We're excited to share that we have been nominated for the first-ever Pet Friendly Community Choice Awards!

Every day, our team and volunteers work to help animals in our community, and we're honored to be recognized alongside so many incredible Indiana organizations.

Even more exciting, winners will receive spay/neuter funding from Pet Friendly Services to help us continue our lifesaving work and prevent pet overpopulation in our community.

Voting opens June 15 and runs through July 2.

You can vote once per email address per day, so every vote makes a difference!

🐾 FREE TO CHOOSE YOUR FEE! 🐾

This Juneteenth, we are celebrating freedom, family, and forever homes! We currently have 30 beautiful kittens filling our nursery, and our goal is to get every single one into a loving home by the close of day Thursday.

For 5 days only, we are waiving our standard kitten fees and letting YOU name your own adoption fee.

Whether you have been looking for a playful tabby, a sweet espresso bean, or a cuddly calico, your perfect match is waiting.

Details:
📅 Friday, June 12th – Thursday, June 18th
📍 650 Van Sickle Street, Rushville, IN 46173
⏰ During open hours (closed weekends)
📦 Bring a carrier or buy one of ours

*each adoption includes vaccinations, dewormer, flea prevention, microchip, and spay/neuter. None of the kittens are fixed yet, but can leave today and will leave with an appointment already scheduled. The adopter will need to bring the pet back to the shelter for their appointment.
