Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Sugar was a stray who found herself  pregnant and in need. Her foster took her in so she could safely finish raising  her babies. She has now been in her foster home for almost a year now.  She is spayed up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and microchipped. Sugar has really taken to the indoor cat life. She is sweet and loves her humans. She enjoys a good head scratch and attention  from her people. One of her favorite  things to do is lay in front of the window and watch the world go by. She does well with the children in the foster home, however  has not been tested with other cats or dogs. She would likely be fine with them as long as they are respectful  of her boundaries  and let her be the independent cat she is.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 1:53 pm

Story
Meet Miko! This gentle giant is around 2 years of age. He came to us as a stray so we are unsure of his back history.. but what we do know is that he definitely a friend to everyone! He is alittle timid and shy around new people, but once he does know you… he is nothing but a love bug. He would do well in a home with older children. He doesn’t seem to have any issues being around other cats and could possibly do well with dogs given slow and proper introductions. Miko is ready to be spoiled by his forever family…could that be you???

Story
My Petey is a wonderful boy and rehoming him is the last thing I want to do. He was found in a cardboard box with his sister outside a Burger King in Indianapolis in May 2019. I adopted both and they became our babies. The little girl took to my son and the little boy took to me. My son named them Peterbilt and Kenworth because of their purring engines. When my son got his own apartment, we decided to split them up because Kenny bullied Peter. We had another cat already, a tortoiseshell, who was 2 years older, Chloe. She and Peter have gotten along fine for several years. Last year, my father passed away and I have moved in with my mother. She refuses to allow more than Chloe. My son has been taking care of Peter but Peter and his sister do not get along. I've put off rehoming Peter for as long as possible. But, for his sake, he needs more love and attention than we can give him.Would you like to care for the best, most loyal boy cat in the whole wide world?

Story
Meet Salt, this little boy is currently in a foster home so please submit an application online to schedule a meet and greet!`There`s no words to describe how sweet and precious this little boy is! Salt is incredibly loving and will sleep right by your head on your pillow or anywhere cuddled up next to you. He sounds like a motorcycle when he purrs and he loves snuggling up right on your shoulder/chest or just in your lap. He also enjoys playing with any and every toy he can get his paws on and doesn`t seem to have a favorite at this time. Salt is very much a foodie and is curious about all food, so he`s quick to give any treats a thorough sniff and even a bite or two to decide if he likes it or not. For this guy, it`s usually eight out of ten times the treat is yummy lol`Salty Boy` is very much an ambivert in that he can shift from introvert to extrovert seamlessly. He`s very curious and open-minded, so he`s usually quick to investigate any new animals or humans to see if they will give him pets or play! Most households would honestly be fine for him. Whether it`s in a large house with several rowdy kiddos or a studio apartment with one owner and another cat, the only requirement for Salt`s forever home is that he is allowed to love anyone and everyone unconditionally. He is a gentle, playful kitten and this social boy is ready to light up your life with all of his gentle cuddles and soft purrs!`
