Caboose is a 7-month-old bundle of joy who got his name from his favorite pastime—following right behind you, no matter where you go! This adventurous pup is always up for car rides, long walks, or any activity that keeps him moving. He’s full of energy and would thrive in a home that can keep up with his playful spirit. Caboose is doing well with his potty training and learning quickly. Caboose is a very social guy and loves his fur friends of all types- though, he needs a little help with understanding his boundaries and would be sad paired with a pup who doesn’t want to interact with him back! He can be a little shy when meeting people at first, but after a couple of minutes of a thorough inspection, he will be your best friend! Caboose is ready to be the perfect adventure buddy for his forever family! Caboose's estimated birthday is 1/18/25. He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on his vaccines.

‼️Bonded Pair Alert‼️Extra fluffy siblings Paddington and Kismet are looking for their forever home!

Meet Paddington, a fluff monster with a heart of gold and a serious talent for turning ordinary moments into chaotic joy. With his movie-star good looks, playful spirit, and endless curiosity, Paddington is the kind of cat who never fails to entertain. Give him a tissue or a piece of paper, and suddenly it's a snowstorm. Leave a water bowl too close while he's in play mode? Prepare for the Great Wave of Meowgoku. Think your hair is done? Paddington begs to differ — and he’s happy to restyle it for you. Though he may be a bit reserved at first, once he warms up, he becomes a total lovebug, often curling up in his foster mom’s lap to soak up all the affection.

Meet Kismet, an adorable fluff butt with soulful eyes and a close bond with her brother Paddington. Behind Kismet’s gaze is a gentle spirit that carries the quiet wisdom of her feline ancestors. She's sweet, sensitive, and deeply discerning — a cat who understands that trust must be earned. At first, she’s like your grandma’s porcelain doll: beautiful to behold, but not quite ready to be held. However, with patience she will decide to grace you with her presence, allow pets - tentative at first, and then plop near you to sleep. She loves to play and snuggle with Paddington and has a fascination with slippers - either playing with them or sleeping in/on them. Kismet would thrive in a calm environment and would do best in a home without young children or energetic dogs.

Paddington and Kismet are like Frodo and Sam, yin and yang — a bonded pair who truly complete each other and are looking for a home together.

You can adopt Paddington and Kismet by visiting IndyAdopts' cat foster home at Nine Lives Café & Cat Lounge or through our rescue partner: ARPO - Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership

✨ Meet Millie ✨
Millie is a 4-year-old, 52-lb Terrier (American Pit Bull) & Labrador Retriever mix looking for her forever family.

She gets along wonderfully with cats and dogs, enjoys romping with her pup pals in her foster home, and has done great meeting kids and smaller dogs, too. Millie loves going on walks and adventures, though she can sometimes be a little cautious—especially around men—but she’s gaining confidence every day with the help of doggy day care.

Her foster family describes her as the perfect mix of playful and easygoing—truly a joy to have around.

Millie is spayed, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, house-trained, and crate-trained—ready to settle right into her new home.
🥰 Apply to meet her at Arporescue.org

🍂🥃 We’re just ONE month away from the tastiest (and cutest) event this fall — Whiskey & Whiskers 2025!

With over 100 whiskeys to sample — from rare finds to distillery-only pours — you’ll sip your way through Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and beyond.

And when you need a break from the glass in your hand, wander over to our cozy Whiskers Tent, where adoptable cats and dogs will be waiting to melt your heart. 🐾💛

Of course, no great whiskey night is complete without food — and we’ve got you covered. Think slow-smoked brisket and BBQ chicken sliders, creamy beer cheese with soft pretzel bites, fresh caprese and Mediterranean bites, plus cookies, fruit, and sweet little desserts to finish the night off right.
