Story

Luna will be 3 years old on April 18th (Birthday 4/18/23). We got Luna as a gift when she was a baby. Luna has her Tetanus shots, is spayed, and declawed (front legs only). She has short greyish/white hair (darker pigments on her face, ears, legs, and tail). She has siamese coloring. She has beautiful blue eyes. She is a vocal cat (even seems to have conversational meows). She is intelligent, affectionate, and loves to be brushed! She prefers a traditional litter box. We bought a litter robot since we go on frequent vacations and trips in the Summer. We also travel for our daughter's sports. She does not like the Litter Robot and won't use it unless we put her in there. This makes travel hard for us as it requires someone to come over and take care of the litter box. She also doesn't like be left alone for longer periods of time. She likes to be near people. She is very sweet and can be timid around loud noises or people she doesn't know. She loves to cuddle at night.

Story

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 ---- Very sweet cat who welcomes attention and wants to be near her humans- Will cuddle up close to you when you sleep- She likes to look out the window to see what is happening outdoors- Her purr is very soft and will start almost the instant you start petting her- Is not a fan of other cats, and will be happiest as your one and only- Young, busy children will likely be too much for her, so she is looking for a more mature home that is calmer - Will be a wonderful friend for a calm, patient person who loves the quiet life just like she does- She will likely be shy when you first bring her home, and will need to be set up in her own quiet room at first, and then gradually allowed to explore the rest of her home at her own pace- She is a cat who will bond closely with her humans, and will be a devoted friend for lifeThis cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!This pet is considered to be in their senior years and may enjoy calmer activities and environments. They may also have medical or behavior needs related to their age.

Story

This cat is participating in our Camp Purr working cat program, which is designed for feral or semi-feral cats that would be happiest living outside as working cats. Adopters must provide shelter and food/water to these cats year round and need to be willing to work with our Camp Purr team to ensure these cats are acclimated appropriately and humanely to their new environment. Because these cats are familiar with the other cats they are living with currently, we require that all Camp Purr cats be adopted with at least one other Camp Purr cat. The adoption fee for each cat in this program is just $25, and all cats have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. HOW TO ADOPT: These cats are available by appointment only to ensure our team has adequate time to assist you. To get started, please answer a few questions here and a Camp Purr Counselor will email you soon. Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 9.44 Age: 1yrs 0mths 1wks
