Eddie is a sweet, sensitive boy who’s still learning that the world can be a safe place. In his kennel, he tends to hunker down in the corner, watching everything quietly from a distance. But give him a little time and a lot of kindness, and you’ll see his true self start to shine. He loves to be loved — he just needs someone patient enough to let him move at his own pace. Eddie does great with other cats and tends to gain more confidence when he has a feline friend by his side, so he may do best in a home with another friendly cat to help show him the ropes. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will blossom with patience and companionship, Eddie might be the perfect match.
All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption. Our adoptions are done by approved applications, so you must apply and be approved before being able to meet any of our cats or kittens.
To be approved, you can apply in person or online at:
https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application
Applications can take a few business days to be approved and you will be emailed with communications regarding your application.
