Indy Feral is a cat adoption and rescue in downtown Indianapolis.  According to their website, Indy Feral “is responsible for the cultural shift in the city of Indianapolis to fix and care for the city’s stray, dumped or feral cats.” Katie Crossin, a Brebeuf senior, adopted two cats at Indy Feral through their barn cat program. “We went to Indy Feral to adopt one cat but ended up adopting two cats because they were going to euthanize one,” Crossin said.  

There are many places all over Indiana that offer pet adoptions, and it is very important to adopt, not shop, for pets. The pets and shelters are very grateful for families that give them another chance at life.
