My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you're looking for a playful, talkative, dog friendly, affectionate lap cat and you don't have other cats, or your other cats are felvies then Mink is your boy. FeLV is a virus exclusive to cats, that compromises their immune system's ability to fend off various illnesses. While FeLV-positive cats can lead long and healthy lives in a nurturing environment, staying current on vaccinations and receiving proper nutrition is essential.

In the past, a positive FeLV test often led to the euthanasia of perfectly healthy cats due to concerns about contagion. However, recent research indicates that FeLV may not be as contagious as once feared and vaccines against FeLV are better than ever. Luckily conventional wisdom is gradually catching up with today's scientific understanding. It's now considered best practice to find homes for our Friendly Felvy kitties rather than euthanize.

Mink is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. This beautiful black kitty with the white spot on his chest is hopeful that there's someone out there with a big enough heart to give him a loving home. Is that you?

Submit Application

We get many inquiries, so a submitted application is the quickest way to move to the next steps. An approved application is even better!

Interview

You may be contacted if we have further questions after reviewing your application. This usually happens over the phone or by text.

Visit Carmel's Pawz Pet Cafe or Petco off 116th & Keystone! And we have even more at fosters' houses. Contact us to arrange a meeting.

A POMH volunteer will initiate the checkout process using a program called Shelterluv. This is where you review the Adoption Contract.

Additional adoption info

• Once you get settled (it takes time!), we encourage you to keep in touch. Nothing brings us more joy than to hear adoption success stories, and we would love to share those on our website/social media for others to enjoy too.
• We try to assist post-adoption the best we can. We remain available to give advice and/or point you to the right resources.

**Do NOT call Petco, please contact us directly.**

Go meet their pets

We always have many available cats up for adoption. There are tons in Carmel at Pawz Pet Cafe and there are always several in the Petco Adoption Room off 116th & Keystone. Since we are a foster-based rescue, many are with a foster, but don't hesitate to contact us.

Meetings can be arranged to meet the kitty of your dreams! We also bring in more groups of cats and kittens to Petco every Saturday from 12-4pm. Come meet our furry friends, wonderful volunteers, and head Cat Rescue Lady, Martha Strong.

Our cats are all spayed/neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on their FVRCP (distemper) vaccines, and given general de-wormer. Most of our cats are FeLV/FIV tested, and rabies shots are given to most cats over 3 months old.

More about this rescue

We are a Federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit feline rescue group established in 2018. We work in many Indiana counties, including Hamilton, Marion, Delaware, and many places in between. We run on 100% volunteers and donations.

Our Mission:
To rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home cats and kittens in need. We aim to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering in order to create a community that values the well-being of all cats. And even if we can't help directly, we utilize our contacts and various resources to assist to the best of our ability.

Our Values:
- We are a no-kill rescue. We believe that every cat deserves a chance at life. We do all we can to rehabilitate even the most troubled cats and place them somewhere they can live their best lives.
- We do NOT support or allow declawing of our cats. We sometimes rescue cats that have previously been declawed and may consider placing them with a family that prefers a declaw.
- We require our adoptees to be indoor cats for their safety and well-being.

Our adoption application includes our rescue's terms and policies. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Our Vision:
A society free from the challenges of feline overpopulation, and where responsible pet ownership is second nature. We seek a world where the public is well-informed on animal matters in order to provide the best care for their furry companions.
