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

Gerald was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes on May 21, 2023. He 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 Gerald. Oftentimes the rescue coordinator at IACS would reach out to rescues privately without posting the animals publicly, so this was not an uncommon occurrence.

Gerald was rescue only because he had a fractured right femur. He was just 4 months old when he went to Humane Society of the Dunes.

When Gerald 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)
• 👉Nugget (7 year old Siamese, possibly needed enucleation, was pregnant but miscarried several fetuses)
• 👉Mochi (healing from dental surgery and toe amputation, heart murmur)

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 have come forward, and Jane Hullsiek has not been forthcoming with updates when asked previously.

Where is Gerald 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. Gerald would be about 2.5 years old now.
