Pet of the Week: Eros!
4 1/2 years old, neutered male, pit bull mix, weighs 63 lbs

Eros would like you to witness his dramatic portrayal of "The Last Thing A Treat Sees" in four parts:

Part 1 - The ✨Perfect✨ Sit
Part 2 - So Focused His Ears Disappeared
Part 3 - Release the Kraken!
Part 4 - ANOTHER! (Please, Am Sitting So Good)

Eros is an extremely handsome boy with impeccable sitting skills and a ray-of-sunshine personality! He's a big, strong fella who can look tough (obviously not all the time, as these photos prove), but he's just a big softie at heart. Eros adores human friends and human attention, and we must admit, he's pretty easy to adore himself! He's an energetic goofball with a heart of gold and no idea he isn't the "traditional" build for a lap dog.

Eros is already house trained and very (VERY) treat motivated, which will help you teach him all kinds of new tricks. He doesn't love other dogs and wants to be the only canine baby in his home. If you could use a good-vibes-only goober on your sofa, give us a call at (859) 873-5491 for an appointment to meet him!

Pet of the Week: Gumdrop!
2 1/2 years old, spayed female, brown tabby and white markings, short hair

Yeah yeah, it's kitten season...but you know what that means?! It's Mama Season too! Gumdrop is one of many sweet ladies who have arrived here pregnant or with tiny babies this summer, and while the babies tend to go home quickly, their moms wait a lot longer. So this right here is a Mama Cat Appreciation Post - and Gumdrop is the star!

Gumdrop is one of those cats who has kind of a serious face, but don't worry, in person she is deeply unserious! Gumdrop is a spunky young lady who absolutely adores human attention. She can be a little bit bossy with other cats, but with some time to settle she does ok - and we're gonna give her a pass, because she was the boss of 5 adorable hooligan kittens for her first 2 months here, so that's probably her default mode. But honestly, she would be perfectly happy as an only cat.

If you're looking for a feline friend who will keep herself entertained while you're away at work and then keep you entertained (and well-snuggled) when you're ready to chill at the end of the day, Gumdrop is up for the job! Give us a call at (859) 873-5491 for an appointment to meet her.

Pet of the Week: Molly! AKA Meemaw
8 1/2 years old, spayed female, heeler mix, weighs 60 lbs

Molly's just looking for a place to retire and to be honest she would make a great roommate. Quiet, respectful, does her own thing, nods politely when you pass in the hallway and then ignores you 90% of the time. We know that's not what everybody's looking for in a dog, and that's probably why Molly has been here 8 months already. But there's gotta be someone out there who wants to help an older gal hit her retirement stride, right? Right?

We're pretty sure Molly (we mostly call her Meemaw) spent her younger years just kinda by herself on a farm; she was obviously well fed (no shame!) but just isn't all that accustomed to having human companionship, and she doesn't seek it out unless she needs some reassurance. Even when she knows you and is fairly comfortable, she can be pretty aloof. She's always done everything for herself, she's not gonna start asking for help now.

Molly doesn't want a house with kids, or other dogs. Or lots of hugs. She just wants someone to contentedly exist beside. One or two people she can get to know, and cozy place to lounge, and a good routine with plenty of sniffs in the yard. And perhaps a generous treat allotment - this is the best way to win her over. In return she will be quietly grateful, and mostly stay out of your way. She may get to be more of a snuggle bug with time, but she may not. That may just not be who she is. But she's already house trained, she's pretty low-energy, and she's undemanding.

She needs somebody who's ready to meet her where she is and embrace her independent personality.

If you can help our resident Meemaw out, we want to hear from you! Call (859) 873-5491 to find out more about Molly and make an appointment to meet her.

Pet of the Week: Clove!
15 weeks old, neutered male, gray tabby and white markings, short hair

Can you even believe how cute this little guy is?! And he's definitely little - Clove's siblings have all outgrown him, so this fella may end up on the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee when he's all grown up...only time will tell! Clove is a super sweet, outgoing kitten who loves to check out a new visitor and make a new friend. He's as playful as they come, and willing to improvise; a lone kibble that rolls around in his food bowl is a toy, so are your shoelaces, so is a little bit of light coming through the window and moving on the wall, you get the picture. Clove has grown up surrounded by lots of kittens, and he would do great in a multi-cat home...especially if the other cats want to play with him as much as he wants to play with them!

If you've been thinking about adopting a kitten, now is the perfect time: we currently have 58 kittens in care and more than 2 dozen of those are already fixed and ready to go home. So give us a call at 859.873.5491 and make an appointment to meet Clove and his many, many, MANY kitten peers!
