Pixiebob kittens & cats in Fishers, Indiana

Fatboy & RudyWe have had these names our entire lives, and now that we`re 14 years and 7 months old, we`re accustomed to them. However, at only 9.3 pounds, my name isn`t accurate. Littermates and lifelong best friends, we are a two-for-one package deal. We lived with our owner for thirteen years, but she could no longer afford to keep us. When we arrived, we were in bad shape due to severe skin infections, hair loss, and demodex mange. We are shorthaired black cats. Rudy has one very long white whisker, and I don`t. Although we have both had TLC to help us gain weight and deal with our itchy skin, Rudy had nearly naked patches on his legs and back. As for me, Fatboy, my coat has come in nicely. When we moved to the HSHC, we were very stressed and nervous and had difficulty adjusting to the new place. We lived in a Roaming Room for a while, which was a significant improvement. But since no one was asking to see us, we went to a foster home for a break. It took us a few days to adjust to this new environment (mainly Rudy, who would stay inside a hut and hiss at me whenever I got near him). However, after the first few days, we grew comfortable and settled back into our usual selves. Our foster dad gave the interviewer the following report card. •They both have had perfect litter box etiquette with zero accidents. Fatboy doesn`t squat to pee, so I use a large plastic storage bin with an entryway cut out. He always pees against the back wall of the bin (opposite of the entrance) so the pee always stays inside. I wipe down the inside walls and lid daily when scooping the litter. •They`ve been sharing one litter box. I initially placed three in different rooms, but they would only use one, so I eventually removed the other two. •They are inseparable best friends and like to be close, but they don`t cuddle. And occasionally they tussle (as brothers do)!•Rudy loves to cuddle with me. Fatboy rarely does, but every once in a while, he`ll lie on top of me. •They both love chilling in their window beds, sunbathing, and bird-watching.•Though they spend much of their days lounging around, they still love to play with chase toys and their favorite, the laser pointer.•They are both very friendly, outgoing, and excellent with human strangers. Fatboy may swat or lightly nip to let me know if he`s not in the mood for petting. I haven`t had them around children or other animals, so that is a mystery.•They both usually love being petted but

FionaYou may recall my previous story regarding being surrendered to HSHC in October 2024, along with my siblings, because our owner was moving. We all had fleas and a nasty skin infection. Once I recovered from this, I was adopted in January `25 but surrendered again due to some tummy troubles. Since moving back to the shelter, I have lived in two different foster homes, which have been so good for my mental and physical health. My current foster mom (FM) reports that I am a quiet girl, and I prefer a quiet home. However, since I am 12-years-old, that is to be expected. Some of my favorite things in life are lying on a memory foam bed (so comforting!), being petted, combed, and brushed, and receiving belly rubs. When the brushing begins, I turn on the purrs! Sitting on a window seat or relaxing in a screened-in porch allows me to hone my naturalist skills. I`m obsessed with the chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and birds I witness. Sometimes I play with toys by myself when I`m honestly bored. However, taking a nap is always a pleasant alternative activity. I`m a foodie for sure! I would spend my days eating (especially dry food) if it were allowed. When I`m hungry, I will rub against your legs and then walk over to my food dish to let you know it is empty. If I eat too fast, I might vomit, so a slow-down dish might be the ticket. I take my medications mixed in with wet food without complaints. Because I tend to put my paw into my bowl to swish the water before drinking, I require a heavy water bowl. I will spill the water if the bowl is too light. Hey, I`m just being honest! I have 100% successful litterbox skills, without fail. I have let grandkids pet me, but the minute they get loud, I`m outa there. I have two deal breakers before I sign my adoption contract. 1. I prefer to be the only pet in the household. The friendly cat in my foster home has tried several times to befriend me, and I always hiss and growl at him. My new family must do gradual introductions to any pets you already have. 2. I do not like to be picked up. That`s about it. I`m ready to meet you! 7-11-25
