Hudson

❗What happened to Hudson?❗Please share so we can find out.

Hudson was at Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) until he was “rescued” by Jane Hullsiek of Humane Society of the Dunes in Chesterton, Indiana (NWI) on November 4, 2022. He was one of 4 medical-needs cats that Jane took from IACS that day: Hudson, Asher, Baloo, and Nancy.

Hudson was never posted for rescue on the IACS Shelter Rescue Team, but from public records requests to the Indy shelter, we know that Hudson had been hit by a car and had fluid buildup in his chest, possible internal bleeding, and broken bones in his face. Some of his teeth had come out in the accident and his gums were lacerated. Euthanasia was considered for him and it was noted in his IACS medical file that if he declined, euthanasia would be elected. The shelter planned to do skull x-rays the following week and noted it seemed his jaw was broken. IACS noted he was very sweet and enjoyed belly rubs, and that his open wounds were healing well. Before any further diagnostics on his skull were done, he went to Humane Society of the Dunes.

All four of the cats that went to Jane that day had substantial medical issues:

• 👉Hudson (broken bones in skull, dental issues from the accident)
• 👉Asher (eye ulcer, possibly needing enucleation)
• 👉Baloo (arrived at shelter lateral, not moving, dehydrated, was on the mend but still wasn’t eating well and needed bloodwork and x-rays to determine what was wrong)
• 👉Nancy (fearful, had FIV and a number of health issues at the shelter - UTI and anemia which had resolved, not eating much, kennel stress)

The only one of these cats that Jane ever posted anything about on the Humane Society of the Dunes page was Asher. She shared a photo of him taken in her own home, where his eye appeared to be healed. She never posted any fundraisers for the medical expenses for these cats, two of whom came with no pledges and the other two had pledges totalling $170. She never posted any updates about the outcomes for Hudson, Baloo, and Nancy.

We are still searching for adopters or fosters for the 110+ animals that Jane Hullsiek “rescued” from Indianapolis Animal Care Services between 2019 and 2023.

If you know where any of them are, please reach out. There is a monetary incentive to do so.

For Hudson, there is $200* available for proof of his current whereabouts and having a short conversation with us.
