Ms Cali was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes in June 2023. She was originally at IACS Shelter Rescue Team (formerly called IACS Rescue) and Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) before HSotD pulled her. The founder of the rescue is Jane Hullsiek and the rescue is based out of Chesterton in Northwest Indiana (NWI).

Ms Cali was “rescue only” at the Indy shelter because she was 19 years old, front declawed, and had been surrendered by her owner for house soiling. Because of her age, it was suspected she’d likely also need a dental.

Humane Society of the Dunes never posted any updates about Ms Cali. Did she go to a foster home? Did she get the medical care she needed? Did they find her a special adopter who could care for a “super senior” cat? They have recently deleted their Facebook page, and emails asking for updates have recently been met with rudeness and hostility, with no updates provided.

We are offering $100 for proof of Ms Cali’s whereabouts today. She’d be 20+ years old now. It’s possible she has since passed away, but if so, we’d like to know how her story ended. Please share to help us find out what happened to her.

It doesn’t matter that she is old. Her life matters and we want to know what happened to her. IACS had a responsibility to these animals to make sure that they went to a place where they would receive proper care. Humane Society of the Dunes had a responsibility to make sure these animals got the care they needed and found good homes. Did that happen?
