💜💜UPDATE AND NAME REVEAL💜💜

We know you’ve all been waiting for an update on the cat stuck between the house and the patio so here it is:
After allowing her a couple of days to decompress she was as ready for ALL of the attention.
Our vet took a look at her and we’re happy with the shape she’s in despite being stuck for 6 days. She got all the usual vetting cats get upon intake with us and was treated for fleas and a tick she had hiding in her fur.
She does have a slight URI but that is to be expected after her ordeal. She’s on medication for it and doing well.
She is eager for pets and loves being talked to. She also has a big voice of her own which undoubtedly helped save her life!
She loves food and gobbles down most everything we give her, probably making up for what she missed out on while trapped.
We are very eager to see how much more of her personality comes out as she becomes more and more comfortable.
Now for her name:
I knew her name the moment I saw her:
💙Spelunker💙
She went spelunking and got stuck which, consequently, is why I do not go spelunking.
She is incredibly lucky she was found and that everyone did what they could to save her life.
We know we’ve said it over and over again but we are so grateful that Bargersville Fire Department responded to help us get Spelunker out of a rock and hard place.
**Trisha Sedam is donating the the repair of the concrete destroyed getting Spelunker out. 💙**
*I will answer some commonly asked questions in the comments.*
‼️‼️WE HAVE A VERY URGENT PLEA‼️‼️
We are on site at a home where a cat is stuck in a very small space between a house and a concrete patio. He is believed to have been down there for about 6 days.
If you are a contractor, know a contractor, or someone who can help with concrete please, please contact us ASAP at 317 914 4211.
He will undoubtedly die if we cannot get him out.
I apologize for our social media absence. Sometimes the world gets to be a lot and a step back is mentally needed.
Thankfully Bartok is here to make us smile and ground us with his happy presence.
For those who don’t know Bartok, he is one of our very special permanent residents. He came to us in rough shape and after stumping us for a while he was diagnosed with megaesophagus which is very rare in cats.
Part of managing his condition is to elevate his feeding and watering stations, however, Bartok likes to *challenge us*.
Here he is working around his elevated water bowls while also looking innocent and adorable.
The search for the perfect solution for him continues. 😂
A little catnip party featuring Carl, Bartok, Splinter, and Prius (who’s still looking for a home!) to end the work week.

May you (attempt) to be as excited for this week as Bartok is about lunchtime!
**Bartok is one of our special needs permanent residents. He has a variety of health problems that most likely stem from inbreeding. He is under the care of our veterinarian and is not in any pain/suffering. He is the absolute happiest and sweetest guy despite his rough start in life.**
Eve would like to thank everyone who has sent, is sending, or has dropped off food for her and Bartok.
She loves her Gravy Fancy Feast!

‼️UPDATE: folks did in text know Cindy and Debbie. You can find our update here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/7vD4NrK1zcdkYy4m/?mibextid=WC7FNe‼️
Do you know Cindy and Debbie?
If you do, please let us know by messaging us, emailing us at [email protected], or by texting/calling us at 317 914 4211.
While I was caring for our medical cats this afternoon, Cindy and Debbie stopped by the shelter looking for the book sale that concluded yesterday.
We had some donations we had unboxed and I intended to bring in after I finished with medical treatments.
Unfortunately, Cindy and Debbie decided since nobody was around they were just going to take some of this food.
They evidently didn’t care the food was needed for cats in our care and for clients who need the help for their cats.
So imagine my surprise when I finish my medical care and find food missing along with video footage of the donations being taken.
In broad daylight…with cameras everywhere because they thought nobody was around.
Cindy and Debbie,
I tried to immediately give the benefit of the doubt. I thought “If someone needs food and a cat carrier so much that they stole it, I want them to contact JCCC so we can see if we can help.”.
Then I listened to the videos and hear phrases like:
“They’ve got cat food that if they’re not here we’ll grab.”
“I just grabbed one because I wasn’t sure if someone was here.”
“Look at all this cat food. Take one, no take two. Ohhh, get that, get that one.”.
Then I was mad because you were shopping for things to steal and you kept taking because you thought nobody would see or hear.
You took things that were donated for those who need it NOW. You took things because you wanted to.
I’m just so disappointed. Disheartened. Blown away by the sheer audacity.
In the 5 years we’ve been here this has literally never happened and it’s just so disappointing.
Anyway, Cindy and Debbie.
If you could bring the food you stole back that would be gr
