Calico kittens & cats in Bardstown, Kentucky

Chai is around 6 months old. She is super sweet and seems to loce affection. She does well with other cats, but we are unsure about dogs right now. She would be a purrfect companion for any family! If you would like to adopt Mocha go to www.barktownrescue.org.    CHAI'S ADOPTION FEE IS $100.The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess.    Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up.  All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in.  Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!    November 29, 2025, 8:39 am

Millie would be the perfect companion for someone who values tranquility. She was found wondering near the river and we brought her home, nursed her to health and got her updated on shots, chipped, and spayed. She’s sweet and loves cuddles, but little kids aren’t her favorite. She loves a calm environment.

Penny was abandoned by someone in our neighborhood when they moved and has been a stray for about a year. We really want to find her a good indoor home before the end of the year. We believe she may need to be an only cat or go to a home that has experience introducing adult cats to each other. We're unsure how she does with dogs. We've had her vaccinated and tested for parasites/worms and she's perfectly healthy. Probably about 3-4 years old, according to our vet. We can provide a litterbox, toys, and a cat tree. She's so sweet and has a lot of personality. She's litter box trained and laid back. Penny deserves a loving home after all she's been through.

Paprika is a very playful cat, she loves her toys and running around. She does like to play with my other cat who is older but the older cat does not like her so I can not continue to keep her as it is stressing the older cat now. She's great with kids and enjoys being pet. She likes to jump in the bath tub and run in circles in it. At one point she liked standing on my shoulder but has grown out of it. She doesn't mind being picked up but usually not for long. She's an amazing cat, she just needs someone to love her and play with her. If needed I have an automatic feeder for her and of course I can give you any of her toys or her favorite scratcher

Meet Cheddar! Cheddar was abandoned in a hotel room in May of 2022, despite multiple attempts to reach the people who left him, the hotel was never able to get in contact with them, and he has been in our care ever since. Cheddar would much prefer to be a solo cat but he does tolerate the other kitties here at TKW, he is very affectionate, sometimes moody, and quite lazy. His favorite pass-times are bird watching, napping in laundry baskets, and getting head kisses.

Meet Aspen! Aspen was transferred to TKW on 11/02/2023 from another shelter that was overrun with kittens. He arrived with his brother, Hawthorn, and sister, Juniper. While Juniper was quickly adopted, Aspen and Hawthorn has been with us ever since. Aspen is a sweet, playful, and particular boy. He loves his brother but is very particular about the humans he wants affection from. He is not only gorgeous, but also extremely soft with a very cute squeaky meow.

Summer is a shy, sweet girl who takes a while to warm up to people. She was trapped with her siblings in 2021 and has been with us ever since, with one failed adoption before she was a year old. Her shy nature has made it hard for her to get adopted, but she is very sweet and loves attention and cuddles. Her adopter needs to be someone who is patient and willing to work on her terms. Despite her shyness, Summer is a playful and goofy girl with a big personality once she warms up to you, she loves to play with her plastic spring toys and often walks around the house carrying one and meowing. She has a lot of love to give for a person patient enough to work with her.
