I'm Khaki and I'm such a cute little girl with ears that stay a little flat. That doesn't mean I'm mad! I was just made that way! Me and my sisters came from a barn in Elwood IN! I am a professional biscuit maker and love to suckle my fleece blanky. I love pets and baby talk too! I would love a forever home and if you would let my skitzy sister, Spicie, come with me that would be a bonus! Let me know what your heart says! I've been waiting almost a year for my people to find us!

I'm Spicie but I'm not really spicey, I'm just a timid girl that was caught from a barn in Elwood IN. My sisters got scooped up a week or two earlier and I was left all alone out there! I have been hanging with my sister, Khaki, for almost the last year waiting for our people to find us. I wonder if you could give me a chance to just live in your home and also take my great sis Khaki as a bonus! That would mean so much to us!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Please meet Sunny! He was found on a very cold day last January covered in fleas and completely emaciated. He was so thankful for food in his belly and a warm place to sleep that he purred nonstop for days! Sunny was adopted in February and through no fault of his own, he was recently returned to Paws on my Heart Rescue. After several months of lavish meals and a pampered indoor life, Sunny is now a healthy almost 20 pound kitty! He can get playful with the laser pointer, however, he is mostly over the kitten craziness. He loves to look outside in between naps and snacks. It's hard to know exactly how old Sunny is, but our guess is 4-7 years old. He does well with dogs and kids that respect his space. He has impeccable little box skills. Sunny is so very loved at his foster home, but he is so very deserving of his forever home. Sunny is positive for feline leukemia, so he will need to go to a home without other kitties or a home with another feline positive kitty.

Story
I was left outside to fend for myself. I had an abcess on my neck and I didn't feel very good when I was rescued. It is now healed up and I am a pretty happy, healthy guy. I really like guys. Everyone that sees me says that I am a "cool" cat. I love head rubs and people pick me up and hold me like a baby. I don't want to be messed with all the time, but I do love attention. I am playful but not crazy. So, if you are looking for a really neat cat, here I am. If you want to adopt me, here is a link to apply https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH-A-1376

Story
We took in Murph as a favor to a friend who couldn’t keep him anymore. We didn’t intend to keep him as long as we have. He has been great with our two little kids (6 yo, 3yo) and likes to wrestle and play chase with our Blue-healer. He can be shy around new people but when he warms up, he can be very affectionate. The reason we are needing to rehome Murph is that our 14 year old Husky doesn’t do well with cats. We have tried for a couple years at this point to make it work thinking that as both animals got older and used to each other, they would get along. We were wrong. Unfortunately, we feel it is not safe for Murph and it is unfair to both pets to have to be constantly segregated in the house or heavily supervised. We will be sad to see him go but we feel it’s in the best interest for everyone. Please consider taking in Murph! He would be a great addition to your home!
