Persian kittens & cats in Fishers, Indiana

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

MochaThe interviewer lady (IL) sent a check-up email to my foster mom to see how I was doing. My foster mom (FM) told her that things are pretty much the same as they were in July. You may recall that my owner surrendered me to HSHC because I was terrified of everything! The other cat, the dog, the children, and even the adults frightened me into hiding. Now I am a 9-year-old, black-and-white, DLH female kitty who never learned social graces as a kitten. However, my peace of mind and level of contentment have greatly improved since moving in with FM and family. As you might expect, I continue to despise change. For example, cutting my nails, forcing me into a cat carrier, exposing me to other animals, or small children. I spend most of my time in my bedroom or hiding behind the couch. The exception would be feeling safe enough to join the family in the evening. Things I have learned to love are dinner time, treats(!), belly rubs and brushing sessions with FM. I continue to prefer dry food over wet and plenty of clean, cool water. FM says that I am “a pretty chill cat,” and she knows I want to be relaxed and confident with people. It will take a patient person who understands my fears, who will give me the time and space to settle in. A quiet home, with patient humans, and everyone is 10 or older, is a must. I would appreciate being the only 4-legged family member. FM says I am not a trouble, for sure! 12-14-25
