Murph

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Speedway, IN

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

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!

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.

Nuka

American Shorthair

Male, Kitten

Indianapolis, IN

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

It was obvious from the moment I found the three brothers that this guy was the runt of the litter. His small size did not stop him from making his voice heard, and definitely did not stop him from showing just how big his heart is. Nuka has always been my favorite of the three, not because he was so tiny and adorable, but because he was the most loving and gentle of the three. Any time that I am around Nuka, if he is not preoccupied with his favorite tennis ball, he is attempting to give me kisses and purring as loud as he can. Nuka is full of love and I hope that his forever home is able to smother him in more love than he knows what to do with, because I know for a fact he deserves it. The adoption fee is to cover a preliminary vet visit that was performed when we first acquired the three brothers. They were very sick and malnourished, but now they are healthy, happy, and ready for new homes!

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

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.

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.

Phoebe

Details

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.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

She appeared in our garden, injured from what looked like a cat fight. Spent over a thousand dollars on vet bills to ensure she was healthy. Took 2 months for wounds to fully heal. We think she was an outside cat, as she does not seem to get a long with our other two cats. She tends to over eat, worried the other cats would eat her food. We now have a RFID collar feeder, so she has her own food source, and that would go with her to her new home. She needs a home with no other cats, to avoid anxiety. She is a great people cat, loves to cuddle, loves to be pet. She just needs a cat free home to be comfortable.

So he took him in his home. But my son knew he had no means to care for the cat.. So he called me and started telling me about the.. He then asked me if I could take him. I said sure.. I went and picked up the cat the next day.. My cat truly became a part of my family.. But what non of us were aware of were all the medical conditions he had and those medical issues added up QUICKLY!! And quickly putting us in debt Fast!! One of the issues were he MUST ONLY EAT WET FOODS DUE TO TEETH ISSUES.. THAT'S RIGHT THERE IS A FINANCIAL COST OF OVER $120.00 EACH MONTH..
