Story
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. Jett (and his sister Molly) were adopted from us as kittens to an elderly lady in July 2020. The lady passed away in May 2024 from Alzheimer's. Molly and Jett stayed in the house with the lady's sister (who was her caregiver). Unfortunately, the sister was NOT a cat person and I was called to pick them up on New Year's Eve 2024. Molly and Jett were unsocialized and traumatized. They had not been out of the house since a vet visit in 2022. They have been with us for a year now and love the attention they get from customers. Jett is a ham, nudging for attention, but lets us know with a hiss or swat if we've pet him somewhere he doesn't like (usually his tail) or is otherwise displeased. He needs an adopter that will be patient with him and tolerate his attitude. He needs to be the ONLY PET in the home. He does not like other cats (Jett will walk over and hiss at Ghost for no reason) or even the smell of other cats on our hands. He has not been around dogs nor small children. He should be okay with older children that respect his boundaries. His big weakness is catnip, which he will eat! We originally thought Jett was bonded to his sister Molly, but when she had to go to foster care for a bladder stone, both cats showed many signs of being LESS stressed. So Jett is now available for adoption solo. Born March 18, 2020. (Jett comes with his cat carrier and bed.) Adoption fee = $50

Story
Please do not send inquiries. Ghost can be visited at PetSmart in Carmel/Westfield (14720 Greyhound Plaza) during store business hours. Applications are available at the store. Licorice was originally adopted from us in May 2020. Licorice had been trapped at a feral colony feeding site. She was immediately taken for spay/neuter. She was spayed and stayed with us for extended recovery time since she was pregnant at the time of spay. That's when we found out she is not feral, but is the sweetest little shy cat! Unfortunately, Licorice was picked up by an Animal Control Officer and taken to the Humane Society with an eye injury this past summer. Thanks to her microchip, she was returned to us. We were unable to contact the adopters. Licorice's eye injury turned out not to be an injury, but Eosinophilic Keratitis, a possible symptom of Feline Herpes Virus (which 90-95% of all cats have). Licorice will need an eye drop once daily for the rest of her life to keep the eye from clouding. (We will send her with the bottle we have, and instructions to get more. Approximately $68 per month.) We have developed a routine with her that we give her the eye drop, then a can of cat food, warmed with hot water. She does great! Licorice should be okay with other cats as long as they don't bully her. We do not know how she would do with dogs. She is not fond of being picked up, but loves attention and talking to you. She can be temperamental and may swat at you, but then she forgives you and wants attention again. Because of this temperament, we recommend placement with older children (over 12). Licorice is currently eating Kirkland Cat Maintenance kibble and one can of Friskie's pate (various flavors, hot water added) daily. She's put on some weight, but should slim back down with more activity. Licorice is now 6 years old, spayed, updated vaccines, microchipped and re-tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Adoption fee = $75

Story
Please do not send inquiries. Ghost can be visited at PetSmart in Carmel/Westfield (14720 Greyhound Plaza) during store business hours. Applications are available at the store. Ghost has already lived a long, hard life. He is now looking for a comfortable home where he can just be spoiled. Ghost was a tom cat who was taken in by a nice couple that gave him shelter, food and care. He was diagnosed with FIV and heartworm. The couple contacted us when they knew Ghost would need further care and a good forever home. We worked with the vet team at IndyHumane who conducted radiographs, testing, neuter and eventually teeth cleaning and extraction. Ghost is now heartworm antigen negative (breeding females are gone), but still heartworm antibody positive (males not dead yet). He has no clinical signs of heartworm anymore. Ghost is a big guy that is not the best at grooming himself. He will need someone who can give him regular brushing with his favorite comb (included in his adoption), and occasionally make sure the back end is clean. He is shy, so we want to find him a quiet home with no dogs and no small children. He does fine with other cats. Jett will hiss in his face and he will not respond. Ghost gets a can of Friskie's shreds nightly and loves to give us a head bonk before he dives in to his favorite meal! Ghost is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV. He is FIV positive. He is approximately 7 years old. Adoption fee = $75 (Ghost comes with the cat house and litter box in his cage.)

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

Jojo is a loving 1 year old cat who is incredibly sweet. We love her so much but are unable to keep her much to ourselves dismay. Our biggest need for rehoming is she has tested positive for Feline Leukemia a month ago and we have other cats we are having to keep her separate from. If you are looking to adopt be known that you are not able to have any other cats due to-how the disease spreads. She is fully litter box trained , and is fixed as well. If you choose to adopt miss Jojo you will not be disappointed with her outgoing personality and her loving attitude

Meet Mars 🤍🐾 Mars is a sweet, gentle gray-and-white boy looking for a new home. He is very easygoing and does great with kids, dogs, and other cats. He enjoys normal cat things lounging in cozy spots, watching the window, and exploring outside for a few minutes before coming right back in. Mars loves being near his people and will happily snuggle or hang out close by. He’s the perfect mix of independent and affectionate. We need to rehome him through no fault of his own. My husband’s allergies have gotten too severe, and despite trying everything, we can’t manage it anymore. Mars deserves a home where he can be fully loved without health issues getting in the way. He will come with food, treats, toys and a cat tower. If you’d like to meet him or learn more, please reach out. Mars is truly a good boy and will make a wonderful addition to the right home. 🤍🐾
