HOW TO ADOPT: This cat is participating in our Shelter Cat Getaway foster program, which gives cats a vacation from the shelter and lets them enjoy home life while they wait to be adopted. To schedule a time to meet this cat, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org.
---
- A very sweet and snuggly cat who is also very chatty!
- Loves chest/belly scratches and head booping
- She is tolerant of her fellow cats in her foster home, but may be happiest as your one and only (she is great at setting her boundaries with them)
- Young, busy children are not a good fit for her, so she is looking for a quiet home with more mature family members, she loves to just hang out with her calm family
- She will thrive in a calm, loving home where she can hang with her people and enjoy the slow life
- Not the most playful but appreciates a toy being thrown her way every now and then
- She will likely enjoy a cat tree/condo where she can look out the window to watch the birds, wildlife and neighborhood activity from the safety of her own home
This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
