Gordo is a lovable and affectionate kitty who will quickly steal your heart with his sweet nature. He adores attention and is happiest when he’s being petted or snuggling, often leaning in for more when the love is flowing. Gordo is very playful and would absolutely thrive with another friendly cat to wrestle and cuddle with—he’s got a lot of energy and loves companionship!

While he’s a sweetheart, Gordo is also sensitive and can become overstimulated at times, which he might express with a playful (but firm) nip. His ideal adopter will be someone patient and attentive, ready to learn his signals to help him stay comfortable. He can be a bit vocal when you try to leave him, as he doesn’t like being alone, and has clear boundaries with touches on his feet and belly.

If you’re seeking a lively, loving companion who will bring joy and affection to your home, Gordo could be the perfect match—especially if you have another cat friend for him to bond with! Be sure to watch the adorable head butt video in his bio!

Gordo's estimated DOB is 10/17/23. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on FVRCP and rabies vaccines, tested negative for FIV & FeLV, and f***l negative. Apply to adopt Gordo at https://adoptarpo.org/adoption-application/

Meet Milo, the ultimate big boy with an even bigger heart! Milo is bursting with personality and never misses a chance to show his love. He’s famous for his signature move, “big ups,” where he stands on his back legs to demand head pets—it’s impossible to resist his charm!

This happy, talkative, and affectionate guy adores catnip and gets extra enthusiastic about crunchy cat treats. Milo thrives on attention and will happily soak up all the love you can give. He’s a pro with litter box manners and absolutely loves scratching posts—especially flat cardboard ones (he goes through them faster than any other foster!).

While Milo is friendly with calm dogs and very tolerant overall, he can be a bit territorial with other cats, so he might prefer being your one-and-only feline king. He hasn’t met kids yet, but his laid-back nature suggests he’d do well with respectful children.

If you’re looking for a big-hearted companion who’ll fill your home with love, laughter, and plenty of “big ups,” Milo is your guy!

Meet Sylvia and Pasketti!

Sylvia is a spunky and adventurous kitten with an unstoppable zest for life. She’s always ready to explore, meet new friends (human and furry alike), and turn anything into a toy. Whether she’s batting around toys, climbing to new heights, or wrestling playfully with her foster sister Pasketti, Sylvia keeps life exciting!

Pasketti, on the other hand, is a sweet and gentle soul with a heart of gold. Though she might be a little shy at first, she quickly blossoms into a purring ball of affection, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. She adores playing with toys, birdwatching from her favorite window perch, and sharing playful moments with Sylvia.

While Sylvia and Pasketti aren’t a bonded pair, their playful camaraderie makes them an adorable duo who would love to be adopted together. With Sylvia’s adventurous spirit and Pasketti’s sweet nature, they’re ready to bring endless joy and love to their forever home.

Hi, I’m Seymour—a charming, cross-eyed boy with a heart full of love. My journey started at a community cat site where volunteers were feeding me, but I wasn’t doing well. When they realized I needed extra care, they trapped me, got me neutered, and decided I deserved a chance at indoor life. At first, I wasn’t too sure about the change, but I’ve adjusted beautifully and discovered how much I enjoy the comforts of being inside!

I didn’t have a microchip, and no one came forward for me after I was posted on lost pet sites, so now I’m ready to find my very own forever family. In foster care, I’ve really come out of my shell. I get along well with other cats but haven’t met any dogs yet, so I’m not sure what I’d think of them.

I’m estimated to have been born around 11/15/22, and I’m fully vetted, healthy, and ready to bring love to your home.

Get ready to fall in love with Fancy McIntire, a sweet, affectionate calico kitten who’s ready to serenade her way into your heart and home! This little country queen is as loving and social as they come, instantly melting into bliss the moment you pet her. Fancy adores being carried around, snuggling close, and showing off her gentle purrs and swishy, happy tail. She’s also playful and enjoys romping with her toys, making her the perfect mix of cuddly and fun.

Fancy thrives on companionship, so she’ll need a home with another friendly cat to keep her company. Fancy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, tested negative for FIV/FelV, and fully litterbox trained.
Her birthday is April 21, 2024. If you’re looking for a lap-loving, heartwarming kitty, Fancy is ready to make your home her forever home!

Hi, I’m Zena!

I’m a playful, sweet girl born around April 2023, and I’m searching for my forever home. Once I’m comfortable, my unique charm and playful nature really shine!

I love a good walk and do pretty well on a leash. I get along with dogs, cats, and respectful kids, though I can be a bit rough-and-tumble during playtime, so any canine friends should match my energy. Because I take a little time to warm up to strangers, I’d do best in a home with school-aged kids or older—not toddlers.

As for my breed mix? It’s anyone’s guess! I might have some Catahoula Leopard Dog, Beagle, or even a bit of a bully breed in me, but no one knows for sure.

I’m crate trained, housebroken, spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and HW negative.

❤️ If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an application at Adoptarpo.org, and my friends with ARPO will be in touch!

Meet Mocha!

Mocha’s story began when she was found as a stray near her foster mom’s house. After searching for her family with no luck, Mocha was taken in by her kind foster mom and given the care she deserved.

This sweet girl is incredibly vocal and loves to chat. She’ll meow at you for attention, food, or just to say hello. She’s a purring, smiling ball of affection who adores being held, scratched, and loved on. Mocha is happiest when she’s with her people—she’s not a fan of being left alone and will let you know if she needs company!

Mocha also loves perching on cat trees or stands where she can survey her kingdom. And yes, she’s rocking that iconic moustache like the queen she is—spare her the jokes, though; she’s heard them all!

At just 1 year and 8 months old, Mocha is spayed, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative, and litterbox trained.

Hi, I'm Zeke. I am looking for my forever home. I am a big people person, and I love to cuddle. I live with kids aged seven and up, and while I haven't been seen around toddlers, my foster family thinks I'd be great with them too. I'm a beautiful boy who was living in deplorable conditions in a backyard breeding situation. I was just neutered recently and am still learning that my amorous advances aren't always appropriate. This can make my relationships with other animals a little rocky. I live with several other dogs. Some of them I get along well with, and some I don't. As far as cats, I act kind of amorous with them as well, and they don't always appreciate it. But, my foster family said they've never seen any aggression from me towards the cats.
I'm about five years old and appear to be a purebred Boston Terrier, but I'm bigger than a typical Boston. I weigh about 22lbs and am still pretty skinny. I've been gaining weight slowly and still have a way to go. I'm crate trained and housebroken, but I will likely need a refresher in my new home. I'm also neutered, microchipped, current on my shots, and HW negative. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an application at Adoptarpo.org, and my friends with ARPO will be in touch!

Meet Wednesday and Pugsley Addams! These bonded siblings were found together outdoors, likely dumped, and are bonded furr life. Though a bit shy at first, with patience and love, they’ll soon warm up and reveal their sweet personalities. Wednesday is the braver of the two, seeking out attention and greeting you with her striking green eyes. She loves cozying up on the couch and scaling tall perches. Pugsley, a bit more reserved, will need gentle encouragement to feel safe. But once he comes out of his shell, you’ll be rewarded with his playful antics and charming mischief. They’re both big fans of scratches and leisurely lounging, and they’ll be sure to find you at meal times. They’ve also developed quite the reputation as expert (toy) mouse hunters! Wednesday and Pugsley are looking for a calm, quiet home where they can dash down hallways, chase toys, and retreat to cozy hiding spots when guests come over. If you're ready to provide them with a safe, loving space, they’ll quickly become the perfect companions. Wednesday & Pugsley’s estimated date of birth is Halloween 10/31/23. They have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, are FIV/FeLV negative, have negative fecals, and are up-to-date on vaccines. Their ideal adopter is willing to feed her a moisture-rich species-appropriate diet (wet food). They are being fostered in central Indianapolis.
