LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - "With bitterly cold temperatures hitting Kentucky, community advocates are working to ensure those living on the streets have a warm place to go.

"The Catholic Action Center has opened an impromptu warming shelter for single, unhoused individuals who need somewhere to go ahead of the winter storm.

"Ginny Ramsey with the Catholic Action Center said the space is the Mother Teresa Shelter, which is located toward the back of the Catholic Action Center on Goodwin Drive.

"She said this part of the building hasn’t been serving a purpose recently, so Thursday, she and other Catholic Action Center members wanted to provide this service.

Cold weather already causing injuries

"The Catholic Action Center placed several unhoused people in hotels, but Ramsey said she knows it’s impossible to get everyone taken care of.

"Ramsey said she believes this is the city’s only #WarmingShelter open for those who are currently homeless, and she’s hopeful that word will get out about it because she worries what will happen if people are out on the streets much longer.

" 'We have found so many people this week who already have damage from the cold. Some of them have already been pretty — we’ve had to take some to the hospital. We’ve had to bring some to get them warmed up, we know the damage going on out there,' Ramsey said.

"The warming shelter opened at noon Saturday and will be open until noon Tuesday."

We said a bittersweet goodbye to the #Fosterkittens today as they're ready to be fixed and adopted.

This litter was somewhat special. They had really bad upper respiratory and required bottle feeding for much of their time with us. We grew especially attached to Mr. Mayor (center), who has an unusually exuberant personality.

They'll be up for adoption soon at #LexingtonKY Humane Society: https://lexingtonhumanesociety.org/

Scroll up to see their progress since September!

Not sure how many people I know on here in #LexingtonKY , but worth a shot.

Found cat on Laredo Dr. Very friendly cat (no collar, I *think* they are declawed, they even let me rub their belly) showed up today, meowing like crazy.

We don't really have any means to take them in our house. I've texted Paws4TheCause to see if they can take the cat, and Lexington Animal Care and Control is not open on Sundays.

You can DM me if you think this is your cat, or are able to take them.

The struggle is real: trying to be productive while scrolling through TikTok in my dorm. 😅 Who else can relate?
