Kentucky Pets Alive

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.

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 ma

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.

Dean was rescued with his brother Samfrom the euthanasia list at a crowded shelter. They both had severe eye infections and, unfortunately, both had an eye that ruptured and required surgery. But missing an eye has not slowed them down. Dean and Sam are bonded and need to be adopted together. Dean is asking you to remember to vote today!

Everyone at Kentucky Pets Alive wishes all of our great village of volunteers and supporters a โ€œHappy Thanksgiving โ€œ!
We have been blessed to have saved many sick and injured felines this year. We have also been blessed with another opportunity to make the food trip and obtain prescription food and litter for our special needs felines. This trip literally saves us hundreds of dollars as most of the prescription food is $75-$120 per bag. If you are wanting to help with this upcoming โ€œfeastโ€, all donations will help feed and care for many of our felines,

No donation is too small and is greatly appreciated ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ

Pax and Eira are a brother and sister sibling pair that came to KPA as kittens and have grown into adults. They are bonded and need to be adopted together. Pax has lots of energy and loves to play. His sister Eira is more reserved. She came to us with a severe eye infection that has been treated. While she has a scar on her eye she is able to see. She keeps up with her bother when he has the โ€œzoomiesโ€. They groom each other and snuggle together in a big cat bed for naps too! Pax & Eira are asking you to vote today!

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.

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.
