Kentucky Kitty Cats

This sweet boy reminds me so much of a boy named Kirby ( Clyde). He was left to make it alone on the streets, but luckily we had a spot for him thanks to some leaving last week. Chatty Charlie is now totally vetted and waiting for his forever family to come take him home!

So we have had 3 people step up for help on our trapping goals in Muhlenberg!!! We will take that! We are hoping we can talk one of them to be our trap king and coordinate the area! It’s not well known, but kkc is basically running with 6 very thinly stretched volunteers. We have 4-5 more that help us all they can. And keep in mind, 3 of these 6 work full time! Jennifer Bowles keeps our doors open litterally time after time! Jennifer Wickliffe is doing way over 40 hours a week and Jennifer Brandie and Abbie are working 5-6 days a week. All 3 have driving hours in addition. Brandie has to manage the sanctuary and Abbie is trying managing OC Under Dawgs again unpaid as well. Cindy is out from driving and Ronda is back working at school. That leaves almost all medical to Susie and I. Add on BG transports and food trips and the cats here and at Rosine, and we just are long past available hours in a day! But what we know in our hearts is, spay and neuter and TNR ARE NOT OPTIONAL! If anyone has a desire to help Muhlenberg be kinder to cats, now is the time to get involved. The first thing you can do to help is follow the page and interact with it. If it’s not showing on your wall, please search for it and comment or like something on a regular basis. We need people to set up pop up events in town and educate others. So many misconceptions float around always. We need traps and carriers and used is fine. And we can pay for them if you see them cheap. There are ways to be involved without ever touching or driving a cat. You can’t hate cats and still help. After all, if we are successful, there won’t be cats in your yard marking your plants any more. They won’t be on roads getting hit. They won’t even be on your fb sites looking for homes. Please step up and join us! Even if you volunteers 2-3 hours a month, you would be making a huge difference!

If you want to save a kitten, the first step is to get the fleas off without getting the kitten cold. You must dry them throughly. Use a heating pad or warming pillow once dry to keep their body temperature up. The fleas can kill a kitten this size in days.

Visiting Butler County Animal Shelter this morning when these four adorable boys came in for help. They wouldn’t have made it much longer — covered in fleas, bloated, and weak. But thanks to an amazing new foster who said yes, they now have a real chance! 💕They’ll return to FOBCAS when they’re big enough to be neutered, and the family is even trap-training mom so she can be TNR’d.This is what it takes to make a difference — teamwork, compassion, and action. Love seeing it all come together! 🐾

Day 2 of the True Rescue Ultimate Cat Conference! 🐾

Our hearts ache every time natural disasters strike, and hearing the heartbreaking stories from the Tennessee floods has been especially tough. It’s devastating to see our neighbors suffer — people who work tirelessly day and night just to keep these cats fed and alive.

If only more people would spay and neuter, so many of these cats wouldn’t be struggling to survive in large outdoor clowders. This year has truly been the hardest kitten season we’ve faced since COVID. Across our region, there are still places with 30–40 cats waiting for help — and we’re trying our best to get to them all.

Being here surrounded by like-minded people is such a blessing. Sharing ideas and inspiration reminds us why we keep pushing forward, even when it feels overwhelming. The struggle is the same everywhere — California, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, and beyond — hundreds of cats on waiting lists every single day and never enough space.

Together, we’ll keep fighting for them. 💪💖

While Polish Hounds aren’t exactly common in the U.S.—and definitely not something we’ve seen in Ohio County—we’ve got a girl who could pass for one! Jesse has the look and the personality of a true hound whether it be Coonhound or Bloodhound.

Polish Hounds are known for being smart, loyal, and affectionate with their families. They’ve got that signature deep hound bark, a curious nose that loves to explore, and plenty of playful energy. Jesse checks a lot of those boxes!

She’s under a year old, which makes this the perfect age to start her training and give her the foundation she needs. Jesse came to us after outgrowing her previous family’s expectations. Sadly, it’s a story we hear often—larger dogs can be harder to place, but that doesn’t make them any less deserving.

We’re glad she’s here now, because this is the best time to help her transition into her forever home before she officially grows into adulthood. Jesse is ready to shine for the right family who will love her for the big, beautiful girl she’s becoming.

What to expect from a classic scent hound…

• Temperament: Loyal, gentle, and affectionate with their families. They tend to bond strongly and enjoy being part of daily life. (This Is why now Is thr time for Jesse to find her human.)
• Energy Level: Moderate to high. They need regular exercise, both physical and mental, to stay happy — walks, playtime, and scent games are perfect. (Jesse jumps at first, but once she’s allowed to get her energy out, she calms right down.)
• Nose-Driven: Like many hounds, they love to follow scents. This makes them adventurous but also means they should always be in a secure yard or on a leash. (Jesse already does pretty good on the leash.)
• Trainability: Intelligent but independent. They respond well to consistent, positive training but may show a stubborn streak. (Jesse Is young snd seems eager to please.)
• With Kids and Pets: Typically good with children and other dogs if socialized early. Their gentle nature makes them good family companions. (Jesse loves kids.)
• Size: Medium to large, sturdy, and athletic — they need space to move comfortably. (Jesse still may grow more, so definitely large.)

And just like that, we have gathered in 2 tiny ones, 3 around 4-5 months old, and 3 adults, not counting the little boy with leg issues in foster care! Plus we got such a sweet boy yesterday that will need a leg amputation. All from Ohio County. The place where it has been free to fix your cats for most of this year. Luckily we fixed the 3 adults in spring of 2024. We tried to fix all at the house but the human decided he wanted to leave some outside ones having babies. 😿 so many elderly won’t let their cats be fixed. And the moms and babies suffer over and over and over again!
