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.

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!

Story

It’s with a heavy heart that we are looking to rehome my MIL’s cat, Noelle. We have had her for almost 2 years and unfortunately she and our eldest female cat are still unable to get along and it is creating unnecessary stress on both of them. Noelle is very smart, affectionate and loves to play fetch with her cat toys. Noelle is 3 years old and although she and our eldest cat don’t get along, Noelle was living with other cats before we adopted her and getting along fine. Noelle also gets along with dogs! She is free to a great home as we don’t want to resort to a shelter. We will also send her food, litterbox/litter, toys and treats with her.

Story

Solo, our beloved 7-year-old cat, was born on July 17, 2017, and has been a cherished part of our family since then. He refuses to use his litter box unless it is spotless, a reflection of how meticulously we’ve cared for him. My father, in particular, devoted himself to Solo’s care, ensuring he had everything he needed. Unfortunately, my father has recently faced significant health challenges, leaving him unable to continue caring for Solo. Adding to this, other family members have severe allergies to cats, but we had always managed to keep Solo because of how much he means to us. However, with the arrival of a newborn baby in our family who adores Solo but is also allergic. This decision has devastated us, but we believe it is the best choice for both our family and Solo. Without the same level of care and attention he is accustomed to, Solo has started overgrooming and pulling out the fur on his hind legs.We want him to thrive in an environment where he can receive the love and care

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

Atticus is a lovely kitty who I’ve had for about 6 years of his life. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 2 years ago and requires medication as well as blood testing that due to life changes I’m struggling to afford. I want to see him thrive in a home that is able to give him a little extra love and attention. He can startle easily at first but he’s quick to warm up to new faces. He won’t hesitate to cuddle up to you and loves to purr!

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

Story

Luna was adopted through Smitten Kitten 8/6/23. She has been a very shy cat from the time she has been with us. Is very lovey and loves to snuggle. With the addition of a puppy and an additional cat, she started acting out by going outside of the litter box. We attempted several methods to resolve this, but ultimately had to limit her access to one room without other pets. She has been doing well in this situation, but she does not get the attention she deserves any longer due to being limited within the house. She is very lovey once she gets to know you, but likes to hide when people are around she does not know.

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.

Phoebe

American Shorthair

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.
