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
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.

Story
**Sporty & Patrick** Sporty and Patrick have been waiting far too long for their forever home. Sporty has been with us for over a year, while Patrick has been waiting nearly a year, and somewhere along the way, these two shy kitties became best friends. Now, we can't imagine them going anywhere without each other. ❤️ Patrick is the more confident and social of the pair. He loves toys, Churu treats, and getting attention from his favorite people. He has come an incredible way since arriving as a shy, hissy kitten after a TNR appointment. Now, he will stand on his back legs to ask his foster mom for pets, and he starts purring the moment she picks him up. Sporty is more reserved and takes longer to warm up to people. She loves gentle chin scratches and, most importantly, Churu treats. She has come a long way too, but her favorite source of confidence is Patrick. She will chirp and excitedly run over to him, and the two can often be found snuggled up together. Patrick is her little best friend, and having him by her side helps Sporty feel safe and comfortable. These two have such a sweet bond. Patrick brings out Sporty's playful and affectionate side, while Sporty is never far from her best buddy. They love to snuggle, play, and simply hang out together. Sporty and Patrick will need to be adopted together into a patient home that will give Sporty time to come out of her shell. If you're looking for a pair of kitties who already have a special friendship and want to give two long term residents the forever home they've been waiting for, these two could be the perfect match. 🥰 Patrick is neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV tested negative, and microchipped with lifetime registration. His estimated birthday is 6/11/25.

Story
Violet came to us as a TNR kitty, but after all the trials and tribulations she faced outdoors, she lucked out and is now getting to enjoy a plush life as an indoor girl. 💜 Violet is currently fostered in our cat room, where she does wonderfully with the other cats. She has even been spotted playing with some of the kittens! She is still learning that people can be pretty great too, and while she is gaining confidence every day, she isn't quite sure about human affection just yet. We believe that with time, patience, and a little encouragement, Violet may learn to enjoy pets and the attention that comes with being someone's beloved companion. Of course, she may also decide that her preferred role is simply to be a beautiful ornamental cat who occasionally graces you with her presence. 😂 Violet would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a feline friend for their current cat. If you're happy to let her blossom at her own pace and don't need a cat who demands attention, Violet might be the perfect addition to your home. 💜 Every cat in our rescue is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped with lifetime registration, FIV/FeLV combo tested negative unless otherwise noted, dewormed, and flea treated before adoption.
