3. Jack-O-Lantern

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 29 mi from Fort Wayne

Hi!! I'm Jack O Lantern and I am 9 months old. I am a friendly, affectionate, goofy and talkative guy that LOVES to play! Feather boys, springs, balls, mice, you name it and I will have fun with it! I also like to seek out affection and I really enjoy getting lovins! I will purr and purr and headbutt you for some love! While I do not like to be picked up and held, I will climb onto your lap for some pets when I want to. I also really enjoy looking out the big window and watching the world go by. Loud noises do scare me a bit, but I got some of my shyness from my mama: she is a nervous nelly. However, I am pretty brave and will only hide away from loud things for a short period of time before I come back for more love or play time.

4. Butthead

Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 29 mi from Fort Wayne

Hi, hi! My name is Butthead and I am 8 years old. I am a sweet boy that can be a little shy at first, but I warm up pretty quickly! Once we are friends, I will pester you for love and attention! I give the best head butts to let you know I am ready for all the love! I was recently surrendered with six other cats due to our owner passing away. We were mostly kept in the basement for the last few months so seeing so many humans is pretty new to us. Since I am a bigger boy, I am currently losing weight and have been recently groomed to help me feel so much better and like my true self! I do well with other cats and I would thrive best in a home with children that can respect my boundaries due to being an older guy.

11. Snickers

Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne

Meet Snickers — you might also see her listed as Sarabi, the name we knew her by before her adoption. She's a hefty, 6-year-old spayed girl with a lot of presence. We had her since she was a kitten until her adoption last year, and now she's back with us, currently staying in a loving foster home while she waits for her next family (weighed in around 15 pounds at her last adoption).Snickers isn't a lap cat, but she likes to be near her people — she'd rather curl up beside you or share the room than climb into your lap. Her foster mom says she'll stretch out right next to her on the couch, or claim the foot rest the second it's up.She's got a playful side too, especially when there's a bug to hunt down around the house, and she's settled in well with the puppy in her foster home — these days the two of them chase each other around.

Read more about Snickers

She was also comfortable being around dogs during her time at the rescue.Other cats are a bit more of a mixed bag for her. She got along fine with most of the cats here at the rescue, though she wasn't especially friendly with all of them, and there were a few she just didn't care for. Her previous owner tried introducing another cat, and Snickers wasn't open to it — though that introduction didn't get much of a chance before it was called off. With some patience and a cat willing to give her space, she may still do okay in a multi-cat home.She's easy to please on the small stuff. Any litter works for her, though her foster mom has found she seems to prefer clumping sand since it's gentler on her paws. She's currently eating 4Health grain-free, and she's a nibbler who grazes through her food rather than eating it all in one go.If you're looking for a substantial, steady girl who wants company without needing constant attention, Snickers would love to meet you. Her adoption fee is $75.If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.

20. Pinocchio

Adult · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne

Pinocchio came to us back in 2024 as a tiny one‑month‑old kitten, and he’s been in foster care ever since. His long stay is due to ongoing medical issues that required careful monitoring and a very consistent routine. He essentially has megaesophagus—or something extremely similar—even if it was never formally diagnosed. The treatment approach fits his symptoms, and it has helped him stay stable.Pinocchio is a cat who likes things on his terms. When he’s asked to do something he doesn’t want to do, he can get cranky or a bit belligerent. His foster has always respected those boundaries, but during a nail trim recently he very forcefully showed his opinion.

Read more about Pinocchio

Because of this, Pinocchio is not a good fit for a home with children and will need an adopter comfortable with a cat who communicates clearly when he’s overwhelmed.His feeding routine is essential. He eats Kirkland Pate, smashed with a fork and mixed with an electrolyte/water blend until it’s very soupy. He eats from a raised platform about six inches high. He is only vocal during meals, and while he used to struggle with severe regurgitation, he now rarely does. When he does have an issue, it’s occasional vomiting rather than the chronic regurgitation he had before.Pinocchio prefers a quiet, predictable environment. He will occasionally play with a foster cat friend, but he mostly enjoys doing his own thing and doesn’t seek out a lot of social interaction from other animals.Pinocchio needs an adopter with patience, experience, and a willingness to maintain the feeding routine that keeps him stable. In the right home—one that understands his boundaries and medical needs—he can continue to thrive.Adoption fee: $75 Apply today at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt Adoption includes: spay/neuter, microchip, FVRCP vaccine(s), rabies vaccine, flea prevention, and deworming medication. Just a quick note—he's currently in a foster home, not at the shelter, so he won't be available for walk-in visits. If you'd like to meet him, we'll need to schedule a meet and greet in advance.

29. Mouse

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 47 mi from Fort Wayne

Meet Mouse!Mouse is almost 6 months old and has had a rough start. She was found as a scared, very sick feral kitten at the Portland Forge, and some kind employees brought her to us. She went to foster care for a while. Now she's spayed and ready for her forever home.The virus she caught before she got to us did a real number on her eyes. She is visually impaired from it, but she does have some limited vision. Her inner eyelids will stay over her eyes for life, which gives her a look that is entirely her own. Indoor cats live very well with limited vision, though, and Mouse has already figured out how to find the most comfortable spot in any room.Because of her feral beginnings, she's still a little scared and skittish at times.

Read more about Mouse

Once she trusts you, she loves pets. She also sleeps in the most ridiculous ways: leg stuck straight out, flat on her back in the hammock, wedged into a corner like she's trying to hide from the furniture. Mouse would do best in an indoor home with older children. She hasn't been around dogs.She has a best friend named Dove, a gray and white medium hair who came from the same place just as sick. Dove recently lost an eye to a similar virus. Dove is adorable and would love to go along with Mouse, and she’s a bit less skittish too. If you want to adopt them together, it's $125 for both. Mouse on her own is $75.Applications are at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.

Why adopt an adult cat in Fort Wayne

An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.

Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
