Cats Haven’s Spring Fling Paws for Art is one of the shelter’s main fund raising events. Founded over 20 years ago, the shelter serves the Indianapolis community by offering a safe haven to injured, stray, elderly, and special-needs cats. After receiving appropriate veterinary care, many of these animals are available for adoption. Each Cats Haven cat is spayed/neutered, brought current on all vaccinations, and microchipped.

In many cases, these animals need more extensive veterinary care, such as x-rays and surgery for broken bones and other injuries, and dental care. Proceeds from the Spring Fling Art for Paws event are used to pay for this veterinary care, as well as to buy food and litter for the shelter.

Cats Haven works in cooperation with other shelters and rescue groups in the Indianapolis area, and also runs a small pet food pantry for pet owners who cannot afford to feed their animals. In certain circumstances, Cats Haven will also assist a pet owner by helping to provide necessary veterinary care.

Cats Haven relies solely on donations to continue its mission of helping animals and pet owners in need in the Indianapolis area.
