Description Skye
Skye
I was a 3-month-old orphan when I first set paw at the HSHC. Don't you think I was a cutie-patootie? I was quickly adopted and lived with my owner for a year and a half, until he surrendered me back to the HSHC in August 2025. As an orphaned kitten, I missed out on the education and discipline a mother cat provides, so I never learned how to control my urges to stalk and chase. Like all kitties, I have a strong prey drive and plenty of energy! To help me shine, I need lots of interactive play with my humans-puzzle toys with treats, laser pointers, and feather wands are all my favorites for burning energy. In early October, I moved to a foster home, where I worked hard on my social skills. Now 2.5 years old, I'm spayed, use my litter box flawlessly, and am BFFs with my human foster sister-her lap is the best spot! Because my paws were declawed by a previous owner, my swats and slaps are pretty harmless, even when I'm frustrated. I'm fascinated by the resident cat, and I do my best to get him to play; when we both play with a wand toy, we get along great. At first, I would nip if I was scared or overwhelmed, but that's behind me now-I speak up vocally instead. My foster family says I'm a sweetheart who deserves a loving, patient forever home. As far as I'm concerned, the Skye's the limit for lovable kitty cats! 1-12-26

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
