About me: UPDATE: As Snow has grown up, he has really come into himself. He's very curious, and loves to talk to the family. If he wants a treat, he will let you know it! He loves to play and show off the new people come over.
Snow is full of quiet charm. With a smooth coat and a reserved nature, he’s the kind of cat who values peace and predictability. He’s been fostered in a home with children and handles the hustle gracefully, though he prefers to stay on the sidelines, tucked away in his favorite cozy spot.
Snow thrives in a calm environment where he can feel safe and secure. He’s not one to demand attention, but he appreciates gentle companionship and the comfort of routine. If you’re looking for a low-key friend who brings a sense of calm to your home, Snow might be the perfect match.

About me: Now Hiring: Social Media Manager for Mouse the Cat
Position: Full-Time Social Media Manager
Employer: Mouse, Gentle Observer & Professional Sidekick
Company: Purr & Knead, LLC
Location: Wherever the other pets are (preferably near the litter box during cleanings)About Mouse
Mouse is a shy, sweet, buff-and-white kitty with a gentle heart and a quiet, endearing presence. She prefers to observe the world from a safe distance at first—carefully watching, analyzing, and silently judging (especially during litter box maintenance). With patience and a calm approach, Mouse blossoms into a loving companion who enjoys gentle pets, cozy naps, and quiet togetherness.
Mouse is never alone by choice. She thrives alongside other animals and feels most confident with a trusted companion nearby—ideally her brother Clarence, though she’s open to expanding her inner circle. Her brand is built on softness, companionship, and subtle humor that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.
Role Overview
Mouse is seeking a dedicated Social Media Manager to curate, document, and amplify her life of quiet observations, cozy friendships, and low-key comedic moments. The ideal candidate understands that not all stars demand the spotlight—some simply glow when surrounded by others.
Responsibilities
Capture and share Mouse’s daily activities, including:
Observing other pets from a respectful distance
Supervising litter box cleanings with intense focus
Gentle cuddles, quiet purring, and companion naps
Highlight Mouse’s strong bond with other animals and her preference for paired content
Manage Mouse’s online presence with a calm, reassuring tone—no sudden movements
Produce content that showcases her shy-to-sweet transformation arc
Ensure no photo is posted without at least one trusted animal companion nearby
Respect Mouse’s need for breaks, space, and emotional safety
Accept that Mouse may contribute creative direction exclusively through staring
Basic Qualifications
Patience, empathy, and an appreciation for quiet personalities
Ability to move slowly and speak softly
Comfortable working alongside multiple pets at all times
Willingness to be silently supervised during household tasks
Understanding that trust is earned, not demanded
Advanced Skills
Ability to interpret subtle body language, side-eyes, and gentle tail flicks
Experience photographing cats who prefer not to be perceived (at first)
Skilled at capturing moments of connection between animal siblings
Willingness to let Clarence co-star frequently
Comfortable with the idea that Mouse may cancel content plans to nap instead
Compensation & Perks
Competitive purr-based salary
Quiet companionship
Occasional gentle head leans
Behind-the-scenes access to elite litter box supervision
Emotional fulfillment from helping a shy kitty shine
Paid in love, trust, and shed fur
To Apply
Sit nearby.
Do not rush.
Allow Mouse to observe you for several days.
If she stays in the room, congratulations—you’re shortlisted.Mouse is a paws-on leader who believes the best content comes from authenticity, companionship, and a little bit of curiosity.
Interested in meeting Mouse (and possibly Clarence)?

About me: Oscar is a former stray with a huge heart and an even bigger love for people. He’s a true companion cat who enjoys snuggling, being held, and purring nonstop. You’ll often find him following you from room to room, curled up on your lap, or sleeping nearby.
Oscar also has a playful side and loves fetching jingly toys and rolling around in catnip. He can be a bit feisty with other cats and enjoys wrestling, so he’d do best with female cats close to his size and with slow, proper introductions. He does well with calm, respectful dogs who won’t chase him.
Because of his social nature, Oscar would thrive in a home where someone is around during the day. Whether he’s helping in the kitchen or keeping you company while you relax, Oscar is ready to be a loyal and loving best friend.
Oscar is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV negative, and has a negative fecal. He’s being fostered in central Indianapolis. Apply to adopt Oscar at ARPOrescue.org

About me: Meet Spaghetti, a handsome gray and white kitten with the brightest pink nose you’ve ever seen and big, soulful eyes that seem to look right into your heart. He can be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a moment and he’ll quickly show you just how sweet and loving he truly is.
Once he’s comfortable, Spaghetti is all about affection. He adores curling up in a warm lap where he can happily make biscuits and soak up the love. He’s friendly and playful with other cats and has a special bond with his big puppy brother, whom he loves to follow around and keep an eye on.
Spaghetti is truly an all-around awesome little guy with so much love to give. He would be thrilled to be adopted with his actual brother, Lasagna, or his foster brother, Thug, and would make a wonderful addition to a lucky home.

About me:Fettuccine is a petite, sweet, and playful little tuxedo kitten with striking black and white markings and a mask that makes him look just like Batman. He’s full of personality, curious about the world around him, and always ready for a fun play session. When playtime is over, he’s happy to curl up for snuggles and show off his softer side. Fettuccine would love to find a forever home where he can continue his adventures, hopefully with one of his siblings who are also available for adoption.

About me: Zoey is bonded with her sister Mira, and the two share a very special connection. While Zoey brings the bold, playful energy (and proudly claims the title of K-pop demon hunter), Mira is the gentle balance—calm, affectionate, and always ready for a cuddle. They would love to be adopted together and grow up side by side in their forever home.
If you’re looking for a loving pair that offers both cozy snuggles and endless entertainment, Mira (and Zoey!) are ready to make your home complete.
