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
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?
