IndyAdopts! Is a non-profit foundation in Indianapolis that was created to help support the cats being fostered at Nine Lives Cafe & Cat Lounge. The foundation’s mission is to help reduce the burden of over-crowding on our local shelters and rescues, raise spay and neuter awareness, reduce euthanasia rates, and dedicate our time and resources to animal welfare in our city. Without the love and support of our community, we would not be able to carry out our mission. Thank you for being here!
Adopting is one of the best things you can do.
Reserve your spot in the IndyAdopts! cat lounges.
When you adopt, you’re not just giving a deserving cat a home. You’re also helping to reduce the number of cat euthanizations in Indiana animal shelters.
