Sweet, gentle Annette was found on the streets. Annette has been very healthy and happy since rescued! She would be a perfect lap kitty and companion to anyone looking for a friend! She was unfortunately tested positive for the FeLV (leukemia) virus so she needs to be an only kitty or with other FeLV kitties. Let us know if you are looking for a sweet, lover girl!

Story
I was born in an area of town where there are lots of stray cats. Thankfully I was cared for and was able to get into a rescue. I have had a pretty good life so far. I have learned to play well with my siblings. I have the best time with any kind of toy. If there is a cat scratcher around, I will sharpen my claws on it. I love cat trees and will be content to watch outside at wildlife. If you are looking for a new friend, come and see me. If you would like to adopt me, here is a link to apply. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POMH/Cat

Are you looking for a great cat? I might be what you are looking for. I was adopted as a kitten but my family dynamics changed and my owners wanted me to find a new home. I have the best personality. I will sit on your lap or beside you and keep you company. I will give you lots of purrs and maybe even make biscuits for you. Please consider adopting me. You won't regret it.

I was trapped after a house fire in Kokomo. The rescue isn't sure if I was in the house or just a lucky stray after the fact, but I enjoyed being rescued and absolutely love people! I get along great with other cats too! I was pretty rough when I arrived and it's taken time for me to be handsome again. Maybe I am the cat for you!

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.

Story
Hi, I’m Indy! I’m a sweet, laid-back guy who enjoys a good mix of lounging and playtime. I love batting around toys that roll—it’s one of my favorite ways to have fun! I can be a little shy when meeting new people and might hide at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm up and show you my gentle, affectionate side. Once I’m comfortable, I’m a relaxed and easy companion who just enjoys being near you. If you’re patient and let me settle in at my own pace, you’ll find I’m a loving, playful boy who’s well worth the wait.

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’m hoping to find a family who will cherish me through my golden years and give me the peaceful forever home I deserve.

Hi there… I’m Snowflake ❄️🐾 I may be just a kitten, but I’ve already shown I’m a little fighter with a whole lot of love to give. Right now, I’m suspected to have FIP, which means I’ll need a very special home—one that’s committed, understanding, and ready to give me the extra care I deserve. My journey may look a little different, but I’m still a sweet, loving baby who enjoys comfort, gentle attention, and feeling safe. I’m looking for someone who can see past my medical needs and into my heart. A home that’s patient, compassionate, and willing to work closely with a veterinarian to give me the best chance possible. In return, I’ll give you quiet cuddles, soft purrs, and a bond that’s truly special. If you’re ready to open your heart to a kitten who needs a little extra love, I’ll be right here waiting

Hi, I’m Star Boy 💙 I’m Baby Blue’s brother, and while he might be the bold one, I've come out of my shell! I've recently been in foster, and my foster mom says I have blossomed. Here's what she had to say: "He's a 5-week-old kitten trapped inside a 7-year-old's body. He's completely silent in the car and in his basecamp, but from the moment he starts exploring the house each morning, he's got SO much to say with the cutest array of vocalizations. And when I check his camera, he's pouncing each toy in his room, one at a time. So much personality!" If you’re looking for a soft-hearted companion, I’d love to be your boy!

Story
Hi, I'm Duchess! I'm a graceful girl with a calm, gentle nature who’s ready to find a loving home to call my own. I enjoy quiet moments, soft pets, and spending time near my favorite people once I feel comfortable and safe. I may take a little time to settle into a new environment, but once I do, my sweet personality really shines through. I appreciate a peaceful home where I can relax, feel secure, and be part of the family at my own pace. I'm also FIV+, but that doesn’t define me! Cats with FIV can live long, happy, healthy lives with proper care and an indoor lifestyle. I'm looking for a calm, caring home where I can be loved for who I am. If you have a little patience and a lot of kindness, I’ll be a devoted companion in return.
