Paws on my Heart, Inc.

Cat rescue in Carmel, IN

We are a Federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit feline rescue group established in 2018. We work in many Indiana counties, including Hamilton, Marion, Delaware, and many places in between. We run on 100% volunteers and donations.

Our Mission:
To rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home cats and kittens in need. We aim to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering in order to create a community that values the well-being of all cats. And even if we can't help directly, we utilize our contacts and various resources to assist to the best of our ability.

Our Values:
- We are a no-kill rescue. We believe that every cat deserves a chance at life. We do all we can to rehabilitate even the most troubled cats and place them somewhere they can live their best lives.
- We do NOT support or allow declawing of our cats. We sometimes rescue cats that have previously been declawed and may consider placing them with a family that prefers a declaw.
- We require our adoptees to be indoor cats for their safety and well-being.

Our adoption application includes our rescue's terms and policies. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Our Vision:
A society free from the challenges of feline overpopulation, and where responsible pet ownership is second nature. We seek a world where the public is well-informed on animal matters in order to provide the best care for their furry companions.
