Hotel Bravo serves the Greater Indianapolis Community and is, first and foremost, a feline sanctuary;  a safe place of peace and healing where cats in need can rest, relax, and recover while waiting to find a new home.  And through coordination with our community partners, we can offer this sanctuary to the cats who need it most.

We offer singular care specifically designed to fit the needs of our unique guests. By working one on one, at their own pace, we can effectively focus on healing traumas, both physical and emotional. We can prepare our residents for their new lives, their new homes, and even their new families. And we can prepare their new humans with detailed information about their new feline friend; helping to build trust and forge lasting bonds more quickly.

Our mission can be summed up best by our prime objectives - Protect, Advocate, Educate, and Inspire. These objectives fall into two main directives or Initiatives - Feline and Human. Our Feline Initiatives are focused on safeguarding cats in need and helping them find new homes or placements. Our Human Initiatives are focused on promoting understanding and awareness, as well as offering the community a way to get involved by fostering, volunteering, or supporting our mission in their own unique way.

We See A Future Free from the Grip of Fear

Our actions today determine the fate of tomorrow.

And We Could Use Your Help!

“About five years ago, I met an epileptic shelter cat who would change the course of my life forever. Spock the Brave had been shelter-surrendered due to his epilepsy, and his condition was acute. As a result, his eyesight was limited, and simple tasks were often a challenge for him. But that didn’t dampen his spirit, his compassion, or his sense of humor. He fought for every moment of every day with fierce determination and a zest for life that was inspiring.

Among many things, Spocky taught me that we can all help in our own way, regardless of our current condition. Each of us can use the gifts which come natural to us. And by fueling these talents with selfless compassion, we can impact the world in legendary ways.

Hotel Bravo is a manifestation of this compassion, and exists to safeguard shelter cats like Spock the Brave. For I know that the meek have much to offer, and not all who wonder are lost.”

— Andrew Tribby, Executive Director

Fun Fact:

Originally, Hotel Bravo was the name given to Spock the Brave’s favorite hang out and ‘command center’; an antique clothes dresser with its drawers always open so his buddies could hang out too.
