Story
Luna is a sweet girl and this is a very hard decision for our family. She is likely best suited in a home without multiple cats as she sometimes over eats and will need her food intake monitored. Luna loves to snuggle and she's super chill. She's happy to just relax and be snuggled!

Story
Hi, my name is Ellie! I am ready for a new forever home. I am cute, sassy, never need a manicure (because I have no front claws). I love hammocks, toys, sitting in the sun, sitting on your lap, a warm blanket, bird watching, catching flies in the house, playing, and lots of attention. It is important to tell you that I am on prescribed food and anxiety meds. To be completely transparent with you, I am on meds because I have some litter box issues. I do better when there are no options of soft carpet or other pets competing for your attention. If you have an open heart for a girl with a little baggage, please give me a chance.

Story
ADOPTION PENDING....Katie – the quiet quirky kitty that never makes a fuss. Katie was born September 6, 2022, and is fully vetted, spayed, and front-declawed. She came to us from a hoarding situation and, well… she never quite got the memo about how to “cat” like the others. Katie is a bit of an enigma. She’s got perfect litter box manners, a soft spot for wet food (you’ll see her magically appear when she hears a can open), and a little squeaky voice that’s as funny as it is endearing. Most of the time, she’s invisible — quite literally — as she hides away in a kitchen corner cabinet she’s figured out how to open herself. She does run about at times but doesn't really like the other cats trying to play with her. She is gentle, tolerates being brushed, and has no issues with other cats, though I think she’d truly shine in a quieter home with no more than one other pet — or even better, as the queen of her own quiet kingdom. We are looking for a client who has a good history of cat ownership. Katie would be adopted out on a trial basis, and she is always welcome back home with me if it doesn’t work out. I already have 11 cats and 2 dogs, and while we’re one big happy zoo, I’d love for Katie to have a chance at a place where she can be truly seen and appreciated. She needs a home where she can get all the attention. If you think you might be the person who sees the beauty in her quirks and has the patience to let her warm up at her own pace, please contact Grace at rescue@fuse.net Thanks for considering giving this strange and wonderful girl a chance.

Story
Lennox was recently returned to us with her brother, Lincoln, after being in her home for 5 years.  She was a little shy when she first arrived at her foster home but has come out of her shell and is very sweet    She has lived with other cats with no issues.  It’s been a number of years since she lived with dogs so that’s a bit of an unknown. Lennox loves her treats and will come running when she hears the treat bag    *Lennox is spayed, FeLV/FIV tested, vaccinated and micro chipped. * Female - 5 years old * Adopters must live within 100 miles of Florence, KY * Our adoption application can be found on our website, www.pawprintsnky.comDecember 27, 2024, 11:44 am

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.comOctober 12, 2024, 12:11 pm

Story
Tweedledee - The Playful Percher Meet Tweedledee, a fun-loving kitten. with big eyes and an even bigger personality. This adventurous little guy loves being around people—whether he’s curled up in your lap or climbing your shoulder like a tiny jungle gym. He’s playful, affectionate, and the type of kitten who wants to be involved in everything. Tweedledee is a great fit for anyone looking for a sidekick for all of life’s adventures (or just someone to supervise your emails).   Tweedledum - The Cuddle Bug Tweedledum may be the lighter of the two tabby brothers, but he’s the heavyweight champion of snuggles. He plays hard, then naps harder, preferably curled up on a cozy human. He's the cuddliest of the three, with a gentle heart and a very good purr. Outgoing and sweet, Tweedledum loves toys, attention, and making friends—both feline and human. If you’re looking for a loving lap companion who still knows how to play, Tweedledum is your guy.    Alice – The Thoughtful Explorer Alice is the tiniest of the trio and the only girl, with a beautiful torbie coat and just the right splash of orange. She’s a curious and clever kitten who lets her brothers try things first, but don’t be fooled—she’s often the one starting playful wrestling matches! She's the queen of play fights and a big fan of cozy lap time after a good romp.    All three kittens are about 10 weeks old, friendly, well-socialized, and full of kitten energy. They love to play, explore, and turn anything into a toy. Whether adopted as a duo or a trio, they’ll bring endless joy and affection to their new home.  *Kittens are adopted in pairs, or into a home with a similar aged kitten*   The kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested and micro chipped.  One kitten - $125.00, Two kittens $200.00 or all three for $250.00.  Meet and greets are scheduled with an approved application, https://www.pawprintsnky.com/adoption-application.htmlOctober 25, 2025, 4:56 pm
