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.
(223)

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.

Meadow is an adult cat who was surrendered to a crowded shelter that euthanizes for space. The stress of being abandoned and the chaos of the shelter caused her to chew off her tail. Thankfully, KPA got her the medical care she needed. She is healed and more than ready for a family that will give her a forever home. Meadow is asking you to vote today!

Shannon is 11yrs old. She was adopted out as an adult at seven years old. Recently, she was returned as her person had to move to a place that did not accept pets. Shannon would do best as an only pet. She loves to be brushed and is affectionate and lives to snuggle. Shannon is asking you to remember to vote today!

Caspar needs donations this medical $5 Friday🩻🩺

After being adopted as a kitten, Caspar and his sister Shadow were returned a couple months later due to “being too much”. After attending a recent adoption event, both returned to their foster home. Yesterday Caspar developed sudden onset of respiratory distress and was rushed to the vet. He was placed in oxygen and X-rays confirmed pneumonia in both lungs. He is receiving two antibiotics and breathing treatments. This love bug is fighting for his life. This emergency hospitalization was definitely not in our budget, as we have outstanding medical bills already but the only other option wasn’t a choice as he wants a chance for a true forever home.

Please consider a donation to help Caspar. His initial estimate is $1800 and depending on the length of time in oxygen tent and hospitalization that could increase. #
No donation is too small and is greatly appreciated 💕🐾

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

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://forms.wix.com/r/7283518561950106299

***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.
Although you will not receive a notification that your submission went through, it has, and someone will be in contact with you shortly.***

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 “zoomies”. 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. 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.
