Meet Dottie, a young feline whose personality is a delightful mix of cuddly warmth and playful energy. Dottie was born to a feral mother and came into foster care with her two siblings. She was the only girl and like most sisters thought it was her place to boss the boys.

With love and patience, she'll quickly adjust to her new surroundings. Her curiosity helps her to explore and understand her environment. Dottie loves to engage in interactive games, and her affectionate nature makes her a perfect companion for cozy evenings. Dottie's intelligence shines as she masterfully chases laser lights, displaying her agility and speed. Her love for feather toys is unmatched, playfully batting them around with her nimble paws. Adopting Dottie means bringing home a bundle of love and joy. Her zest for life will fill your home with laughter and her affectionate nature will provide endless comfort.

Story
Little Bit is a handsome 6 year old orange tabby. He was rescued as a sickly kitten by his original owner who recently passed away. Little Bit is now healthy, neutered, and up to date on his vaccines. Little Bit is missing most of his teeth, including his front teeth, which means the tip of his tongue is frequently out (a rather endearing look, if you ask us). Little Bit loves all people, but not all other animals; he’d prefer to be an only-pet. Thank you for your interest in adopting from HMF.  All of our pets are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and otherwise healthy, unless noted in the description.  Our adoption area is within 50 miles of Franklin/Bargersville, IN.

Story
Hi! I’m Nelson! I’m a sweet four year old male and I love to talk. I was found as a stray but know I’m in good hands now. When you first meet me, I may be a little shy. But, once I get to know you, I’ll purr. I’m up-to-date on everything and neutered. I’m fine with being around other cats, but would probably do best in a home that has older kids and calm dogs. If you would like to meet me, please contact Hope Marie’s Fund for more information. Thank you for your interest in adopting from HMF.  All of our pets are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and otherwise healthy, unless noted in the description.  Our adoption area is within 50 miles of Franklin/Bargersville, IN.

Story
Parker is a former feral who can be a little bit of a shy guy but he's the sweetest with time and patience. When you first meet him, his instinct is to run away but give him just a little time and he will turn into a giant love bug. Because of Parker's more tentative nature, he would do best in a quiet, calm home where he can slowly open up. He will need an experienced cat owner, another cat in the home, and no children.

Story
Hi there, my name is Catterlee and it's good to "meet" you. I know there are thousands of cats available for adoption right meow and you're probably wondering why I think you should adopt me. Basically, I'm just a really cool cat. I can be a little shy when we first meet but who isn't? It's weird and nerve wracking meeting someone for the first time, especially when you're looking at a lifelong commitment, right? Once we get acquainted you'll quickly find that I'm the kind of girl you can sit on the couch and eat pizza with (or you'll eat and I'll try to steal), I'll help you with any kind of computer work, and we can play for however long you'd like because I LOVE to play. At the end of the day we could cuddle up in bed and remember why today was the best day ever, even if it really didn't seem like it because I promise I'll do my best to make the every day the best day of your life for the rest of mine. That's just what best friends do. I do need an age appropriate feline in the home so if you don't have one, we can do a double adoption!

Story
Adopted this adorable kitten, along with another, a couple weeks ago. We did not realize our two 10 year old Border Collies would look upon the kittens as enemies & there is just no way the dogs will accept our two new kittens, much to our disappointment. The adoption name was Nina but we re-named her Dash as she is very quick & dashes from one toy to the next or into your lap. She is very loving and seems to be quite smart. Her buddy, Dolly, whom we adopted with Dash, appears to be Dash's best friend & they are both happy to share a lap when not playing. We are keeping them in a spare bedroom with two cat trees & various toys. We would be happy to include one of the cat trees with her if wanted. Dash is completely litter box trained & is beginning to understand commands & hand signals. We are very disappointed that we can't keep her but the dogs are just too much of a threat.
