Story
Bonded Sister Kittens! Pip (more color/darker face) and Goose (whiter/little mustache) are literal angels and very very funny. They love wet food (even the bulk stuff from Costco) and have an affinity for spring toys. They come with a water fountain, stainless steel litter box, automatic dual feeder, cat tree, and many many toys. Both can be shy starting out meeting people, but quickly warm up and get right to making biscuits on any lap they can. Goose is a pur pur queen and pip is a more silent and calm type. Both certainly bonded to one another so they would be a package deal, but are also like one single cat haha! They are both smaller and very well behaved. They love chasing eachother and don’t like loud noises. Due to circumstances changing, it is with a heavy heart that I must find them a new home. They are loved, and I can only ask that they find a home that loves them as much as I do.

Story
My name is Mj and I am a tortie domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 3 months old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 09/12/2025. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a typical kitten with typical kitten energy levels, and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I can be good with men, women, and children. I can be good with other cats and I can be good with dogs.My foster family had this to say about me: `MJ is so sweet! She loves to cuddle and will come sit on your lap or perch on your shoulder whenever you are hanging out around the home. She is a great low to medium energy companion cat who is great around other cats and is litter training.`

Story
My name is George, I am 2 years old, neutered, and FIV+. This just means I need to stay indoors and get regular vet care. I can still live a long, happy life — even with other friendly cats, as long as we get along! I am as fun and energetic as any other cat. I love following people around; you will never be lonely again with me in the house. I love to play and need lots of exercise throughout the day. I love to snuggle. I make cute silly snore noises! This happens when I focus really hard, or am about to fall asleep. I also have a special skill to offer: I will personally test all of your food for poison, this includes any meals, drinks, plants, and any plate you leave out! Before I moved to a foster home, I joined Ames Animal Shelter through their Third Chance program on November 6, 2025.I was the longest resident at my last shelter I have never stopped believing my special person is out there. I`m a calm, friendly guy with a big heart who`s ready to start a new chapter.Being FIV positive, I wanted to leave you with a resource to read more about me: The Best Friends Animal Society has a great page about adopting an FIV positive cat that you can see at https://resources.bestfriends.org/article/fiv-cats-faqs-feline-immunodeficiency-virus If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s been waiting patiently for his chance, I’d love to meet you. Come visit me at Ames Animal Shelter — I might just be your new best friend!
