Nugget

‼️$200 for proof of Nugget the cat’s whereabouts. Have you seen her? If you fostered or adopted her, or if you know something, please reach out.‼️ Please share this post!

Nugget was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes on May 21, 2023. She was originally at Indianapolis Animal Care Services before HSotD pulled her. The founder of the rescue is Jane Hullsiek and the rescue is based out of Chesterton in Northwest Indiana (NWI).

Although “rescue only” animals are normally posted by the IACS Shelter Rescue Team page (formerly called IACS Rescue), there was no post made by them about Nugget. Oftentimes the rescue coordinator at IACS would reach out to rescues privately without posting the animals publicly, so this was not an uncommon occurrence.

Nugget was likely rescue-only (not available for regular adoption from the shelter) due to the shelter vet recommending enucleation (removal of her bad left eye). Nugget was brought to the Indy shelter originally after she had miscarried fetuses. She was examined and x-rayed at the shelter but no additional fetuses were found. She had continued discharge from the vagina and was unwell, requiring antibiotics and fluids.

When Nugget left for Humane Society of the Dunes, Jane pulled 3 other cats from IACS on the same day:

• 👉Jill (10 years old, persistent URI and bad teeth)
• 👉Gerald (4 months old, fractured right femur)
• 👉Mochi (healing from dental surgery and toe amputation, heart murmur)
• ⏰We have not yet posted Jill or Gerald because they were never posted by the IACS Rescue page either and we were waiting on their medical history public records requests to arrive

After these cats went to Humane Society of the Dunes, no updates were ever posted about any of them. They went to the rescue with no accompanying pledges because none of them had been posted by IACS. Even though Jane took in several cats who would need further vet care that day, she never posted any fundraisers for their care.

No fosters or adopters of any of these cats (nor any other IACS animals that went to HSotD) have come forward, and Jane Hullsiek has not been forthcoming with updates when asked previously.

Where is Nugget today? There is $200* available to anyone who knows the answer to that question and is willing to provide some proof. It’s never too late to tell the truth. Nugget would be about 9 years old now, and missing her left eye.
