We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding! ❤️

Skoozy is now partially sponsored thanks to her amazing foster!

Happy World Cat Day from Leitchfield Animal Shelter!

What better way to celebrate our feline friends than by helping three sweet, playful kittens find their forever families? Meet Skoozy, Sander, and Sylvia.
- Skoozy – 5-month-old female
- Sander – 4-month-old male
- Sylvia – 4-month-old female

All three of these cuties are currently in loving foster homes, which means they are already getting used to home life, cuddles, and plenty of playtime.

How to Meet & Adopt: Because they are currently in foster care rather than at the shelter, submit an adoption application at the shelter, 213 William Thomason Byway.

Once your application is reviewed and approved, our team will contact you directly to schedule a private meet-and-greet day.

Give one (or two!) of these sweet kittens the best World Cat Day gift ever: a loving forever home. Please like, comment, and share to help them get adopted!
