12. Snickers
Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 28 mi from Muncie




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.

19. Wednesday Adams
Adult (11 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 34 mi from Muncie




Hi, I'm Wednesday Adams. I'm a pretty black cat with eyes that almost cross. When I was a tiny kitten and all alone, some people rescued me out of a storm drain. I wasn't sure about them, but it turns out they were really nice, and they'd give me great kitty treats, catnip, and Churu yummies. So even though I'm still shy and would prefer a quiet home, I did discover that the right person has a lap that I love to sit on, and I love head and neck scratches (just don't touch my back, please).
Please contact the shelter at hancockcountyhumanesociety@gmail.com to make an appointment to meet me.

24. Pinocchio
Adult · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed · 28 mi from Muncie




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. Let us know what days work best for you, and we’ll be happy to coordinate!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 Muncie
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.
