Our Featured Pet...
We are now doing interviews with some of our cats, (through an interpretor, of course), so if you'd like to see what some of them have to say for themselves, click on the particular cat you are interested in!
We have Jacques, a year-old little boy with only one eye. He apparently had head trauma which caused the problem. He was less than a pound when he walked into the building we are rehabbing, but he is working on eight pounds now. His dead eyeball has been removed and he's doing great, ready to go home with the right person. If you are interested, please send us an email or call. Any financial help in paying for his eye surgery would be appreciated. Donations can be made through the PayPal button at the bottom of the page. Thanks!

Who We Are
Riley's Ark is named for a beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier who died at the age of 15 with cancer. She was so good with so many types of animals that we chose to honor her in this way. Riley's Ark is located in Harrison County, Indiana. Animal control in this county is often "if it doesn't belong on your property, shoot it." Most of our rescued pets live under foot in our home with lots of other animals and human socialization. We like to say they are "pre-spoiled". Cats and a 45-pound deaf Staffy dog are used to living together. When the animals live with us, we feel we are better able to assess each animal's individual needs.
Adopting a friend
Adopting a cat is a lifetime commitment. All adoptable cats have current vaccinations and been spayed or neutered except for courtesy postings, which can vary. As a potential adopter, you agree to maintain appropriate medical care and any necessary licensing, and to provide proper nutrition and housing for your new family member. If any circumstances arise that make this no longer possible, you agree to contact us and we will arrange to find a new home for the cat. A home visit may be required, along with references. A non-refundable $60 donation helps to defray costs of medical care, housing and feeding. You will find that we are quite reasonable compared to many rescues and shelters, and since our cats are kept under foot, rather than in cages, they are often better socialized, too. Please consider if you can't afford the adoption fee, how will you afford: A lifetime of food, litter and toys? Vet bills for yearly check-ups and vaccines? Emergency treatment, should it be necessary? Other expenses of caring for a cat?

We would greatly appreciate a donation through the donation button below. The money will help us pay for spay/neuter, vet bills, feeding and housing. It costs $5 a week to keep an average, healthy cat, so imagine what it costs to take care of the many cats who come in sick and/or injured. We go through 240 pounds of litter per month, 160 pounds of food, plus various medications! Thanks for your support.
