I acquired her from IACS. She is a lovely cat but she was raised in multiple foster houses with numerous other pets, and is really struggling in my household without any furry friends. I'd love to find her a permanent household with other cats to keep her company.

Cecil

American Shorthair

Male, Kitten

Indianapolis, IN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Found on the mean streets of Indianapolis alongside his two brothers, Cecil has been the leader of the pack from day one. Ever since we found him, Cecil has captured our hearts with his gentle playfulness, and assertive demeanor. Despite this, Cecil has also remained the most calm and well mannered of the three, which is why adopting this guy out has been harder than we could have ever imagined. He has shown a high degree of intelligence for a cat his age, and continues to surprise and delight us as he continues to develop his personality. His latest development is that he has become quite the cuddle bug, and insists on being held every chance he can get. We hope that his forever home provides him with as much love as he has shown us. The adoption fee is to cover a single vet visit that was made when we first rescued him and his brothers.

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I got her when I was 18 years old from a friend whose cat had kittens. She is very sweet and cuddly, and curious. She will be three in February. I want her to go to a home without other pets, or at least no other cats as she doesn’t tend to get along with other cats. She was the only pet in the house for a majority of her early life so she still has issues getting along with others. She is very low maintenance, but requires many litter boxes that are always clean.

Story

This guy came to our garage door appx 1 month ago when the weather was getting colder. We asked our neighbors if they were missing a cat. I've posted him on Indy's Lost pet alert, Facebook and Neighborhood ap and no one has claimed him. With the weather being so cold, we've been keeping him in our heated garage but we can't keep him. He does get along with our other cat and dog. I'm asking for the adoption to mainly to recoup what we spent on food and litter while "fostering" him. He is such a sweet little guy, loves to snuggle, loves to "make biscuits" all the time :) I would love to keep him but we can't do two cats plus our dog. He is not fixed and I really don't know his vaccine status. He would make a great gift!

Fluffy

American Shorthair

Female, Kitten

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Fluffy is a young, fully-grown cat, around 6 months old. She was a stray we took in about a month ago and is now searching for a loving forever home. Fluffy does okay with other cats and dogs but would likely thrive in a home without young children, as she’s a bit skittish. She’ll need a patient adopter who can give her the time and gentle care she needs to adjust to her new environment. With love and understanding, Fluffy has the potential to become a wonderful and devoted companion.

Story

My mama was a stray that was dropped off at a farm when her family must have gotten tired of her. Well, at least she was taken to a place where they knew this rescue. We were born inside and have been loved and cared for since we were born. Boy, are we playful and fun. We love to chase balls that crunch and feather toys. I would love to be part of a family. I hope you will come to visit me and take me home with you. If you want to apply to adopt me, here is a link https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH/Cat

Story

Hello, I'm Queenie Belle. I'm an independent lady with a curious spirit. I love exploring new nooks and crannies, sniffing out hidden treasures. When I'm not on an adventure, I enjoy lounging around, basking in the peaceful quiet. I'm not one to cling, but I do appreciate a good chin scratch every now and then. I'm self-sufficient, but I still crave companionship. I'm looking for a forever home where I can continue my explorations and share my discoveries. With me, every day will be a new adventure. Adopt Queenie Belle, and let the adventure begin.

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Phoebe was born August 5th 2023. She enjoys boxes, high places, looking out of windows, and napping on people’s laps. She’s very vocal and energetic. She also enjoys chicken, turkey, and cheese as treats, but isn’t a fan of fruits. She doesn’t get along well with my chihuahua but she’d probably get along well with a more relaxed dog. Phoebe would do well with someone who has had or has other cats and/or someone who can help her get some of her energy out so she’s not bored.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Helpful Hannah is a playful and curious cat just over a year old, with a special talent for "helping" with sewing and craft projects. Whether it's batting at thread or cozying up in the middle of a project, she's always ready to lend a paw. With her friendly personality and love for being involved, Hannah is the perfect crafting companion. However, Hannah may do best as the only kitty helper in the house. She can be aggressive with other cats and enjoys her own space.

Neville

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Neville was adopted at around 8 weeks old and the owners neglected him outside. We rescued him shortly after that. He is very shy and wants to be at least 1 arm’s length away at all times. He spends a lot of time hiding unless of course he is ready for food! He comes as a package deal, we rescued his lovable, cuddly brother Lupin at the same time. We love the cats, but we adopted them in 2019 (pandemic kittens). Since then we have grown our family to 4 kids. They are both ok with the babies, not mean at all, just don’t really care for them. Looking for a lovable home for him and his brother (Lupin)!
