Our Programs
WINTER SHELTER PROGRAM
We provide life sustaining shelters The Indy Neighborhood Cats Winter Shelter Program collects, builds and distributes between 1000-1500 cat shelters each year. Winters in Indianapolis can be tough on our community cats. Though they tolerate cold much better than many of our furry friends, cats rely on our shelter builds to provide them warmth and safety in freezing temperatures. See the 2023 Winter Shelter pickup date, times and locations!
Cat Food Pantry Support
We partner with Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside (FIDO). Nutrition is vital to keeping cats healthy. We understand that feeding large groups of cats can provide challenges. FIDO runs the largest pet food pantry in Indianapolis. Indy Neighborhood Cats helps fundraise for cat food and we are on site twice a week to assist with pantry operations. This removes duplication of effort and it keeps us face to face with community cat caretakers with the greatest need.

Thank you to IndyHumane for the partnership. Their team have shown tremendous leadership and guidance. In addition: Thousands of community cats in Indianapolis would go hungry without the generous food donations IndyHumane provide to the FIDO pet food pantry. IndyHumane rescue relief also helps provide food to caretakers at lower costs and helps subsidize Indy Neighborhood Cats mobile pantry program.
We are also very thankful for the Michigan Road campus feline team who provide dental and medical care to community cats at low costs.
