Shelbyville, IN

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Adopted this adorable kitten, along with another, a couple weeks ago. We did not realize our two 10 year old Border Collies would look upon the kittens as enemies & there is just no way the dogs will accept our two new kittens, much to our disappointment. The adoption name was Nina but we re-named her Dash as she is very quick & dashes from one toy to the next or into your lap. She is very loving and seems to be quite smart. Her buddy, Dolly, whom we adopted with Dash, appears to be Dash's best friend & they are both happy to share a lap when not playing. We are keeping them in a spare bedroom with two cat trees & various toys. We would be happy to include one of the cat trees with her if wanted. Dash is completely litter box trained & is beginning to understand commands & hand signals. We are very disappointed that we can't keep her but the dogs are just too much of a threat.

Story

Hello, I'm Queenie Belle. I'm an independent lady with a curious spirit. I love exploring new nooks and crannies, sniffing out hidden treasures. When I'm not on an adventure, I enjoy lounging around, basking in the peaceful quiet. I'm not one to cling, but I do appreciate a good chin scratch every now and then. I'm self-sufficient, but I still crave companionship. I'm looking for a forever home where I can continue my explorations and share my discoveries. With me, every day will be a new adventure. Adopt Queenie Belle, and let the adventure begin.

Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained,

Story

I acquired this cat from a friend who was living in Franklin at the time. My roommate and I have had him since October 31 trying to find someone to foster him but have had no success! We don’t know many details about him, but he is not chipped, not neutered, and roughly about a year old we guess. He is mostly to completely blind, but so intelligent and gets around very well! He is super sweet and a big cuddle bug. He does fairly well with other cats, specifically females. He has butt heads with my male cat and caused my male cat to be extremely stressed out which is largely why we are looking to rehome him. He is SUPER food motivated with no boundaries regarding taking food as well as playing too hard with other cats at times. He could really use some extra love and care to help discipline him with this. My roommate do not have the time or ability to provide this and would LOVE to rehome him asap!!
