If you find a stray please contact your local shelter or animal control for assistance, and try other rescues. If you can afford to vaccinate and spay/neuter your stray please do so. They are more adoptable if they're "fixed and ready to go". We cannot possibly adopt our way out of the pet overpopulation problem. SPAY/NEUTER! TWO KITTENS ARE BETTER THAN ONE! One kitten can become lonely and bored, which sometimes can lead to mischief. Two kittens will never be lonely, especially if they are siblings. Often, unrelated cats often form close bonds that should be respected when adoption time comes. An older, established cat will probably accept two kittens better than one. One kitten will seek out the older cat as a playmate, and pester the senior cat which can cause stress to him. The kitten, in return, will be "rewarded" for his playful efforts with hisses and swats. Two kittens will expend their energy in play with each other, leaving their older "uncle" to relax in peace. They help each other burn off energy. Even the most devoted human caregiver can quickly become exhausted by trying to keep up with the energy of a single kitten. Two kittens will wear each other out, leaving their human parent free to just enjoy watching them. Fewer behavior problems with two kittens. Many people who experience behavior problems with kittens find that some of them go away when they adopt another playmate. What may be perceived as mischief is often just the result of boredom. Much like their human counterparts, kittens sometimes misbehave because "negative attention is better than no attention." They act as pillows for one another. Kittens will often play so hard that they simply flop where they are, and more likely than not, they will flop next to (or on top of) each other. There is no sight so endearing as two kittens curled up together for a nap. Having two kittens is insanely fun. They're just so much fun to watch and play with! They will each have a friend for life. Two kittens who grow up together will almost always be lifelong friends. Although they will sometimes have their little squabbles (what friends don't?) you will more often see them engaging in mutual grooming, playing together, and sleeping with their best pal. The main focus of Ft. Thomas Pet Adoption Program is to help the sick, injured, or underage stray cats and dogs that need some extra medical care. We urge those who have found a healthy stray to first call your local shelter and animal control so they can try to find the owner, and then to contact a traditional rescue for help. Our intake is very limited so that we can give the animals entrusted to us the very best care. If you are interested in one of our available pets, please send us an email. We will send you an adoption application. Once this is received and approved, you can expect a phone call or email shortly thereafter to set up a meeting with your new prospective family member. Ft. Thomas Pet Adoption Program
