Available Cats

Our cats come from a variety of sources and may range from indoor-only declawed cats to cats used to being outside to true feral (wild) cats that need to be 'barn cats'. When we adopt small kittens, we insist that they go to homes where they will be indoor cats (since they tend to survive a lot longer indoors!). Many of our adult cats, however, are used to going outside and it may not be possible to make them exclusively indoor cats.

We encourage all indoor-outdoor cats to be kept in at night, to reduce their chances of being eaten by predators such as coyotes. We do not recommend de-clawing cats as there are good alternatives to controlling clawing behaviors and declawed cats tend to develop more behavior problems.

Note: Currently we have many cats in our care. You must call us to check on space for new cats before bringing them to the shelter.

The following cats are all available now:

Lilly

Adult Female: Domestic Short Hair - gray and white

It took me a little while to get used to it here, but now I have adjusted just fine and just need someone to devote all my attention on!

Feral Cats

We periodically are asked 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. Feral cats must enter the IMHS program by appointment, as we do not accept feral cats except by pre-arrangement (we do not have the resources). 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 will usually be placed into the adoption program if deemed adoptable.

Shelter Services

The following services are provided for all IMHS sheltered animals:

  • Veterinary Examination and appropriate vaccinations
  • Sterilization: All animals will be sterilized prior to leaving (including all puppies and kittens)
  • All litters of kittens are tested for feline leukemia virus (felv)
  • All adult cats are tested for feline leukemia (felv) and feline immune deficiency (fiv).
  • The cost of housing and caring for individual animals may exceed $300. Our adoption fees only cover a portion of the real cost of finding new homes for these pets.
  • All newly adopted animals receive a certificate for a free examination and brief consultation with participating local veterinarians that is good for one week.
  • Persons interested in adopting animals should contact IMHS or come to a Saturday adoption display at the IMHS office in Pine Junction. Adoptions are based on suitability of the people and animals for each other as determined by IMHS volunteers and the adopting party.
