieter home preferred💰 $50 rehoming feeWe’re not in a rush and will be selective about where he goes.

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! Don't miss out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Story
Meet Vivi! Vivi came to us through the cat distribution system—she was a stray that walked up to me in my front yard and said “Hello! I’d like to live inside!” She is incredibly sweet and playful, and we brought her in with every intention to be her forever home. She has up to date vaccinations, has been spayed, has a microchip, and the vet estimates that she’s about 2 years old. She’s vivacious and funny with so much love to give. Among telling us how much she loves stuffed animals, fighting butterfly toys, and crunching on dry food, she also told us pretty clearly that she wants to be an only cat. Our multi-cat home is causing her distress and it’s time to find her forever family. If you want a love bug that will bring you her toy and tell you aaaall about it, Vivi is your girl. We will be fully fostering her until she finds her perfect match!

Story
We got nugget as a very small kitten and she has been a personality ever since, she is the most loving, playful cat ever she is protective so if a bag tries to get you she will go after the bag lol, since shes became an adult we cannot get anyone to clip her nails so if you know how to deal with scratchy scratchy she is petrified. She loves to personally accompany you to the bathroom kitchen and laundry room, she loves fresh out of the dryer clothes the best. She’s healthy afraid of feet, we think it stems from her as a kitten she watched her sibling get stepped on. She does not know safe play so if you have children and toddlers she doesn’t know gentle she loves to play fight and box and is obsessed with anything xxxx@xxxx.x loves the friskies chewy bite cat food haven’t seemed to get her to eat anything else but is terrified to go outside. She will love on you and cuddle you when you are stressed mad or sad but if u forget to clean her litter box she will let you know

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

Story
I acquired my pet from my ex-wife. I have not seen him much in the last few years. He is a very friendly cat with three legs. That in no way slows him down! He is used to dogs, cats, and people. I wish I could keep him, but my new wife is very allergic. He can fit into any home situation.
