My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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.



---



- Independent, vocal and playful kitty who enjoys hanging out with her humans



- Enjoys being brushed



- Likes being petted on her head and back



- Enjoys napping under blankets when she takes her afternoon naps



- She's still very kitten-like and likes to play with string-type toys and her laser pointer



- Loves looking out the window at the birds!



- Would love a chill home where she can spend her days relaxing with her people!



- Not a fan of being picked up and carried



- Young, busy children are too much for her, so she is looking for a home with older children or just adults



- Needs a home without dogs



- Has lived with other cats, but will need a very slow introduction to any cat friends in her new home, to set her up for success



- Will thrive in a calm home with someone who wants a gentle, affectionate cat to love and care for



- Will likely be a bit shy at first, and will need time to settle into her new home, so please plan to give her all the time she needs



All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
