Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I’m Old Spice. I might come off a little shy at first new places and new people can be a bit overwhelming for me. But if you give me a little time and patience, you’ll start to see my softer, sweeter side come out. I’m the kind of cat who enjoys a calm, quiet space where I can feel safe and go at my own pace. Once I’m comfortable, I like to hang nearby and keep you company in my own gentle way. If you have a peaceful home and a kind heart, I think we could be a really good match. I just need someone willing to take things slow with me, I promise I’m worth it.

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I'm Lady! I'm a sweet senior girl looking for a calm, loving home where I can enjoy all the comforts of the good life. I may be older, but I still have so much love to give and plenty of cozy cuddles left to share. My favorite things are soft beds, gentle affection, and spending quiet time with my people. I do have chronic diarrhea, so I'll need a family that's understanding and willing to help me manage my condition. Despite that, I'm a happy girl who is ready to trade shelter life for a peaceful home filled with love. I'm hoping to find a family who will cherish me through my golden years and give me the comfort and care I deserve. In return, I'll provide endless companionship, gentle purrs, and lots of love. Lady's adoption fee is waived thanks to Hensley Legal.

Story
I am currently at the Indianapolis Zoo participating in their 2026 ZooBoo! My adoption will be first come first serve based on when online applications come in, but my adoption cannot be finalized until November 2026. I sure am cute, but I’m a ball of energy and natural instincts! I need to get my energy out and will want to perch up high, cuddle, scratch on a post, and would love a window with a view. Kittens will naturally pounce, wrestle, and play rough. But if you stick with me, we’ll be best friends forever!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, I’m Kiwi! I’ll be honest, I’m a pretty scared girl right now. New places, unfamiliar sounds, and meeting new people can feel overwhelming, so I may spend my first few days tucked away somewhere cozy and safe. But please don’t mistake my fear for a lack of love. I just need a little time to learn that the world can be kind. Deep down, I’m a sweet cat who is looking for someone patient enough to help me build my confidence. The little victories mean everything to me, whether it's taking a treat from your hand, coming out to say hello, or relaxing enough to enjoy some gentle pets. With each day, I learn a little more that I'm safe and cared for. I’m hoping to find a calm, understanding family who will let me settle in at my own pace and celebrate those small steps with me. If you have a soft spot for shy cats and a big heart full of patience, I promise I’m worth the wait. One day, I’ll show you the loving companion that’s been hiding behind my fears all along.

Story
Hi, I’m Guava! I can be a little scared when I’m in a new place or meeting new people, so I might spend some time quietly observing before I come over to say hello. The world feels a lot less scary when I have kind, patient people around me who let me settle in at my own pace. Once I start to feel safe, my sweet personality begins to shine through. I enjoy gentle pets, cozy hiding spots, and quiet moments with the people I trust. Every day, I grow a little braver, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching me gain confidence and realize that I’m loved. I’m looking for a family who understands that sometimes the sweetest friendships take a little time to blossom. With patience, kindness, and lots of love, I know I’ll become a wonderful companion. If you’re ready to help a shy girl feel at home, I’d love the chance to show you just how special I am.
