Story
We took in Murph as a favor to a friend who couldn’t keep him anymore. We didn’t intend to keep him as long as we have. He has been great with our two little kids (6 yo, 3yo) and likes to wrestle and play chase with our Blue-healer. He can be shy around new people but when he warms up, he can be very affectionate. The reason we are needing to rehome Murph is that our 14 year old Husky doesn’t do well with cats. We have tried for a couple years at this point to make it work thinking that as both animals got older and used to each other, they would get along. We were wrong. Unfortunately, we feel it is not safe for Murph and it is unfair to both pets to have to be constantly segregated in the house or heavily supervised. We will be sad to see him go but we feel it’s in the best interest for everyone. Please consider taking in Murph! He would be a great addition to your home!

Sanibel was in a large set of kittens Soar took from a shelter around the Ft. Meyers area in Florida that was affected by hurricane Ian. What was supposed to be 8-9 kittens, turned into 35! Sanibel is shy with humans and needs to be adopted with her brother Andrew or have another loving cat in the home as emotional support.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She appeared in our garden, injured from what looked like a cat fight. Spent over a thousand dollars on vet bills to ensure she was healthy. Took 2 months for wounds to fully heal. We think she was an outside cat, as she does not seem to get a long with our other two cats. She tends to over eat, worried the other cats would eat her food. We now have a RFID collar feeder, so she has her own food source, and that would go with her to her new home. She needs a home with no other cats, to avoid anxiety. She is a great people cat, loves to cuddle, loves to be pet. She just needs a cat free home to be comfortable.

I acquired her from IACS. She is a lovely cat but she was raised in multiple foster houses with numerous other pets, and is really struggling in my household without any furry friends. I'd love to find her a permanent household with other cats to keep her company.

Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Found on the mean streets of Indianapolis alongside his two brothers, Cecil has been the leader of the pack from day one. Ever since we found him, Cecil has captured our hearts with his gentle playfulness, and assertive demeanor. Despite this, Cecil has also remained the most calm and well mannered of the three, which is why adopting this guy out has been harder than we could have ever imagined. He has shown a high degree of intelligence for a cat his age, and continues to surprise and delight us as he continues to develop his personality. His latest development is that he has become quite the cuddle bug, and insists on being held every chance he can get. We hope that his forever home provides him with as much love as he has shown us. The adoption fee is to cover a single vet visit that was made when we first rescued him and his brothers.

Story
It was obvious from the moment I found the three brothers that this guy was the runt of the litter. His small size did not stop him from making his voice heard, and definitely did not stop him from showing just how big his heart is. Nuka has always been my favorite of the three, not because he was so tiny and adorable, but because he was the most loving and gentle of the three. Any time that I am around Nuka, if he is not preoccupied with his favorite tennis ball, he is attempting to give me kisses and purring as loud as he can. Nuka is full of love and I hope that his forever home is able to smother him in more love than he knows what to do with, because I know for a fact he deserves it. The adoption fee is to cover a preliminary vet visit that was performed when we first acquired the three brothers. They were very sick and malnourished, but now they are healthy, happy, and ready for new homes!
