My Story
Happy Summer! Kitten Season is in full swing again and we need to make room to get Moms and kittens (and older kitties too!) so we can get them fixed and find them homes!
Please consider adopting- especially some of our older residents! Remember you save TWO cats lives and make countless more cats & kittens lives better by adopting! When you adopt one cat, it makes room to save another! Win! Win! The kitties thank you too!
Kittens!! We have kittens! Lots and lots of kittens! We have so many kittens and they all need their forever homes! We have spayed females and neutered males kittens, all up to date on shots, most 3 months old and available for adoption to be indoor ONLY kittens from Griffith Animal Control/Treasured Friends Rescue in Northwest Indiana!
Kitten season always brings lots of adorable kittens that need homes! We have lots of adult cats that need homes also, but everyone wants a kitten! Everyday we receive multiple requests from people asking for help to take moms & kittens, but we don't have anymore room until we can get (serious) homes for the kittens we already have. Our fosters have kittens too, so we can't help anymore cats & kittens until you help us by adopting or letting potential adopters know about our kittens available for adoption!
Please look through the pictures of these cuties and read about them below. If you see one (or TWO!!) please give us a call at 219-922-1766 and leave a message to schedule a meet & greet!! Or you can fill out an adoption form ( link is on our Petfinder home page at the bottom.
Also, these kittens (and more!) will be available at Schereville & Valpo PetSmarts. And even more kittens and cats of all ages Saturdays ( excluding holidays) between 12pm & 4pm at Schereville PetSmart with volunteers from Treasured Friends Animal Rescue, who we partner with to help with the adoption process. If you are interested in a specific one (or pair) please contact us at 219-922-1766 and please leave a message, Thank you!

BLUEBERRY -ADOPTED!
***************************************
Please remember, a kitten is a serious commitment, please only inquire if you are willing to provide a forever home for these kittens. We prefer that you adopt two kittens together since it's better for the kittens to have a playmate, but we will make exceptions on a case by case basis.
Every cat or kitten you adopt saves TWO lives - the one you're adopting AND the next one we can take in off the streets! It's a win win!!
We worked hard to get these kittens off the streets to curb the homeless cat population, but there are always more and more kittens being born outside- sadly some of whom don't make it. This is a problem we can work on together though! You can help end the senseless suffering of cats and kittens if you remember to:
Adopt
Foster
Volunteer
Donate
Adopt-ALWAYS adopt from a rescue or shelter! Please spread the word and tell your friends and family to adopt too! Adopt don't shop!!
Foster- Fostering really saves lives!! We are always in need of fosters for cats & kittens! All you need is a little room like a bathroom for the fosters and some time to get the kitties to adoption events!
Volunteer-If you notice stray cats around an area try to help by getting them spayed & neutered!
Check for low cost spay/neuter and vaccine clinics in your neighborhood ( or contact us for more info) and spread the word that fixing your cat helps end the cycle of cats having litters and litters of kittens that suffer outside or need homes.
Donate- your time, supplies or money to Shelters and Rescues so they can continue to help homeless cats & kittens and support fosters. Food, litter, surgeries and medical supplies cost money and so many kitties need help!
Make an appointment to meet any of these cute kittens at the shelter or at PetSmart in Schereville today!
Please call 219-922-1766 and leave a message to schedule a meet and greet today! Or fill out an adoption application that can be found online at TreasuredFriendsRescue.org or follow the link from our profile at Petfinder (scroll all the way down towards the bottom of the page)

Griffith Animal Control, in partnership with Treasured Friends Animal Rescue believes in giving kitties that others wouldn't normally give a chance, like unsocialized cats, a chance at getting a forever home! Our fosters & volunteers work with shy and/or unsocialized kitties everyday to get them used to being pet and to show them no one will hurt them. However, when the kitties go to a new home, some will require extra time to get used to new surroundings and different people. Please consider this when adopting! Please, only apply if you are serious!
