Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Cicero, Indiana

Please do not send inquiries. These cats can be visited at PetSmart in Carmel/Westfield (14720 Greyhound Plaza) during store business hours. Applications are available at the store. These are not “cuddlers”. These are young adults that came to us from Indy Neighborhood Cats when they were kittens. They were born feral and we have been working on socialization for months. They do NOT like to be picked up, and allow us to pet them on their terms. But they LOVE playtime with tunnels and cat trees. ADOPTER WILL NEED TO CONTINUE SOCIALIZATION and BE PATIENT. WE WILL ONLY ADOPT THEM AS A BONDED PAIR. Azalea is a sweet girl who will be the first to come out of her shell. She loves attention. But she loves her nightly can of Fancy Feast pate more! This will be the secret to winning both of them over. Larkspur will not let you move him, pick him up, or do anything to him, except pet him sometimes. He was the spiciest kitten when he came to us and hasn't changed much. He does not trust human hands. To trim claws, we do muzzle him. Thanks to another foster cat, Larkspur would come up to us begging for attention while the other foster cat got his daily loving. Larkspur ran off after a few pets. A PetSmart employee also helped with his socialization and now he comes out seeking attention when he gets his nightly canned food. Larkspur needs a covered litter box with no door or he'll overshoot the sides of the litter box. (The litter box in their cage is included with their adoption.) These cats have not been around dogs or small children. We insist on a cat-only household with children over 12. They do great with other cats. Azalea & Larkspur are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and are microchipped. Approximate date of birth is August 21, 2022. Adoption fee = $75 per cat ($150 total)

BinkyIf you go by one of the catios at the front of the HSHC, you are likely to see me sunbathing, snacking, or taking a nap. I have this lovely room to myself as I am not fond of other animals. I`m 9-years-old, spayed, I use the litter box faithfully, I have a healthy appetite, and I am a beautiful, petite, jet black female with a long, lustrous coat. I have my preferences in how I want to live my life. I prefer to be allowed access to the outdoors during the day and welcomed back inside at night. So you could call me an indoor/outdoor kitty. I am a playful girl; my favorite toys are things I can bat around the floor. I have never cared for children, nor do I tolerate other animals in my home. Despite my objections, my owner of eight years preferred to permit those creatures into the house. That is why I was surrendered to the HSHC on March 9, 2025. Good grief! What did the woman expect? She found me as a stray kitten and knew my personality from the beginning. The shelter staff decided I would be happier in a foster home where I could relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the cattery. My foster mom (FM) provided the following updates. It may take me weeks, if not months, to trust, feel comfortable, and relax. Once I felt at home with my FM, I would allow her to pet my head. I would even solicit affection by rubbing against her legs. I loved sleeping in the bed she gave me. I am an excellent user of scratcher boards, scratching poles, and other appropriate surfaces. I was never destructive in my foster home. As a kitten, I may have been disciplined with a hand, because I am fearful of hands coming toward me. I do not enjoy being held, as it is too restraining. The HSHC and my FM agree that I will be happier in a home with adults only and no other pets. They recommend that having calming aids, interactive toys, regular play sessions, and yummy treats will help develop my confidence and sense of security. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by my catio and say hi! 11-26-25
