Antler Alert! It's peak deer-collision season in Kentucky.
Nearly half of all car accidents involving deer occur in the last three months of the year, according to the cabinet.

Deer mating season takes place from mid-October to November, and deer tend to be more active during that time period.

Crop harvesting, shorter days and colder nights also increase the tendency for deer to roam.

More than 3,200 highway crashes involving collisions with deer occurred in Kentucky last year, the highest total number in the last five years according to KYTC.

We are running VERY low on canned pate wet food along with kitten dry food as well!

We currently have several litters of kitties that rely on kitten dry and canned pate wet food, multiple times a day. Giving them pate wet food daily helps them gain weight, continue learning to eat solids, and help them get closer to being ready for adoption (these cuties aren’t available yet!)

Please consider shopping today at Amazon (any brand is appreciated!) at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/114OU7PCAAUPQ?ref_=wl_share
