Special Needs Pets

Special needs pets may have medical or behavioral issues that may require additional commitment on the part of the new family. The following special needs pets are all available now:

Kemper

Kemper is a 5-yr old brown tabby cat and has endeared herself to shelter staff and volunteers who love her! She is a large cat with a wonderful, friendly personality. Kemper was successfully treated for bladder stones at IMHS and now seeks a home where she'll be maintained on a special prescription diet, to prevent future problems. Kemper likes people and other cats, and may do well in a home with gentle dogs. She has been in IMHS's care since August of 2012 and wants a home to call her own.

Feral Cats

IMHS is asked periodically to help with feral (untamed and wild) cats. We have funds by which to test these cats for FeLV and FIV (HIV-like cat viruses) and sterilize them. We cannot provide these services, however, unless the trapping party or someone else agrees to take these cats and provide food and water for them. If you have a need for an outdoor barn-type cat and can help, please let us know. There is no adoption fee, but donations to help cut costs are appreciated. Feral cats must enter the IMHS program by appointment only. Any feral cat that tests positive for FeLV or FIV will be euthanized. Any cat brought in as a feral cat, but is really just a scared stray who is deemed adoptable will be placed into our standard adoption program.
