Our rescue partner: ARPO (Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership)
Kittens must be adopted in pairs unless there is another active animal in the home.
Multiple applications may be accepted for cats in residence at NLCC, as ARPO is looking for the best fit for each feline. This may mean that your application could be denied because another applicant is deemed more likely to provide a more suitable environment. This decision is made by the feline’s foster.
Before you apply, please ensure that, if you have animals in your home already, they are up-to-date on their vaccines/wellness care.
The application fee is collected by IndyAdopts, a 501(C)3 nonprofit foundation that uses the funds to support the needs of cats in residency at NLCC.
Please allow 1-3 business days for processing your application. Adoption pickup date may be affected by the number of incoming/outgoing cats.
Adoption fees:
Under 7 months- $150
2 Kittens under 7 months- $250
7-11 months- $100
1 year- $75

Winston Jr.
Organization: ARPO
Age: ~1.75 years
Sex: Male
Breed: DSH
Color: White with brown Tabby
Fee: $75
Status: Available*
Bio: Meet Winston!
Once an indoor cat, Winston Jr ended up outside during a harsh winter. He found a kind porch where he was fed and slowly learned to trust again. By spring, he bravely chose the comfort of indoor life—and hasn’t looked back.
Now thriving in foster care, Winston Jr is affectionate, playful, and loves giving head butts. He gets along well with kids and other cats and is eager to be part of a family again. After all he’s been through, Winston Jr is more than ready for a fresh start and a home filled with love.
Winston will be your number one fan. When you get home from work he’ll be right there to greet you with an aggressive head butt, then he’ll prance around purring with joy, stop to make some biscuits, and then head butt you again.
Winston’s estimated date of birth is 10/11/23. He has been neutered, microchipped, and dewormed. He tested FIV/FeLV negative, has a negative fecal, and is up-to-date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines. His ideal adopter is willing to feed him a moisture-rich species-appropriate diet (wet food).

Mikey is an adorable black kitten with a perfect little white patch on his chest and the tiniest white tip on his tail—seriously, it's heart-melting. Born on 3/27/25, he’s the most mellow of his litter, with a sweet and gentle personality that makes him a cuddle champion and a playful buddy.

Whether he's snuggling in your lap or batting around toys, Mikey’s happy just being near his people. Mikey's siblings are Greta and Daffodil but he has also grown up with Sprout and Sam in his foster home.

Bio: Don’t let the perpetual grumpy face fool you—Centipede is a pint-sized ball of fun with a heart full of curiosity!

Centipede is playful, bold, and always on the move—hence the name! Whether she’s pouncing on toys, exploring new corners, or staging sneak attacks on unsuspecting shoelaces, she brings energy and entertainment wherever she goes. After a good round of playtime, she’s happy to curl up for a nap—preferably near her humans, even if she pretends she’s too cool for cuddles.
If you’re looking for a kitten with a big personality, a touch of sass, and an unforgettable face that will make your friends do a double take, Centipede might just be your perfect match.
Ready to adopt a little mischief-maker with a permanent scowl and a huge heart? Centipede is waiting to meet you!

Color: Tortie
Fee: $150
Status: Available
Bio: Furby is part of the fantastic four litter which includes siblings Jumanji, Ember, and Lenny. Furby is a gorgeous torti with a quirky personality. Furby and her siblings “speak” all of 5 of the love languages and would love to share them with a forever family. Words of Affirmation: she purrs loudly when you pick her up and snuggle – she lets you know you’re doing a good job; Acts of Service: she will keep your home bug free; Receiving Gifts: she’s always appreciative of a new toy (tunnels are a favorite); Physical Touch: she loves a good kitty massage session, and Quality Time: she’s happy to keep you company. Furby is good with other cats and kids. DOB - 1/8/25
Furby is very bonded to her siblings so it would be ideal that she be adopted with one of them. At the least, she must go to a home with a friendly cat. When separated from her siblings she emits mournful cries until reunited with them. She is wary of dogs but with a proper introduction should be okay.

Louie Oliver
Organization: ARPO
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Breed: DSH
Color: Black
Fee: $75
Status: Available
Bio: Meet Louie Oliver, a charming and laid-back feline gentleman looking for his purrfect forever home. This handsome boy is seeking a special someone who will provide him with patience, love, and a peaceful environment. As a single-cat household is ideal for Louie, he'll thrive in a quiet home where he can be the center of attention. While he gets along with children, he prefers a calm and serene atmosphere, making him a great fit for a child-free home or a family with older, gentle children. Louie has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but with proper care and attention, he can live a long, happy, and healthy life. If you're looking for a gentle companion to share your life with, Louie Oliver might be the perfect fit. He is neutered, UTD on Vaccines and positive for FIV,Neg for Felv. Litter box trained. His birthday is 5-10-21. Cats with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) can live long, happy, and healthy lives with proper care. While FIV affects a cat’s immune system, it doesn’t mean they can’t thrive. Many FIV+ cats live just as long as non-FIV cats, especially when kept indoors, fed a high-quality diet, and given routine veterinary care. FIV is primarily spread through deep bite wounds, meaning FIV+ cats can often live safely with non-FIV cats as long as they get along and don’t fight. The virus itself progresses very slowly, and many cats never show symptoms. With a loving home, low-stress environment, and regular check-ups, an FIV+ cat can be just as playful, affectionate, and full of life as any other cat. If you’re considering adoption, don’t overlook an FIV+ kitty—they have just as much love to give and deserve a forever home too! My DoB is 05/10/2021 (Estimated)
Alani

Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Breed: DSH
Color: Brown w/ white tabby
Fee: $75
Status: Available
Bio: Alani, the sweet and affectionate cat, may have lost her teeth due to stomatitis, a condition that caused her mouth to be painful and uncomfortable, but she's gained a special place in the hearts of those who meet her. This loving feline greets everyone at the door with a warm meow and a twitch of her tail, eager to share her love and affection. Alani is a chatty cat who loves to "talk" and engage in conversations, her soft purrs and gentle mews a joy to behold. While she may not be a fan of being picked up, she adores attention and will happily snuggle beside you. With her unique preference for clumping litter, Alani is a cat with distinct tastes, and she's particularly fond of a clean litter box - she'll appreciate regular scooping and changes to keep her space fresh and tidy. After having her teeth removed to alleviate her stomatitis, Alani is now pain-free and enjoying life to the fullest. She gets along wonderfully with other cats, enjoying their company and playing nicely, but she wouldn't mind being the only kitty in the house either - she's happy to adapt to whatever situation brings her love and comfort. Despite her toothless grin, Alani's beauty shines through in her loving personality and joyful spirit. She is spayed, UTD on vaccines and negative for FIV/FeLV. Litter box trained. Her birthday is 6-1-2023.

SASHA (RETIRED)
Age: 4 years (born July 28, 2021)
Sex: Female
Position: Director of Feline Activities (retired)
Status: Retired
About me: I love life at Nine Lives, especially at wet food feeding times! I’ll do anything for a Churu or SqueezeUp treat.
Playful? I am playful, but I really enjoy my naps, too. I am a deep afternoon sleeper! My latest obsession is walking on the cat wheel and complaining about the exercise I get! I’ll put on a show for you. I have been known to claim the wheel and smack any other cat who is on my wheel when I want to use it…
Good with other pets? Before Weeble was injured, my goal in life was to comfort only him and to defend him from interlopers (i.e. other kittens…I was a 1950’s parenting specialist, lol).
Good with kids? Yes, but I have some conditions. AVOID attempting to cuddle with me. I reserve my cuddle time for kittens and for Weeble.
Age: 3 years (born April 19, 2022)
Sex: Male
Position: Resident Love Monster
Status: Retired
I’m hard at work, playing with springs and hanging with Squidward and Sasha. I love interacting with all of the people and the kittens! I’m still a kitten, right?? Check out my posts on Instagram!
About me: I am an athlete who never stops playing! I give selected guests affection, including proper hugs (with both arms around your neck)! You can also tell that I like you if I give you a “silent” meow. I might also nibble on you…
Playful? I am playful! I love computer keyboards and try my best to follow letters on the screen. My favorite toys in the lounge are springs and balls on tracks.
Good with other pets? I love all the other cats! I like to play and do well with all of the cats. Because I am perpetually a kitten, I want to play with all of the kittens and can overwhelm the smaller ones. The dogs I see being walked in by our front window definitely catch my attention…but I’m not wanting them to get any closer!
Good with kids? Yes, so long as they don’t mind me spreading around all the love I have to give!
WEEBLE (aka Sir Weebs) (RETIRED)
Age: 5 years (born March 25, 2019)
Sex: Male
Position: Director of Feline Activities (Emeritus, Retired)
Status: Retired
About me: Yes, you read the right…I have retired! I made a lot of friends and cuddled a lot of kittens during my 3-year tenure as Director of Feline Activities at NLCC. I have recently become intolerant and downright grumbly with the little ones in my middle age. Life in the cat lounge isn’t forever! I have made the difficult decision to take an early. well-deserved retirement.
I will miss the staff and the many frequent human friends that loved me during my time here, but for the sake of my mental and physical health, I have handed over the Director position to Squidward. I know he will do a good job and I will miss my buddy, but my time at Nine Lives has come to a beautiful ending.
