Pixiebob kittens & cats in Fishers, Indiana

Charlotte loves people, her sister, and chatting (possibly not in that order)! Charlotte is quick to "talk" and will frequently walk around the house, talking to people and animals alike and fully expects a response! Charlotte came to ARPO with her brother, Fritz, and sister, Susie. While she is a very brave girl, she would really prefer to stay with her sister. They act just like siblings-loving and snuggling on each other and then rolling around on the floor wrestling. Charlotte likes EVERYONE-people, other cats, dogs-she hasn't met anyone she doesn't like! Charlotte is spayed and microchipped, uses her liter box, and loves wet food. Charlotte also loves snuggles but is perfectly happy to nap in the middle of the floor if the urge hits, however a fleecy blanket can quickly tempt her to sleep elsewhere and start biscuit making!

Lady BugBoy, do I have a story to tell the interviewer lady (IL), as soon as I get back to the shelter! Right now, I have landed in a “pot of jam” foster home! I moved in with my foster mom (FM) on December 26, so I am still getting to know her. I am 13-years, 9-months old, a smallish brown tabby, already spayed and litter box trained. I first arrived at the shelter as a three-month-old kitten. I was adopted on September 19, 2012. The weird thing is, I turned up as a stray cat on November 15, 2025. So where have I been all this time? Who knows? When I arrived the second time, I was fearful, nervous, and stressed by the unfamiliar people and places. However, since being with my FM, I have been gradually opening up to her and showing off my skills at using the litterbox without fail, accepting pets on my head, and getting scratches on my chin. FM believes I am more fearful than I am unfriendly. The secret to succeeding with me is patience and understanding. I no longer hide all the time and even follow her around, sitting at her feet and meowing for her attention. FM told the IL that I am a complete sweetheart, never hissing, swatting, or exhibiting any bad behaviors. I am very adept at grooming, especially my face, which FM says is cute! I have a healthy appetite for all the food I’m given. I especially enjoy crunchy treats when they are tossed near my feet. I have not yet shown lap-cat tendencies, but FM says it’s just a matter of time, love, and patience. Believe me, I am grateful to be back with the HSHC and in my foster home. My future is looking up! 1-1-26

TiggerI am keeping my spirits up and thinking positively about finding my forever home. I am a 4-year-old DSH, tan-and-brown girl with Tabby stripes. I am spayed and litter box trained. My owner told the HSHC that I had been a wonderful companion up until she surrendered me to the shelter on July 13. This is the sad part of my story. I`m a rather sensitive girl, easily startled and frightened by sudden movements and loud sounds. For example, lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners are terrifying. I react by running and hiding, or swatting at whatever scares me. Recently, I was sitting at the window when I suddenly spotted either another cat or a raccoon, and I became panicky! Because I couldn’t get at the animal, I hissed and swatted at the window. I took out my fear and frustration on my owner. I feel very sad that she had to surrender me to the HSHC, but I understand. What I need is a quiet, predictable home with low traffic and family members who are all 16 or older. I need owners who can read my body language when I’m feeling fearful or anxious. The interviewer lady (IL) wants you to know she has only seen my charming side. When she has visited me, I have given her head butts, pushed my head into her hands, let her pet me all over, and demonstrated my friendly, sociable, and curious behaviors. My new home must provide a small, safe space to call my own, where I can retreat. Because I am a young, active cat, interactive play sessions several times a day with wand toys, laser pointers, or puzzle toys with hidden treats will help me bond with my humans. Please allow me to chase, catch, and bite the toy, as this helps satisfy my natural prey drive. Although I am a healthy girl, my front paws were declawed, giving me arthritis in my feet. My owner reported that I am a lovable cat who would climb into her lap to sit and watch TV. (I slept; she watched TV) I also slept with her at night. I don’t like being picked up or having my stomach or feet messed with. The IL also told me I have the cutest little round face. Look at my eyes in my pictures. My pupils were enormous when I arrived and gradually got smaller as I became more comfortable. Please come and adopt me. 9-17-26
