IndyAdopts! Is a non-profit foundation in Indianapolis that was created to help support the cats being fostered at Nine Lives Cafe & Cat Lounge. The foundation’s mission is to help reduce the burden of over-crowding on our local shelters and rescues, raise spay and neuter awareness, reduce euthanasia rates, and dedicate our time and resources to animal welfare in our city. Without the love and support of our community, we would not be able to carry out our mission. Thank you for being here!
Adopting is one of the best things you can do.
Reserve your spot in the IndyAdopts! cat lounges.
When you adopt, you’re not just giving a deserving cat a home. You’re also helping to reduce the number of cat euthanizations in Indiana animal shelters.

Despite his laid-back nature, Felix is a social butterfly (or rather, social cat!) who gets along purr-fectly with other felines.
When he's not lounging in the sun or napping, Felix's ears perk up at the sound of food being prepared. This lovable furball has a major weakness for all things edible, and his tail will twitch with excitement at the prospect of treats. With his affectionate demeanor and playful spirit, Felix is sure to capture hearts and bring joy to all those around him.

Breed: DSH
Color: Gray & White
Sex: Male
Fee: $105
Status: Available
About me: Jack Jr. is a lover boy who found himself outside on the streets. He was so hungry for love that his nickname became “Jack the Tripper” because he would run up to anyone and everyone outside to get pets. Jack has blossomed indoors and just wants to be near his people, get some scritches, and lounge around in a sunbeam. Jack is also playful and would prefer to be in a home with another active furry friend. He prefers to approach people himself, so would do best in a home with older, respectful kids or no kids.
Jack 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). He is being fostered in central Indianapolis. Apply to adopt Jack Jr today!

Just like her namesake, Miranda is sweet with a little sass—she’ll cuddle in your lap one minute and then be “settlin’ up” to chase spring toys, climb her cactus scratching post, or dash through her tunnel like she’s on stage at the Grand Ole Opry.
This sweetheart would love to go home with one of her “bandmates” (siblings Erin, Jon, or Lainey) or join a home with a playful young cat. She also gets along great with other cats and even the resident dogs in her foster home.

Tater Tot

Age: 4 months
Breed: DSH
Color: Orange & White Tabby
Sex: Male
Fee: $155
Status: Available
About me: Hi there! I’m Tater Tot, but you can just call me Tater. Like a true potato, I come in many forms — sometimes I’m a chill couch companion, other times I’m a whirlwind of energy zooming through tunnels, climbing cat towers, and battling around toys like a tiny tornado.
Once I’ve gotten my zoomies out, I’m all about the kitty massages — and trust me, you’ll know I’m loving it the moment you hear my happy purrs. I'm a little shy in new places at first, but give me a moment, and I’ll warm up in no time.
I’d absolutely love to go home with one of my sisters, Verona or Eden. We’re the best of friends and partners in crime — whether it's playtime or nap time, we do it all together. I’m a bit unsure about dogs, but with a slow and proper introduction, I could learn to coexist just fine.
Koi
Organization: ARPO
Age: 4 months
Breed: DSH
Color: Calico
Sex: Female
Fee: $155
Status: Available
About me: Koi is a gentle, cautious kitten who takes her time getting to know new people—but once she feels safe, her playful side shines. She adores chasing laser toys, batting around anything that moves, and will quickly come running if she hears the crinkle of a treat bag. Churu sticks are her absolute favorite, and they’re the fastest way to win her trust.
Though she’s independent in spirit, Koi relies on the comfort and confidence of her siblings. To help her continue to grow into a well-adjusted, social cat, Koi will need to be adopted with one of her littermates. This ensures she doesn’t develop single kitten syndrome, a condition that can lead to behavioral issues in solo kittens. With a sibling by her side and a patient, loving home, Koi will blossom into a sweet, confident companion.
