Kentucky Pets Alive

Since 2008, KPA has been committed to animal rescue and our mission statement: Every Life Matters. The mission of saving some but not all was not our mission.
(117)

intain the no kill status for 6 years by providing the following programs: foster care, microchips for every animal adopted, collars and leashes for transported animals, medical care/supplies to sick and injured, the operation and funding of an inhouse spay/neuter clinic, offsite adoption sites/events and volunteers to assist with the physical/emotional care of the animals. During these six years, over 10,000 animals left the shelter alive. In August 2014, Shelby County No Kill Mission and the Shelby County Animal Shelter went separate ways. We changed our name but not our mission. Our new name, Kentucky Pets Alive, continues to reflect our mission: Every Life Matters. We will assist animals throughout Kentucky as our volunteer and support base accommodates.

This is what donations towards medical care can accomplish! These two girls would not be here today if it wasn’t for donations and a dedicated rescue and medical team. Agnes has two eyes and is gaining weight and will be discharged soon! Nova’s feeding tube has been removed and she hasn’t met a food she doesn’t like. She has been discharged from the hospital and is being pampered in a medical foster.

If you would like to see more transformations and lives saved, PLEASE consider a donation. Our outstanding medical bills will be keeping us at a very limited intake.

Cecily is an adorable young girl. She is a CH cat with a bobtail. CH stands for Cerebellar Hypoplasia. This is a neurological condition that causes jerky movements, tremors, and generally uncoordinated motion, just like ataxic cerebral palsy in humans. CH in cats is non-progressive, meaning it does not get worse with age. Although I trip and fall over sometimes, I'm still able to live my life as a normal cat!

This $5 Friday we are feeling frustrated and extremely sad. This time of year, shelters and rescues are beyond capacity with pregnant cats and litters upon litters of kittens. Most enter these crowded shelters without any medical care or vaccines. Stress, crowding and unvaccinated are a perfect opportunity for panleukopenia. This is highly contagious and can wipe out an entire rescue or shelter. This is why quarantining and vaccines are imperative. This Friday, we have a litter who is already minus one due to this horrible disease. Despite aggressive medical care, Kinder died. Momma Godiva, Nestle, Toby & Guylian remain hospitalized. We weren’t expecting this large added medical expense when we committed to rescuing them from euthanasia and we are already on limited intake due to a very large outstanding medical bill. We are literally begging for everyone of our followers to donate $5 this Medical $5 Friday to help this family and those that might not have the opportunity for rescue in the near future.

****PLEASE READ**** All animals in this album ARE AVAILABLE for adoption. This album is updated daily.

Some of our cats are available to view at the PetSmart adoption center, while others are in foster homes and are available to meet upon approval. Visitors are limited within the PetSmart adoption center, and PetSmart staff are not able to open the cages of the animals in the center. We thank you for understanding, and we are willing to work with you to pick the right companion animal.

We ask that you get pre-approved for adoption by completing our application here--->https://www.kypetsalive.org/adoptionapp

***PLEASE ONLY FILL OUT ONE APPLICATION (even if you are interested in multiple cats/kittens). You can list multiple cats/kittens on the same application. Filling out multiple applications will only slow the process as each one must be processed individually.

Please help Monty and the ones who may need help in the upcoming days😿

Looking at Monty is difficult even for the veterinarian team and medical foster. Monty was found in a cemetery on a grave. He was matted, had fleas and was very thin. This sweet senior is FIV +, has hyperthyroidism, is severely malnourished, and had infected tooth. Monty is a Maine C**n, a large breed which weighs 15-22 pounds. He weighs 7.7 # 😿 Monty is on prescription food like Nyla and so many of our other medical cases. Prescription food is EXPENSIVE! Monty”s medical bills are mounting and our outstanding bill has reached a point where we will be making difficult decisions about future medical cases.

We have several that are still in the hospital. Nova our little miracle girl is doing better and may be released to a medical foster soon. Nova’s bill is over 2K. Agnes, McAlister and Maxwell are still hospitalized. Maxwell had BOTH hips repaired and is getting laser and PT daily. His bill is estimated at 2K. Falkor and Xia have completed their 84 days of FIP treatment ($5k for meds plus hospitalization) and have completed bloodwork and ultrasounds and are now in the 84 observation period.

PLEASE consider a donation to help these cats and kittens that others wouldn’t help. We are totally volunteer operated without any support from the big national groups or your tax dollars.

Sometimes sisters aren’t from the same mother. Annona and Mayflower were from different litters but quickly realized they needed to be together. After waiting a few months, they are now fulfilling their dreams together in a forever home. Congrats girls! Thanks Samantha for keeping the girls together and Welcome to the Kentucky Pets Alive family!

07/25/2024

This is a courtesy post. This is Sammy. She is 8yrs old. She is looking for a new forever home as one of the humans in her current home is highly allergic to cats. She is good with dogs, kids and adults. But she would prefer to be the only kitty in the home. If you are interested send a pm to Kentucky Pets Alive and we can get you in contact with her current family.

Remember Clover the tiny kitten who was hit by a car and had a diaphragmatic hernia, broken ribs and pelvis and a degloved tail? Remember Saul who was left on the motor box of the gate at a county shelter severely dehydrated with intestines hanging out his re**um? This picture is why we do what we do! They were adopted TOGETHER this weekend! They bonded while both were fighting for their lives in the hospital and continued their recovery journey together in their medical foster home. Now they will spend the rest of their lives together in a forever home!💕💕 Thanks Brittany for keeping them together and Welcome to the Kentucky Pets Alive family!

LOOK WHO took her first bites of food in greater than 10 days! Our Director was visiting Nova at the hospital yesterday and witnessed these first bites! We are beyond grateful and ask that you control send prayers, positive energy and donations as Nova is not out of the woods yet and her medical bills continue to climb. No donation is too small.

Without your support, Nova and so many others wouldn’t have the opportunity at life!

Any donations are much appreciated!

Urgent Medical Needs😿🐾
Nova came to a county shelter as a normal sweet feline. Fast forward 10 days, she was critically ill. Medical care wasn’t helping and we were asked to attempt to save her. We were her only chance at life. A feeding tube was placed to assist with nutrition. Nova continued to decline and the decision to operate was made. Nova’s gallbladder was hard/infected and her uterus had a mummified kitten and infection. Both were removed. Nova is fighting for her life and remains in intensive care. As long as she fights, we will too. Nova deserves a chance - please help with her medical and surgical bills which are now over 2K.

Any donations are much appreciated!

Urgent Medical Needs😿🐾
This is what happens when your Medical Director goes to do a rescue spay neuter clinic…. The text that states “they need us. They have no one”
Agnes is a young one who is seriously ill. She presented delivering stillborn kittens and her eye status is questionable. Monty was found on a grave in a cemetery. 😪 This senior is very thin, matted, is FIV .+ and had an infected tooth that required immediate extraction. Henley is just a baby. He has a serious eye infection. While these felines vary in age, all were extremely lucky to leave with our medical director at the end of the clinic day. They are all now in the hospital and receiving aggressive medical care and lots of TLC. We desperately need help with their medical expenses as well as our ongoing medical and outstanding medical expenses. Please help thes
We are literally drowning with outstanding medical already and looking to check in for a meal and a safe bed. Paul is a special boy as he was born without upper eyelids and will need quality of life.

Paul was found at a correctional facility looking to check in for a meal and a safe bed. Paul is a special boy as he was born without upper eyelids and will need surgery soon. He is an awesome kitten and doesn’t know a stranger. Jamie Lee has a brachial cleft cyst and a hernia. The hernia was repaired yesterday and we are awaiting consultation about plans for management of the cyst. Maxwell has had trauma to his hips and is in pain. He will be undergoing an FHO ( femoral head oblation ) to alleviate his pain and have an improved quality of life.

Any donations are much appreciated!

We need our supporters’ help! Read this message and SHARE it anywhere you can. Everything is so expensive, and everyone is feeling the pinch these days. Animal rescues like KPA are no exception. In a world where it often feels like there’s more bad news than good, we’re so thankful we have something positive to share. A generous individual has stepped up to MATCH our donations between now and the end of February up to $5,000! We are drowning in medical debt, so receiving the full match for a total donation amount of $10,000 would be huge for the animals in our care.

🐾💕$5 Friday to help Rian continue his rehabilitation 💕🐾 Rian was shot and paralyzed. He has had the bullet, bullet fragments, hair and bone fragments removed. His spine has been stabilized. He is receiving laser treatments and has had 3 acupuncture treatments. He is trying so hard and getting stronger. He really needs continued acupuncture treatments to help repair the signal pathways and improve his coordination especially in his left leg. This has been very beneficial for previously paralyzed cats like Ebba, Elisha, Kian and Gideon. An acupuncture session costs $120 The sad truth is there are very few rescues that will take on challenging feline medical cases as they involve often long recuperation/recovery, medical fosters and large medical costs. Many do not get a chance. We give these felines a chance thanks to supporters and donations! We truly appreciate all who continue to donate and support our mission and giving these sick/injured/homeless ones a chance. If everyone of our followers gave $5 we would be able to pay for several sessions for Rian as well as help with our large outstanding medical bills, current needs and save many others! Please skip your coffee or breakfast sandwich and help Rian he has come so far!

Meet Treena!

Some cats love meeting new people at our monthly adoption events, but for others, these outings can be very scary :( Treena is a ~2-year-old female who gets overlooked time and time again because she falls into this latter group. Treena is an absolute love bug at home with her foster humans. She fills her days looking out the window, napping in laps, and playing! She is such a sweetie and would make the perfect companion for someone with no other animals in the home. Please consider giving cats who often get passed over like Treena a chance at their happily ever after! <3 To fill out an application for Treena, click here: https://www.kypetsalive.org/adoptionapp

WOW!! Check out Gideon! This is the poor cat that was shot in the back with a BB gun. Thanks to donations, he had surgery and is making daily progress!

🐾🎉🎉🐾 $5 Friday for Lucius 🐾🎉🎉🐾 This week, we said "yes" to helping another cat in need. Say hello to handsome Lucius. Lucius is a young, unaltered male cat, and we're told he was thrown out by his human because he was "spraying," a problem that is almost always resolved after a male cat has been fixed. Lucius, who we believe has never been outside previously, hasn't been doing well with his harsh, new reality. Lucius faced below-freezing temperatures before we rescued him, a dehydrated, emaciated, and scared little soul. 😢 Yet, even though his has been through so much, he's such a lover. He's a talkative friendly, boy who loves making biscuits and headbutting, and he'll get to know more love than he can imagine while he heals and awaits the day he can be adopted. ❤ Please skip your coffee or breakfast sandwich and donate to help cats like Lucius who end up with us when they are neglected, unwanted, and abandoned.

Our Story

Kentucky Pets Alive is a volunteer based 501c(3) organization that was originally formed in August 2008 as Shelby County No Kill Mission of Kentucky, Inc. with the mission to save all adoptable animals at The Shelby County Animal Shelter , which was an open admission municipal shelter until July 2014. We assisted the shelter in becoming the first no kill community shelter in Kentucky and helped maintain the no kill status for 6 years by providing the following programs: foster care, microchips for every animal adopted, collars and leashes for transported animals, medical care/supplies to sick and injured, the operation and funding of an in-house spay/neuter clinic, offsite adoption sites/events and volunteers to assist with the physical/emotional care of the animals. During these six years, over 10,000 animals left the shelter alive. In August 2014, Shelby County No Kill Mission and the Shelby County Animal Shelter went separate ways. The mission of saving some but not all was not aligned with our mission. We changed our name but not our mission. Our new name, Kentucky Pets Alive, continues to reflect our mission: Every Life Matters. We continue to assist the animals in Shelby County, but we are also assisting other counties who are actively striving to save all adoptable pets. We are now assisting Jefferson, Anderson and Davies counties. As our volunteer and support base grows, so will our areas of assistance.
