About Indy

Indy is part of our Camp Purr program, ideal for feral or semi-feral cats that thrive in outdoor environments. She'll need a committed adopter who can ensure she has shelter, food, and water year-round. To facilitate a smooth transition, Indy should be adopted with at least one other Camp Purr cat, as she’s acclimated to her current feline companions. Each cat in this program, including Indy, is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. This little black kitty weighs 3.6 lbs and is 4 months old. Interested adopters can apply by appointment only to receive tailored assistance from our team. Ready to bring Indy into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
