Tabby kittens & cats in Shelbyville, Indiana

Paisley is looking for her forever home! She is a very sweet, gentle, quiet young adult cat. She takes a little bit of time to warm up, but once she does, she is very affectionate, purrs a lot, loves rubbing on your legs, and enjoys pets. She also likes sitting on the cat tree looking out the window. She does hide a lot of the time, but that's just what helps her feel safe! She would probably do best in a calmer home. Paisley came to us with stones in her bladder and needed surgery to remove them. She is on a prescription urinary care food and would need to stay on urinary care food for life unless advised otherwise by a veterinarian.

Sierra is a friendly and playful cat who loves belly rubs and scratches. She gets along well with other cats but is a bit sassy to them at times so would do fine on her own too. She is cuddly but gives love bites when she's overstimulated or has had enough. Sierra's favorite things include dry food and big stretches! She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots and tests. **Sierra is FIV positive. Her FIV+ status does not mean she cannot be around other cats. She would only be able to give FIV to another cat via a hard bite, so she would need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure no aggression. Sierra lives with other cats currently with no aggression issues, only a little sass. Sierra is also on prescription gastrointestinal food and will need to stay on this diet unless advised otherwise by a vet. Come meet Sierra!

Jade is a particular, older lady who is very vocal and seeks out attention on her own terms. She can be affectionate when she wants to be. She loves to play and enjoys finding places to hide when she’s ready to rest. She came with another cat (Rory) whom she lived with before, but is indifferent towards them so would most likely be okay alone as well. Jade is front-paw declawed (not done by us at Pepper's Pals - we do not declaw). She also has early-stage kidney disease that will need to be cared for. Jade deserves a furever home to live out her golden years! For the fastest response, submit an application here: https://www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster

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.

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.

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

His foster mom has this to say about him: "Before coming back to me as a foster, Buddy was up for adoption at an adoption center, but was terrified at that particular adoption location.
