Story
I would say that daisy LOVES to play. She is super sweet, but is shy and will take some time to used to new surroundings. She loves having her head petted, and loves treats. She knows not to get on counters and tables. She is a very playful but shy kitty. She is getting cuddlier as she grows, but she had a traumatic start to life that makes it hard for her to trust.

Story
Fluffy is a great cat that needs more care and love than we are able to give him. He is very friendly and gets along with kids and dogs. I am unsure about other cats because he has never been around any since he was a baby. Spring of 2025 he started getting “fluffier” and we found out he has diabetes. He is healthy otherwise, so he is able to be on oral medication once a day. However between the cost of new food and medication has been hard, as well as trying to give him the love and attention he deserves.

Story
I presently have 3 cats Selene 13 years, Sally 5 years, and Jules (M) 4 years. Selene and Sally, my tripod I have had from the beginning. Selene given to me as a kitten, and Sally adopted from Louisville Metro Pet Services. Jules was taken in after his owner was killed in an auto accident and he was left to roam the subdivision as a feral. I have been trying for 7 months using a variety of techniques to try to get them to get along, but nothing has been successful, I even bought Jackson Galaxy’s book and tried all the techniques he suggested with no success. I have finally reached the point where Jackson describes where one cat just hates the other cats face. Jules managed to get around a gate and attacked Selene, blood was drawn, and Sally was terrified. So now Jules is going to have to go despite how loving and affectionate he is with me. I can’t have my house divided and this issue happening again. Jules needs a good home, please help save him.

Story
We've had loki for about 5 years, since he was a kitten, we got him while he we lived in shepherdsville. He's a very affectionate cat, definitely a people person and a lap cat. We have 2 other cats and a dog, he gets along well with them, no issues there. He's been a good cat, but since we've had kids we think the kids stress him out and it's caused some behavioral issues. We definitely think he would do well in a home without young kids. Since he's very much a people cat, I think he would do well as a solo cat or with other cats. He kinda keeps to himself, but he will play with the other cats from time to time.
