ICS Sweethearts Contest!

First place winner is Jacob!

His statement: "I would like to thank my campaign manager, Connie and all the people who voted for me. A special shout out to all the people on the Indy Feral list who stepped up and voted. And to all the cats who will be neutered thanks to my win......I feel for you, dudes, but it has to be done. It's Hip to be SNIPPED!"

First Runner Up and Ms. Congeniality is Twinky!

Her statement, as told to Marti: Twinky asked me to pass along that she sincerely appreciates the contributions from her loyal supporters. She realizes that one's 15 minutess of fame is fleeting, but feels that her reign as the "Sweetest Cat of them All" shifted to another due to the use of technology! She is not bitter, it was a good competition, besides that fella Jacob is a real "looker"!

Second Runner Up and Mr. Congeniality is Stripes!

His statement: My good friend and campaign manager Chris did a fantastic job, and we had a good run. If anybody would like to console me with treats, I'm located in the suite on the lower right behind the desk!

Why adopt a kitten from ICS?

When you adopt a kitten from ICS, you get a new family member who has been lovingly raised in a foster home so they have the chance to be socialized and friendly. We will often have an idea of their personalities, because we take getting to know our kittens seriously. Often, you can even meet their mom!

You will also get a kitten that has been checked by a veterinarian for any health problems. If there are any, they are disclosed to the potential adopters. You know that your new friend has already been spayed or neutered, had all their shots, been treated for fleas, worms, or ear mites, tested for FIV and FLK and even had an identification tattoo or microchip! While they were in foster homes, they have been eating high-quality kitten food. When you take home your adorable little bundle of fur, they have the best possible chance for a healthy start. And don’t forget, you also get one free vet visit after adoption for a check-up.

We’re there to back you up if you have any questions or problems in the future. We want very badly for your home to be forever. If however, a problem arises that cannot be solved, the cat has a home at ICS.

Can you believe all of this is only $75? Even more unbelievable, you can adopt a friend for only $25 more! See why you should adopt TWO kittens.
