About Us
Midwest Pet Refuge is located in East Central Indiana. We help homeless, abandoned, stray and unwanted pets in Jay and surrounding counties.
MPR was formed in 2013 by a group of animal lovers who recognized there was a greater need than what our area was able to offer. In 2014 MPR was incorporated, and in 2015 was officially determined a tax exempt 501(c)3 non profit with a full board of directors.
In 2016 we opened Cat Tales Bookstore in a rented storefront. Cat Tales serves as a place the community can find excellent used books and also as an adoption center for most of the cats we have available. It has helped increase our cat adoptions drastically, and since opening over 1000 cats have been saved!
In 2021, we were able to purchase our own building, and we are now in our permanent location where we can save many more animals!
A completely volunteer run organization, we rely on fosters, volunteers, supporters, and donors to operate. Please help us help them!
