We’d like to introduce you to a bonded pair we call “The India Cats.” An American citizen who travels abroad frequently found them during a trip to India. She couldn’t bear to leave them behind to a life on the streets. So she brought them to America, and then to Animal Ark.

When the cats first arrived, staff and visitors alike described them as stunning…and extremely skittish. In fact, for their first few months in our care, the presence of a human anywhere near would send them scurrying into their kitty condo, peering out with wary eyes.

Our staff gave the cats the distance they needed to adapt to their new surroundings, and the change in their demeanor has been extraordinary. Now the cats gratefully accept caresses while enjoying their meals. Their personalities are becoming as beautiful as their appearance and they’re ready for a foster or forever home.

Animal Ark understands that taking on two cats at once can be daunting. If the prospect of food, litter and veterinary bills times two seems daunting, then perhaps you’d consider fostering these cats. When you foster for Animal Ark, we pay all the expenses. All you provide is the love! Please call our shelter at 651-772-8983 if you’d consider bringing a pair of cats, and their fascinating backstory, into your household.
