What does Indie mean?
/ˈɪndi/2 syllables

Indie is a clipped form of "independent," popularized through terms like indie music and indie film to describe work made outside the mainstream, often on its own terms and with its own distinct style.

Indie suits a pet with a bit of a free spirit — one who's affectionate on their own schedule and marches to their own beat rather than anyone else's.
