Butcher - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Portland, Indiana

Don't let the name fool you -- Butcher is a sweetheart with an adventurer's soul. He was the first to toddle out of the nest, the first to explore new rooms, and the first to decide humans are excellent climbing structures. He's friendly, playful, and brave in the funniest kitten way. Cat‐friendly, dog‐curious, and always ready for a new quest, Butcher will thrive with someone who enjoys a lively little buddy.

His mom, a stray now safely spayed, carried her babies to a kind person at just three weeks old, looking for help. He's been loved ever since. He's a sweet, social, cat‐friendly, and comfortable with dogs who respect their size.


Meet Our Fabulous Foster-to-Adopt Kittens!
Our young kittens are ready to go home now through our foster‐to‐adopt program. You take them home today, and the adoption is finalized after their spay/neuter surgery.

Our rescue requires kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a home that already has a young, friendly cat. Kittens raised alone often struggle with social and behavioral development, while growing up with another cat helps them learn boundaries, burn energy, and become well‐adjusted adults.

The adoption fee is $75 for a single cat/kitten and $125 for a pair.

If you're ready to bring home a pair of playful kittens--or add one to your friendly resident cat--we'd love to help you find the right match.
Apply today at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to start your foster‐to‐adopt journey!


Just a quick note--he's currently in a foster home, not at the shelter, so he won't be available for walk-in visits. If you'd like to meet him, we'll need to schedule a meet and greet in advance. Let us know what days work best for you, and we'll be happy to coordinate!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application. Completing a questionnaire on any other website does not submit an application to our rescue, you must complete one on our website.
If you have any questions, please email us at adopt@MidwestPetRefuge.com
