Independent CAT SOCIETY

OUR MISSION

The Independent Cat Society is a non-profit, no-kill feline shelter serving Northwest Indiana since 1977, whose mission is to rescue, shelter, adopt, and promote spaying and neutering of cats.

OUR VALUES

The activities of ICS are based on its mission, to reduce pet overpopulation and educate the public while preventing animal cruelty and promoting responsible pet ownership and legislation. We work toward this mission through our efforts in Sheltering, Adoption, and Spay/Neuter in the Community.

VISION

The vision of ICS is to assist as many cats, pet owners, and community members in the Northwest Indiana and neighboring Chicago area and Southwest Michigan area as possible. To accomplish this, ICS:

• Provides a sanctuary for homeless felines in their transition to adoption
• Ensures healthcare needs are met for the shelter population.
• Promotes responsible feline ownership through educating the public.
• Addresses feline overpopulation through our various programs.

Every cat admitted to our shelter is examined by a vet, is spayed or neutered, and is up-to-date on vaccines and necessary medical treatment. Our no-kill policy means we do not euthanize cats unless a veterinarian advises it to relieve suffering, nor do we supply cats to any facility for research purposes.

The Independent Cat Society does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, religion, veteran status, or age (minimum volunteer age is listed) in its programs, employment, or activities.
