Story

Kitty is a male, adult cat, 5 yrs old. He was a rescue from the street (possibly feral) when he was less than one year old. He's black on his back, tail, legs and head, but has white boots and white fur on his neck and belly. Kitty is between 18 and 21 pounds. Kitty has responded well to training and is house-trained (we don't have a litter box). He asks to go out when he needs to and is fairly reliable about no messes. Kitty has also been trained to stay off the kitchen counters, sofas, tables and beds, unless specifically invited to get up on a lap. He seeks out attention after his am feed and evenings. We've had occasional issues with biting. We've introduced more playtime with stuffed mice in the morning to redirect his play biting/scratching, which seems to be working. We would not recommend adoption to a home with smaller children. He sleeps on his own bed on the living room floor for good part of the day and night, but usually wants to go out early morning.

Story

A few years ago I adopted a Onyx from the Indianapolis Animal Care Services. Onyx was the most social cat there and instantly clicked with us. When we first got her she was about 3 years old, making her around 5 years old now. She has tolerated my three children and will let her pet them as long as they are being gentle and moving cautiously. She does not tolerate other cats. She would do best in a home with adults or older children, even a senior. She loves cuddles and is very vocal for a cat. She likes her treats and will beg you for them. She does not like wearing collars and has been a strictly indoor cat. Nor does she enjoy being brushed. She has all her claws. She likes to sit in windows, a cat tower would be good for her. Her favorite toy is a laser. Onyx needs to go to the vet; she has some skin issues and is losing fur. I have been unable to afford to take her to the vet, and am moving in with people who have cat allergies so I am unable to keep her.

Story

Gus is a cuddler and sweet. He will lay on your lap and purr. We adopted Gus in 2021. He was 11 then. He has had health challenges over the last 24 months. We have had him tested and changed his diet however we still have not been able to resolve his health challenge. We are foster parents with multiple children and have concerns that when he goes the bathroom, it may be messy and get around the house where the children may come in contact with it. Due to those concerns and the fact that he is a senior, we would prefer him to find a better home that is quiet and can best attend to his needs.

Story

RubyI can`t believe I am back at the HSHC. I am a female, 8-year-old grey tabby cat. I lived with my best friend, Mama, and my original owner until his health began to fail. We were surrendered to the shelter in September 2024 and got adopted on December 7, but after one month, we were returned. Even though I am a friendly, affectionate girl, I need lots of time to feel truly at home in a new place. Mama was older and less energetic than I was, but we had a special bond and we needed each other to feel at ease. We were not given enough time to become accustomed to the new home, and I became overwhelmed and overstimulated. Sadly, I released that frustration on the closest target (my bestie, Mama). Because we began to squabble, we were returned to HSHC. The HSHC staff recommends a new cat be given a small place, like a bathroom or bedroom, where it can go when stressed or afraid. This aids in the cat`s adjustment. If you talk to the interviewer lady (IL), she will tell you how friendly I was with her! I turned on my cuddle and purr motor during our visit! All I need is a patient, understanding person who will give me all the time I require to feel comfortable. You might even consider adopting both of us if you follow the instructions for introducing a cat into your home. 1-28-25

Story

JazzyYou`ve probably heard of cats that don`t warm up quickly and tend to run away when frightened. Well, double or triple those characteristics, and you will have me pegged! My owners adopted me as a kitten from another shelter, and I have lived with my family all my life. I am 2.5-years-old now. Last February, we moved to a new house, which was terrifying for me. The two young children and the two dogs in the home were always a source of fear, and whenever they came near me, I would run and hide. I knew the family meant well when they bought two self-cleaning, robotic litterboxes in addition to the traditional one, but I was petrified by their noise and movement. You get the picture! When a cat is fearful, stressed, and anxious, she often avoids the litterbox as a last-ditch effort to express herself. Therefore, I was surrendered to the HSHC on October 14.I was alarmed by all the new people, noises, and expectations. I used the litterbox just fine but tended to hide in my cubby rather than come out and socialize. For this reason, I was sent to live with a foster mom to give me a chance to relax and be in a home environment. She reports that I am doing better but still shy and easily scared. I hide a lot, but I sometimes play with house cats on the other side of the gate. I remain in my own space but am very loving, craving being petted, and I am a skilled biscuit-maker. My ideal home would be calm and quiet, offering a predictable routine, the kids would all be 12 or older, and I would be given a small space with everything I need as a place I could escape to. I loved the cat that lived with me in my first home, so if you have a friendly kitty, that might be just the companion I need to feel safe and comfortable. 1-7-25
