My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi… my name is India!
I’m a small black cat with a quiet voice, a gentle heart, and (most days) one very special white whisker you can recognize me by. I also usually wear my blue and brown collar so you don’t lose track of me while I’m busy being adorable.

I came to the sanctuary a couple years ago after living outside for a long time. I was a feral mama who raised many litters of kittens out there. My last litter came in with me to a different rescue, and I was a very good mom, so good, in fact, that I even helped care for orphan kittens who didn’t have a mama of their own. Once my babies were big enough, they all found their forever homes. I stayed behind.

At that time… I had absolutely no interest in humans. Not one bit. So I was transferred to furball, where patience lives and nobody rushes a girl like me.

For the first year, touching me was a no thank you. But with time, love, calm voices, and yes food (I will never deny the power of food), something changed. One day I decided that pets were actually… wonderful. Now I’m super sweet, and I almost get excited when I know you’re coming over to pet me. I’ll even meow for affection, it’s a very quiet meow, so you have to listen closely.

In a new home, I will hide at first. New places are scary, and I like to observe before I commit. But I warm up faster than you might expect, especially if you bring snacks. I am a huge fan of lickable treats. A true sucker for them, honestly.

I can still be a little shy sometimes, but if you’re calm and kind, I may decide your lap is a very good place to sit. I recently had a dental and lost quite a few teeth, but don’t worry, it hasn’t slowed down my love of food one bit.

I’m a calm girl and would really enjoy a calm home. I love other cats and would prefer to have feline friends to share naps, snacks, and companionship with.

If you think we might be meant for each other, you can come visit me daily from 1–5pm. Maybe I’ll give you my quiet little meow… and maybe I’ll choose you.

I have excellent litter box habits. My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat.

I am fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our goal is to be a sanctuary for cats who are not adoptable and to find loving homes for those who are. We welcome you to visit our sanctuary to snuggle with our furballs. You may even end up going home with one...or two!!!

You always need to remember our cats come with baggage. Lots of them were treated badly by people and it has taken time for them to trust us. They may need to come out of their shells once you adopt them. You need to give them time to see you are not going to hurt them. We love our Furballs and want good homes for all of them. Please remember it is all about the cats for us.

We only adopt out our Furballs to people within 2-3 hours of our sanctuary because of the baggage they come with. This does not include some of the cats in foster care (contact their foster parents for more information).

Adoption application

Our visiting hours are from 1-5pm every day. We encourage people to come meet the Furball they potentially want to adopt beforehand!

We are located at 3405 220th St E Faribault, Minnesota 55021.
