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.

Hi! I'm Felicia. I'm a young adult, and I was rescued from a crowded shelter that euthanizes for space. I had a bad respiratory infection and was very dehydrated. Thanks to KPA, I'm here today and looking for my forever home. I love to talk! Felicia is asking you to vote today!

Christmas time wasn’t what Saturn wanted. Instead of spending it with a forever family, she was diagnosed and being treated for wet FIP in her chest. FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) was once an incurable disease but now with proper diagnosis and a new medication , it has a good success rate. Saturn will need 84 days of daily meds. Her daily meds cost $29 and her medical work up and tests were $560. This year has been difficult in raising and covering medical costs for our felines. The number of requests for help come daily and unfortunately with the decline in funds, the number we can help has decreased🥲. We are often the feline’s last chance at life.

Every donation is greatly appreciated 💕🐾

Chickadee and Finch are siblings who were rescued from a crowded shelter. They both had eye infections at the time of rescue. KPA got them to the vet for care but the infection was so severe that they both required surgery to have an eye removed. Chickadee and Finch are bonded and need to be adopted together. Chickadee is asking you to remember to vote today!

Allie was adopted as a kitten 4+ years ago. Her humans moved and couldn’t take her to where they were moving . 😞 She would prefer to be an only pet so she can have all the love and attention! She needs a home with humans who can be patient as it takes her a bit to get used to change. Allie is asking you to remember to vote today!

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.
