😻Thank you to our adopters this week! We are still helping to place kitties from the flooding and from several area shelters who have reached out!

🐈‍⬛We have a NEW cat location! We will have Scott County Humane Society cats and kittens at the Feeders Pet Supply on Harrodsburg Rd in Lexington! This is a huge store just inside New Circle by the Staples and Home Depot. 🙏🏼 Come see Baldwin, Lucy, and Catriona this week!

🐈Central Purrk Cat Cafe is open TODAY from 11-7 and through the weekend. Come grab a boba tea and snuggle the kitties.

🐈‍⬛🐶We also have cats at the Georgetown PetSense and Feeders Supply and will be back at the Hamburg Petsmart this weekend with both cats & dogs!

🍫 not 🐣🐰 for Easter!

🏡We have a real, adult rabbit and two male guinea pigs who would love a permanent home!

With Easter on its way, please think twice before getting a live animal for your child’s Easter basket! Many parents believe that raising a duckling can be a fun learning experience for a child, and that it can end with dropping the animal off at the nearest lake when it gets bigger. It’s unfortunately not that simple.

Ducks sold as pets are domesticated animals, just like cats, dogs, or cattle. They don’t have the same survival skills as their wild counterparts and can’t forage, migrate, or avoid predators. You (hopefully!) wouldn’t get your child a puppy and then dump it at the park when it gets older, so please don’t do that to a duck.

Unless you’re prepared for a lifelong commitment to a new pet, skip the live bunnies, chicks, and ducklings, and opt for chocolate instead.

🐾We could not take such excellent care of the many animals at Scott County Humane Society without our volunteers! Every month we highlight one of our special volunteers – someone who donates their heart and time to the animals in our area who need it most. This month we are celebrating Laura Beth Gordon our March 2025 Volunteer of the Month!

😻Laura Beth grew up in Shelbyville and had no animals during her childhood. She was inspired to volunteer at Scott County Humane Society so she could help with cats in need. She bags food for our community food bank and when she is finished with that she loves giving the cats special attention. She says her favorite thing to do is” love on” the cats. While there, she also enjoys talking with the staff.

🩵Laura currently lives here in Georgetown at Quest Farm. She enjoys cooking and helping those around her and also volunteers at the Amen House.

🙏🏼We are so blessed to have so many wonderful volunteers like Laura Beth, but we can always use more help! Laura Beth, your commitment makes a difference and we value you! There are so many animals in our community that need us, and we could not do this work without our incredible volunteers. We thank them for all they do.

📲If you would like to get involved and share your time with our loving animals, call Scott County Humane Society or at 502-863-3279, or complete your volunteer application at www.sc4paws.org.

👏🏼Congratulations again to our March 2025 Volunteer of the Month, Laura Beth Gordon! Your selfless commitment to continue with Scott County Humane Society as a volunteer is truly incredible. You are appreciated! Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

🐾Can you lend a paw? We need a few folks to help cover for our dog fosters during spring trips. We have an urgent need for March 5-16. This is a great way to help your Scott County Humane Society over a short time commitment. Call or email our office with questions or to volunteer! 🐶 Thank you!!

Gertie is a super sweet spunky lady who LOVES churro treats. She likes to give head boops, but can be picky about who she likes. Come meet her in our cat room and see if she’s the sweet tabby for you!

Gertie’s adoption fee has been sponsored, so there is no charge to adopt her (based on an approved application)! 🙏🏼

🙏🏼❄️Thank you to our neighbors for helping to reproduce our office sign after it crashed to smithereens in the last ice storm.

💕We wrapped up the season of LOVE with lots of cats getting into their forever homes!

☕️Congrats to for seeing two longer-term residents, Pippa and Estella, find adopters! Sometimes it takes them awhile to get settled and show their stuff! 😽

🌊We were happy to see some of our “double rescues” find homes. We’ve been supporting flooded area shelters & rescues by taking available cats. Many have already found loving homes and more are on the way! Thank you, Central Kentucky!! 🙏🏼

❄️ It looks like another crazy weather week. Stop by our office when you can or browse animals online at sc4paws.org. We will be back out at PetSmart this weekend!
