Foster Laura Wasz When seven kittens were brought to me from a backyard feral cat community, at 3 months old, they had never been handled by people except when they were captured and taken away from their mothers. They had traveled in a large carrier in the back of a car for three hours. It was obvious that they were tired, hungry, thirsty and frightened. I had a small room ready for them with food, water and places to hide. When they had rested I began to get to know them. Tiny as they were, they were each quick to defend themselves with hissing and squirming when I gently picked them up to introduce myself. Young as they were, they knew how to use their sharp little claws and teeth. After days of coaxing and soft petting of cheeks and necks like Mama cat would do, they began to trust me. As I handled them, each personality was revealed and I couldn't resist naming them. View full description »

Chief

Chief Black Male Young Louisville, Ky Adoptions Adoption Fee: $100.00 plus 6% Sales Tax (Includes: Microchip/spay/Combo Test/FVRCP/Rabies/Fecal Worming) Chief is a sleek, totally black, male kitten. He got his name because he showed himself to be the leader, calm and un-afraid. He immediately enjoyed petting and quickly began to purr. He is gentle and responds to attention eagerly with happy rubs. If interested in Chief please email cats@shamrockpets.com. Foster Laura Wasz When seven kittens were brought to me from a backyard feral cat community, at 3 months old, they had never been handled by people except when they were captured and taken away from their mothers. They had traveled in a large carrier in the back of a car for three hours. It was obvious that they were tired, hungry, thirsty and frightened. I had a small room ready for them with food, water and places to hide. When they had rested I began to get to know them. Tiny as they were, they were each quick to defend themselves with hissing and squirming when I gently picked them up to introduce myself. Young as they were, they knew how to use their sharp little claws and teeth. After days of coaxing and soft petting of cheeks and necks like Mama cat would do, they began to trust me. As I handled them, each personality was revealed and I couldn't resist naming them. View full description »

Boots

Boots is an 18 year old kitty in need of a loving home. Boots has a sibling, Emmy, and they are okay together, but are not bonded and would be fine to adopt separately. They are healthy and were very loved, but sadly, their human has passed and there is no one that can keep them. They are affectionate elder kitties, can you give them a comforting home? Boots is the Alpha and was most pampered by his owner. He is chatty and likes pets - to a point, likes to sleep on the bed or get in your lap if you obey his commands :) Emmy is shy but affectionate and loves to get pets. They have only had minimal interactions with children and dogs. They would be fine adopted separately as Emmy would probably love to be someone's only cat and Boots would love to be the center of attention wherever he goes! If interested in adopting these sweet seniors contact cats@shamrockpets.com Contact person Amy. View full description »

Celine

Femaile Domestic Short Hair app 2 Years Old Very Sweet Local Louisville Adoptions Adoption Fee: $100.00 plus 6% Sales Tax (Our cats are combo tested/microchipped/spayed/neutered/fvrcp and rabies/fecal and worming When a young woman reached out to help a cat who was living in a shallow box (not moving or eating) in the frigid weather, she was very honest with us. She had her own life challenges that prohibited her from doing much. But she was determined to help save the cat who seemed to be slipping away before her eyes. The poor kitty was suffering from hypothermia, dehydration, and malnourishment. Shamrock got the call and sprang into action to save this sweet girl. One of our volunteers dropped everything to get her and transport her. She was named Celine and was taken to Hopewell Animal Hospital where she was brought back from the brink of death. After a stay in the hospital she was brought to her temporary foster. After a couple of weeks she went to her main foster. She's been through so much but has been a real trooper through all of the changes. She's the sweetest lap cat, but can be extremely feisty while she's adjusting to a new environment. She's very affectionate, and she's quite talkative when she wants something. She seems to have a distaste for other kitties, so needs to be an only cat, but she's the only cat you'll need. She'd likely do best with an experienced cat owner. She's definitely best friend material. If you have any questions about weet Celine contact Kay at 502-424-8383 (text preferred) View full description »

Ali Parker

Ms. Ali Parker kitty is such a lucky girl. She has come a long way since March 2022 when she was rescued from an enclosed underground parking garage existing on scraps and random feedings from building residents. So glad someone called for help!! Ali Parker is now acclimated to how life should be. She still likes to greet you with a hiss sometimes, its just her way of talking. She is great with other cats and really loves to watch in wonder at the antics of the foster kittens that share her space. She's still a young lass, and while she likes to hang nearby, she's content to keep her personal space. She likes to petted when she eats, but is not a lap cat, perhaps with time and someone that can give her her due attention. I believe she would prefer a home with adults and other cats - small kids are probably not her scene. She would be a great studio/shop/warehouse companion. Associated volunteer Amy.
