Say hello to Vera!

Vera is a 4-year-old French Bulldog mix with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. She's an expert cuddler, professional snack inspector, and full-time comedian looking for her forever home.

Vera would thrive as the only pet in the home and would do best with adults or families with older children. She's loyal, affectionate, and believes that sharing attention with cats or dogs is simply not in her job description. She needs an experienced adopter who can give her the time and resources she needs to thrive and be her best self.

Fun fact: Vera is being posted by a cat rescue, which is probably the closest she'll ever get to working with cats. We appreciate their efforts, but Vera prefers to keep interspecies relations strictly non existent.

If you're looking for a hilarious, loving companion who will be your biggest fan, Vera may be your girl!

COURTESY POST: Vera is not in the care or custody of Cat Habitat Inc. This post is being shared on behalf of her owner/caretaker. Cat Habitat Inc is not responsible for Vera and all information has been provided by her owner.

Meet Cassie & Colby: The Dynamic Duo Has Entered Their Petco Era!

After spending the last few months purrfecting the fine art of being adorable in foster care, Cassie and her daughter Colby are officially available for adoption and have recently moved into Petco while they search for their forever homes!

Cassie (laying down) is estimated to be about 2 years old and the mom who has earned her retirement from motherhood. She’s sweet, adaptable, and ready to enjoy a life where she can be a cat and do things she wants according to her own schedule.

Colby (sitting up) is 4 months old and named after cheese, which is fitting because she’s equal parts sharp, goofy, and impossible not to love. Like many kittens, she’s curious, playful, and always looking for her next adventure. She can live with other cats, but she’ll need slow, proper introductions to resident feline roommates so everyone can become friends at their own pace.

The good news? These two can be adopted together or separately. They enjoy each other’s company and would do good together, but they aren’t dependent on one another and are both ready to start the next chapter of their lives, whether that’s as a package deal or in separate homes.

Stop by Petco and meet this mother and daughter duo. They’ve waited patiently through foster care, graduated with academic honors from the School of Being Cute, been spayed and vetted, and are now accepting applications for their forever families.

Cassie and Colby are ready to go home. The only thing missing is you.

Meet Dusty Rose!

She is a 2 year old dilute female tortie and a total trooper. Dusty arrived to us in January of 2025 after her owner passed away. Due to an undiagnosed/misdiagnosed ear polyp, she has what appears to be a permanent head tilt, even after surgery at Purdue University to remove the giant polyp. Now that we know she's not experiencing discomfort, her head tilt (from the aforementioned polyp) is totally adorable . Before the surgery, she had the tiniest, barely audible meow. She has found her voice post surgery!

Dusty needs to go home with experienced cat people. She does not like to be picked up nor does she like to be held, so no young children. She has learned to accept petting, but she lets you know when she's had enough. She does demand affection, but again, on her terms. At times, she'll come up on your lap, but even then, she's very busy doing her own thing. She would likely do best as an only cat as she hasn’t bonded to any other cats in her foster home, however she could potentially do well with a docile, chill cat. She loves to meet new people!

If interested send us a message for more info!

🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE KITTEN DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM 🚨

Not every lonely looking kitten has been “abandoned.” Sometimes mom is just out getting groceries and suddenly Jim from down the street has stolen her children.

Before you scoop up every tiny baby you find outside, here’s what to do:

STEP 1: Observe from a distance
If the kitten is:
• quiet
• clean
• sleeping peacefully
…there’s a good chance mom is nearby doing single-mother cat things.

Mama cats often leave kittens briefly to hunt for food. She will NOT come back if there are 14 humans standing around it

STEP 2: Know when intervention is needed
PLEASE help immediately if the kitten is:
• cold
• screaming nonstop
• injured
• covered in fleas
• weak/lethargic
• sitting in danger

At that point, the Cat Distribution System has chosen YOU.

STEP 3: Warm first, feed second
A cold kitten cannot digest food properly. Warm them up before feeding with a heating pad set on LOW wrapped in a towel.
And for the love of whiskers: NO COW’S MILK.
Your local pet store will sell kitten milk replacer, that’s the key!

Tiny kittens need kitten formula, not a latte.

Quick age guide:
- Eyes closed = under 2 weeks
- Wobbly baby stage = 2–4 weeks
- Walking, ears and eyes open = 5+ weeks

The goal is always the safest outcome for the kitten, and whenever possible, that means staying with mom.

If you find kittens and aren’t sure what to do, message our page. We’d rather answer questions than have another “I found this kitten and fed it tuna and oat milk” situation.

Here are Cat Habitat's 8 week old foster babies waiting to leave mom for new adventures at the Homewood Petco. It was a long day after a vet visit..nap time is happening. Come see us soon!

This is Cooper who sat in a dark corner of a shelter's small room. He came from an overcrowded house & months were passing at life among other homeless cats. Cat Habitat took him to their Homewood location at the Homewood Petco. Cooper loved showing his handsome self to customers & greeted them with his friendly personality. After some time, the perfect family wanted to take him home. Cooper now enjoys love & much deserved freedom with the family's other cats & dogs. This is just a reminder to think about visiting your local shelter & giving a lonely feline a second chance at having a real home. They will give you unconditional love and joy. So many need your help! Watch for another success story soon.
