Fill out an Online Adoption Application!   A Big Ask for Two Big Boys Gus and Dude have made one thing very clear — they are bonded brothers. And as much as it breaks our hearts, we simply cannot split them apart.They arrived at a local shelter just 5 days ago, and the stress is already showing. They’re confused. They don’t understand what they did wrong. They only know that everything familiar is gone… except each other.Gus and Dude are 4-year-old, well-mannered boys with great house habits. They enjoy going inside and outside when it’s safe and the weather is nice, and they are truly just gentle, easygoing companions. Their biggest request? Please let us stay together.Bonded adoptions are hard.Bonded adult cat adoptions are even harder.And right now, we have three bonded pairs depending on us.These boys are going to need a BIG save — and that’s where you come in.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonjour! Je m'appelle Jacques. You might be expecting my last name to be Cousteau, but do I look like I want to go for a swim? No, my family name is Black, Jacques Black. Pleased to meet you. I'm the French cousin of American comedic actor Jack Black, of course! I have a history that is a story for another day, but let's just say I came within a hair's breadth of not being here today. I'm in my very first foster home and my humans keep picking me up and calling me "a cute little man." They say that I am "shaped like a child-size bowling ball." Quelle horreur!  D'accord... I might actually like being held. I'll admit it. J'aime les autres chats. J'ADORE. (If you don't speak French, that means I LOVE other cats. I specialize in head boops. Does your current cat need a head boop? Do your dogs need a head boop? Does your child need a head boop? Do your legs need a head boop? I can assist. I specialize in making friends with grumpy cats. I can sometimes be a tiny bit shy, but I just need to assess the situation. Being in my first foster home has been fantastique for my confidence. I also don't personally know any dogs, but my current humans think I have the potential to form inter-species friendships. Estimated DOB:   03/29/2025 Adoption fee: $70 (6% KY sales tax included)  We would love to hear from you! To inquire about this cat, please contact us via this site, visit our website sc4paws.org to see a full bio, or visit sc4paws.rescuegroups.org/forms/ to fill out our adoption application. Important: Our cats reside in foster homes. Please fill out our adoption application if you would like to meet one of these special kitties!

Story
🐈🧶Adopt Vinny🧶🐈 📍Located in Louisville Kentucky Vinny is an adorable buff kitten born on September 1st. He’s neutered up to date on vaccines and growing into the sweetest little guy! Vinny loves to play and explore, but he’s also a sensitive boy who enjoys gentle affection and a calm environment when it’s time to wind down. Vinny requires a home with a feline companion. He cannot go to a home as an only kitty. If you’re looking for a playful yet tender-hearted companion, Vinny might just be your perfect match! Vinny will be adopted out as an indoor non-declawed cat only. If interested in adopting Vinny please visit our website and submit a cat application! www.bluegrassdobermanrescue.org
