Our very own songstress, Mary J. Blige started her own shelter journey in 2017. What’s the 411? She came through our coalition partner, Animal Care and Control and was adopted after. Once again she hit the charts in 2021, this time being transferred to us as a stray. Among Blige’s most popular Meows to date are “Family Affair”, “Real Love”, “Not Gon’ Cry” and “Be Without You”. It’s obvious to us, because of her size and status that she was once a beloved house cat, despite her tipped ear. She’s not going to cry once you take her home though, unless you have other cats, because this R & B (rest and bites of food) Queen is a solo artist. Mary J. Blige is about 4 years old and is looking for a home without other cats where she can retire and give you all the love in her heart. Fur real though, Mary J. Blige is a superstar!

Found inside a garage at the end of spring, Kittiwake and her kitten, Gosling, came to us in rough shape. They both fought a month-long upper respiratory infection and a few other treatable ailments, forming close bonds with each other and staff and volunteers. Because of their initial poor health, Kittiwake and Gosling had to wait for their spay and neuter surgeries, and during that time, Kittiwake was a caring and sweet cat mom to her kitten.
When Gosling was eventually adopted, this young mom, barely a year old, lost the one long-standing constant in her life. She is unbelievably sweet, and easy with everyone, but as you can see, she’s a little forlorn for a purpose and a family. Finding a home and building new connections with a loving family would do wonders for this adorable little gal! Fur real though, Kittiwake is a true family kitty who deserves to get back all the love she gives.

You’ve heard the phrase: “Opposites attract”. This is certainly true for Moonwind and Siena! These two adorable Pit Bull Mixes are kenneled together and have a blast playing in the yard. Siena is a sweet and cuddly 2-year-old and Moonwind is a curious and independent 1-year-old. While Siena constantly wants hugs, Moonwind would rather explore his surroundings and find his next playmate! Moonwind can play a little rough, but Siena gets along with everyone and can match his energy level! These two don’t need to be adopted into the same home, but they would both do well in an active household. With both of them being so young, they still have lots of energy and will need someone who can take them on walks and play with them to work it all off. Fur real though, Moonwind and Siena are the perfect dynamic dog duo!

Are you in need of an adventure buddy? Well look no further! Clay is the purrfect man for the job! Clay is a seasoned adventurer who has mastered using a harness and leash. Clay is only two, but can nap like a geriatric cat, and plays like a kitten. He was once confused with a bag of oranges. He is a total sweetheart who doesn’t shy away at the face of danger.
Interested in learning how we taught Clay to use a leash? Here are some tips/tricks from Humane Fort Wayne:
- Make sure your cat is confident and curious. Walking on a leash will not be enjoyable for all cats. If your cat doesn’t seem interested or appears frightened, don’t force them.
- With your cat’s body size in mind, chose an appropriate halter with clips. No velcro!
- Fit harness and allow cat to wear harness for increasing periods of time, indoors.
- When the cat ignores the harness and walks comfortably, add a leash and explore the home!
- When the cat is feeling safe and brave, check out the front or backyard on leash, allowing for common sense and staying close by the doors incase loud noises startle the cat.
- Add more time and distance in your trips outside, never let go of the leash or leave the cat unattended.
- Enjoy scent walks and exploring with your feline friend!
By following these steps, any cat willing to answer the call of adventure, like Clay, can learn the joys of exploration. Fur real though, give Clay a journey of a lifetime and adopt! Fill out an Adoption Application today!
