The Tale of “Gutter Kitty”
Breaking news! The infamous “Gutter Kitty” has finally been captured after almost a year of roaming the neighborhood of Rose Park in Mishawaka with a piece of downspout firmly stuck around his neck. While it’s still a mystery how he got himself into this fashion mishap, we can all agree that he needed some serious assistance to remove it.
Our partners at the Meow Mission tried to trap Gutter Kitty for nearly a year without success. It seemed like this feline was determined to hold on to his new fashion accessory, but little did he know that he was about to meet his match.
Finally, one of their amazing colony caretakers, Don, held a stake-out in his garage with a pull-cord drop-trap. When Gutter Kitty showed up for dinner at his feeding station, Don successfully captured the fleeting feline!
Gutter Kitty was taken to the vet for treatment and surprisingly, there was very little damage to his neck – just some rubbed-off fur. After his neuter, he was returned to the park, free from the burdens of mating and that awful gutter spout!
Pet Friendly Services is proud to support dedicated animal advocates and cat lovers like The Meow Mission with free spay/neuter surgery vouchers. Together, we’re helping cats and ending overpopulation at the source! So, if you see Gutter Kitty strolling around Rose Park, be sure to give him a friendly wave – he’s now a free cat, unburdened by his former fashion accessory.

Go Nuts!
Craving more of the delicious nuts and candies you bought during the holiday season? It might seem a little nutty, but our Nut Sale is available all year long. That means you can order yourself a refill at any time! No matter your selection, your purchase will help us fund more spay/neuter surgeries for animals in need. Go Nuts ;)!
Don't Drive Without One!
For many shelters, spay/neuter surgeries are not built into their budgets. This means that they depend on individual donations and the support of Pet Friendly Services of Indiana. When you purchase a Pet Friendly license plate, you are supporting the work of 300 shelters and rescues across the state and giving an animal the best chance at a new beginning.
Already have a Pet Friendly plate, but you’d like to do more to help Indiana’s animals? Become a sustaining donor. Just $5 per month pays for a full surgery over the course of a year. We’re all in this together, and your financial gift really does help us help them.
