Tabby kittens & cats in Fishers, Indiana

Princess is an affectionate cat who loves to be loved. Her favorite place is next to (or on top of) her human, purring away and kneading lovingly. Her mom was a stray that showed up in our porch a week before giving birth, and Princess has lived with me her whole life. She's 7 years old. She tolerates her brother (Pirate, same litter), but is just as happy when he's not around. She gets along with our Maltese, but not with our Maltipoo or miniature schnauzer who constantly bark at Princess. So if you have dogs that are chill around cats, it might be fine. But we're rehoming her because it's not fair for her to be hunted, chased, and barked at all the time. She hasn't been aggressive towards the dogs and she hasn't hurt the dogs even in self defense. Princess has been mostly an indoor cat, though she's enjoyed sitting on the front porch since we moved to Indy. She likes sunshine and ear skritches, bacon and salmon. Fancies herself the alpha of the family. She's a great cat.

Pirate is a sweet love bug with a strong purr. His mom was a stray that came to us a week before having her kittens. Pirate has lived with me his whole life. He's 7 years old and has mostly been an indoor cat. Since moving to Indy, he has learned that he likes to sit in the backyard when the sun's out. Pirate was born with only one eye, and it's never caused him any trouble or health issues. He really wants to be best friends with his sister (Princess, same litter), but she's not interested. So if you have other cats that like cats, he'd be thrilled. He gets along fine with our Maltese - they're not friends but they can hang out on the sofa together just fine. We're rehoming him because of combining households, and we have a Maltipoo and a miniature schnauzer who are constantly chasing, hunting, and barking at the cats. It's not fair to Pirate to always be on high alert and hiding. He just wants to be loved. He's never been aggressive towards the dogs or hurt them in self defense.

Pumpernickel needs a home. He is free if interested. Please please adopt me. I am a loving kitty, please give me a chance.

No adoption fee, we will supply all starting supplies and food! Sassparrilla is an AMAZING female orange tabby adopted from Indy IACS (they are aware we are rehoming her). She is bright, curious, and sometimes her last two brain cells are battling for first place. She is playful beyond belief and loves a good pat on the butt. Why rehome her, then? My husband and I are live-in caregivers for our aging, elderly parents and are relocating to a smaller, more accessible home that can accommodate their needs and need to find her a forever home. No adoption cost, we are happy to supply all starting supplies and her kibbl

Cleo is a sweet stray cat caring for three young kittens. She is such a good mom that she took in an abandoned kitten that wasn't hers! Now, Cleo is the leader of their little troupe, which includes her own two kittens as well. Often overshadowed by the three babies she takes care of, Cleo is such a gem of a cat! She is long and lanky and absolutely gorgeous. She is often found sitting on our back steps, patiently waiting for her next meal. If we don't respond fast enough, she likes to jump up onto the banister so she can speak to us at our eye level! In fact, she's a natural climber: whenever we find muddy paw prints on our car's hood, we know Cleo has been around. Cleo has sacrificed a lot for her kittens, but she deserves a safe and loving home, too! If we didn't have too many cats as it is, we would adopt Cleo in an instant! She is a very easygoing girl who has endless patience for her kittens' antics, though I'm certain she would enjoy being a solo cat, too.

I adopted Ruby when she was only 6 weeks old from the humane society. She is so shy and will keep to herself. We’ve had her for 5 years and my oldest is allergic we’ve managed her allergies but it’s gotten to the point where my daughter is doubling up on medicine and still not feeling her best. We are busy and believe Ruby needs a quieter environment and extra love. She comes with her fancy rotating litter box and we know she deserves better. She wants to be lovable but loud noises or any sudden movement makes her skittish. She has always been like this. But she is a relaxer she loves to hang out and chill. She will tell you if her food is low or needs more water. She wants to be petted on her terms but most of the time she is perfectly content just stretchy nearby.

JazzyListen, I understand if you don`t want to read my latest interview since the IL has now written four of them. But I think you`ll want to hear the good news. You may recall that I have a history of being a scaredy cat and spent much time hiding. I had been adopted as a kitten, but the noise and chaos caused by moving to this place with two young kids and two dogs were just too stressful for me to cope with. Therefore, I was surrendered to the HSHC on October 14, 2024. I was alarmed by the influx of new people, the noise, and the shelter`s expectations. I used the litterbox just fine but tended to hide in my cubby rather than come out and socialize. So, on December 13, I was sent to live with a foster mom to give me a chance to relax and be in a home environment. Initially, I was extremely shy and easily intimidated. However, my foster mom (FM) has reported that I have made so much progress. My FM calls me the `sweetest little cat`. I am very affectionate and will come to you when you call, especially if you are holding my brush. I like to be near you! I use my litterbox like a champ. I love being brushed, making biscuits on FM, and even sleeping on FM`s chest. I still prefer being the one to make the first move, as I don`t enjoy being picked up. I love receiving affection when I ask for it. I have learned to appreciate the automatic electric feeder, and it gives me confidence that I won`t miss a meal. I tend to overeat, so please don`t allow me to snack all day. Other cats hold no interest for me. If I can hear or smell them near the door, I will hide! My favorite pastimes include watching those YouTube videos of birds and squirrels, as well as sitting by the window. I am the perfect cat for someone who is happy having only one cat. I am now 3 years, 2 months old, and still a very pretty white and brown DMH tabby. My idea of the perfect home is one without children under 12, with no other pets, and a relatively quiet atmosphere. I`m proud of my achievements and look forward to a fresh start in a forever home. 7-8-25

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
