Gretal and pups on Pet Pals TV: You can foster too!
March 1st, 2011
Gretal, a German Shepherd Dog, and her puppies show off the benefits of foster care.

Gretal and her three pups were brought to IndyHumane by a good Samaritan. Through the Nonie Krauss Foster Care Program, Gretal and her pups were given a temporary home where they could nurse peacefully.
Fostering is a great way to get involved at IndyHumane. Opening your home to an animal in need provides a much-needed break from the kennel environment. Fostering is not only beneficial to the animal, it is rewarding to the families involved as well.
Most recently, Gretal and her pups made their TV debut on Pet Pals TV for a segment highlighting their story and their foster family. IndyHumane thanks Pet Pals TV for featuring Gretal and her amazing foster family.

Cat Adoption Special
May 20th, 2013
IndyHumane will be running a Memorial Day week special on cat adoptions. Select cats will have a $19.99 adoption fee for one week only – Monday, May 20 through Sunday, May 26 (the shelter is closed to the public on Thursday). IndyHumane adoption fees for cats are typically $75.00.
There are over 30 cats who will have this special, $19.99 adoption fee this week. Ages range, but the cats featured in the special are 8 months and over. Potential adopters will need to plan to place a hold on an available cat and return the following day to complete the adoption process. Adopters will also need to plan to go through IndyHumane’s typical adoption process, which includes filling out an application and discussing the animal’s history and behavior with an adoption counselor in order to ensure that each animal adopted will be matched with the most compatible family.

Before You Declaw
May 13th, 2013
Before you declaw, please research the procedure and potential effects on your cat’s health and behavior. IndyHumane receives questions every week regarding behavior problems in declawed cats. There have been several cats adopted from our shelter, declawed by the owner, and then returned due to behavior issues. Sadly, we also learned that one of our adopted cats passed away as a complication from being declawed.
Please use IndyHumane as a resource! There are inexpensive alternatives to declawing, and we are more than happy to help you protect your cat’s paws AND protect your furniture! IndyHumane’s Cat Advocate is available for FREE consultation regarding cat scratching behavior and how to safely trim your cat’s nails. For less than $15, you can purchase nail trimmers, catnip, and a scratching post at IndyHumane.
The Center at 456 N. Holmes Avenue offers low-cost vaccines, flea and tick control, deworming, heartworm preventative, nail trimming and microchipping.
OpenMonday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Tuesday: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
