Paws On My Heart, Inc.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Indiana-based, feline rescue group. We always have many available cats up for adoption.

We are mostly foster-based, but we have some kitties staying in Carmel at Petco and at Pawz Pet Cafe, and in Kokomo at Pet Supplies Plus! ***ALL AVAILABLE CATS***

***ADOPTION PROCESS and APPLICATION***
www.pawsonmyheartinc.org/adopt

Our cats are all spayed/neutered, m

icrochipped, up-to-date on their FVRCP (distemper) vaccines, and given general de-wormer. Most of our cats are FeLV/FIV tested, and rabies shots are given to most cats over 3 months old. Since we are a foster-based rescue, most of them are with a foster but there are always many the Carmel Petco Adoption Room (off 116th & Keystone) AND at Pawz Pet Cafe. For the foster cats, meetings can be arranged to meet the kitty of your dreams!

***We also bring in new groups of cats and kittens to Petco most Saturdays!!!!*** Come meet our furry friends, wonderful volunteers, and head Cat Rescue Lady, Martha Strong.

*Please do NOT contact Petco for any inquiries*

We work in Hamilton, Marion, and Delaware Counties, and many places in between. We do NOT support or allow declawing of our cats. We often have cats that come to us already declawed and can consider placing them in a family that prefers a declaw. Declawing often leads to behavior issues such as aggression and improper litter box habits, as well as stress on the cats’ feet and legs. We offer free nail trims for our adoptees at the Carmel Petco most Saturday afternoons. Our rescue's cats and kittens have led a mostly difficult life, so we require them to be indoor cats. Our adoption application includes our rescue's terms and policies. If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].

We have need for fosters.

There are three eight week old kittens that are going to be given away on Facebook or to anyone who will take them. They have not been fixed yet but if you can foster them, they will have been tested, vaccinated, given flea meds, and will give you lots of love and entertainment.
There is also a pregnant mama who is ready to deliver. She is outside. The people say that they have a shed that she could go into but she's not doing that. If she has her babies outside, they most likely will not survive because they can't stay warm enough. Mama will need to look for food and leave them alone for a while.

If you have applied to be a foster in the past and we have not contact you, please text Martha and give her your name and let her know if you are able to care for either of these families. Her number is 765-730-0679.

Big… Orange…. Handsome… Neutered… Likes calm dogs

And his name is SUNNY! It’s hard to find sun here every day, but this guy could be yours!! Now, Sunny has tested positive for feline leukemia but he is healthy and it may not affect his life - ever. It could make him more likely to catch a cold, but so far it has not. This big, lovable boy is anout 6 years old. Oh wait, he has just one little quirk of high maintenance- he prefers ice in his water!! Look at his pleading face and think about finding a warm place in your home that needs an orange tabby kitty. He has been waiting for two years and has special hopes to be forever home for the holidays.

WANTED… Car enthusiast/Cat enthusiast

You see our rescue has this adorable cat name LUGNUT. He has been with us since May. Lugnut has floated between Petco, Pawz Pet Cafe, and foster homes looking for his forever family. He’s a big boy, handsome and charming. Maybe his name is a hindrance. What else could it be?! So today he is about to return from a foster home and back to another public setting where more people will be visiting. He is 2 1/2. He has many years of love and auto mechanics advice to share with a special someone. Do you have a place for him? A window for bird-watching? An extra plate of food? Some head scratches?? He says he’s a Colts fan too!

Foster found!!

Foster needed!!!!

Paws on my Heart Rescue is taking in a pregnant mama cat ready to deliver soon. Would you, could you give her a safe and warm place to have her family? Did you know that a mama cat of any color can deliver any colors of kittens? It’s one of nature’s mysteries and you would have a front row seat!! Transfer could be very soon. Oh and you would also name mama and her babies🐈.
