Meet Dora!
Dora came to us last summer as a teenage stray from the Portland Forge — a pretty rough place for a cat, especially one with week-old babies in tow. She was friendlier than the mostly feral crowd out there, so one of the workers did the right thing and brought her to us. She and her kittens got the full Dora the Explorer treatment for names, and a few of her crew — Swiper, Tico, and Backpack — are still hanging around in the rescue.

Dora herself decided cat room life wasn’t for her and appointed herself as a bookstore cat. Good call, honestly. She’s affectionate with most people, happy to share the couch or claim a lap, and has made her peace with Finley. She does prefer to be the only queen in the room, though, and has made that preference known.

She’s tiny. She is also not remotely aware of this.

A word to the wise: she’s sweet, but she has opinions, and she’s not shy about expressing them if you’re doing something she didn’t approve. Gentle visitors tend to be her favorites. Rowdy kids and sudden movements, less so.

She’s young — probably not even two yet — and looking for the right home. If you think that might be you, applications are open at www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt, where you can also browse all of our other available cats.

601 N. Charles St., Portland, IN
Tues–Sat 12–4ish, Fridays until at least 6 PM

It’s amazing to see so many people come together to support a great cause! ⛳️

Today’s Matt Aker Golf Outing brought our community together in support of the Matt Aker Memorial Charity Fund. Originally established to provide scholarships in Matt’s memory, the fund has grown into a self-sustaining program that now gives back to numerous organizations and initiatives throughout Jay County, including support for the Jay County Jr-Sr High School Girls Golf Team.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this incredible event. Your generosity continues to make a lasting impact across our community. ❤️
