Kitten (3 months 22 days) · Female · Tuxedo / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Lexington

“Cute and sweet as pie”

Observant and curious

Gentle

Happy, sweet girl

More timid, slower adjusting and trusting people approaching her, nonetheless kind! Give her patience and she’ll give you her heart

Would be a great adoption as a bonded pair.

She feels more confident with Dixie around.

Positive interaction with other cats: disinterested/neutral toward adult cats but loves her playmates/siblings. Would do well with a younger cat at home.

9. Savvy

Adult (1 year 4 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Bombay / Mixed (short coat) · 15 mi from Lexington

Savvy is an affectionate, tiny lady that loves to play with toys! She is so, so sweet and comes seeking attention all the time. She likes to split her time between being your shadow and being an independent kitty that plays and naps on her own.

Savvy was rescued from an abandoned house with her three kittens. She had taken great care of them, but was worse for the wear herself. She’s been in foster care for several weeks now and is doing great! Healthy, affectionate, shy, and sweet natured. She is positive for FIV, which means her immune system is not as strong as others and she needs a calm, loving home where she can play and be happy.

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
