Story
He was found covered in fleas by the side of our road. We brought him in, cleaned him up and got him to the vet. He is VERY sweet but super anxious. Our other cat is way too aggressive with him and has caused him some serious stress to the point where he hides and overgrooms himself. We've been regularly giving him flea baths and flea medicine but it's a pretty tough battle to fight. He is very affectionate and vocal. He has never bit or scratched either of us even once. (Even when we had to give him a bath). But he just isn't happy in our home. He has bald spots from an allergice reaction to his fleas and from overlicking. Overall he is a very docile, playful, and sensitive boy.

Story
Lucifer is the kitten of a wild female cat in Hardinsburg, Indiana. He was born in March of 2023. He’s a good boy but very mischievous. He loves to play with our male goldendoodle, but our golden plays very rough with him—so that’s no good! Our one year old is allergic to cats so it’s unfortunate we must go this route, but it’s time that he move on to a more suitable home! He is good with other animals and children. He tends to be a loner when it comes to humans, but he will warm up with some affection.

Story
Originally Mala was supposed to just be a foster. She was found on the side of a highway and she must’ve only been four or five weeks old. We fell in love with her and decided to keep her. This was in 2020. However, after having a couple kiddos, we have realized that they stress her out too much and we do not feel it is fair for her to stay in our home, she is fine with teens though. Very friendly, cuddley and sweet with adults and other cats.

Story
Red is a charming orange tabby with a mangled ear, a badge of his adventurous outdoor past. A true people cat, Red adores attention, curling up beside his humans or talking to them with his expressive voice. He thrives on physical closeness, whether snuggling or lying in your lap, and loves chasing feather and snake toys and batting toy mice around. Once a street-smart outdoor cat, Red now enjoys the comforts of indoor life, including soft beds, endless snacks, and doting humans. Though his scrappy past left him with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), he is healthy, full of life, and ready for love. Regular vet care, a good diet, and a calm home will help him live a long, happy life. Non-aggressive and adaptable, Red gets along well with friendly cats and would thrive in a quieter household where he can be the center of attention. He’s proof that a rough start doesn’t define the future and is eager to share his love with a forever family

Story
My husband and I adopted these guys from the shelter in September. Unfortunately a change in circumstances has left us struggling financially and we can’t afford to keep these guys. The black one is Henry and is slightly older but still under a year old, playful and affection. The younger one Townes has feline herpes but is not contagious or affecting his quality of life, he just had a vet appointment last week. He is sweet. Both are fully vaccinated and neutered. They can be rehomed together or separate. They come with everything, toys, litter, food. Even the litterbox if you would like it.

Story
Mystic is an amazing cat! She is 2 1/2 years old. She is shy upon meeting new people but quickly learns to come out and cuddle. She likes to sleep with her human and her dog! She is litter trained, microchipped, and has recently been dewormed and has a flea treatment on her. She has been through a lot of change and needs a home with a little stability. Mystic would come with all the things needed for care - including a litter Robot V3 ($500 dollar value) wet & dry food, litter box, litter, toys, stuffed animals, cat tree (super nice one), cat treats, and flea treatment. Please consider adding her to your home. Unfortunately, my partner is incredibly allergic to cats, we have tried everything. I have chosen to care for his well-being, too. That decision has been SO HARD and I will miss her so much. And while there a part of me that is devastated about this, I also know and trust the universe in that Mystic is going to bring so much love and joy to someone else's life.
