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

- Gentle, shy, quiet lady looking for a calm, peaceful home with someone she can bond with - Is a biscuit-making machine with the sweetest purr; when she feels safe she loves being petted behind her ears and along her back- Not into being on laps and prefers not to be picked up, but likes snuggling when you're resting in bed and is very loving once you've gained her trust - Has a lot of love to give and will be a wonderful companion for a quiet person or two who will allow her to settle in at her own pace; it took several weeks for her to become comfortable with her foster family when she was in a foster home, so please plan on giving her a few weeks in her new home, too - Young, noisy or very active kids are too much for her, so she is looking for a mature home- Has lived with another cat and may do well with a calm, laid-back cat in her new home- May have feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), but did very well in her quiet foster home and showed no signs of the condition there (more info at ARL) - Please plan on starting her in one room of your home and giving her quite a bit of time to become comfortable with that area and with you before allowing her access to larger areas of the home; this process will help set her up for success by not overwhelming herThis cat is part of our Silver Paw Pets program, a foster and adoption program for pets who arrive at the ARL after their owner either passed away or was moved to a care facility where they could not take their pet. If you're interested in adopting this pet, please visit the location it's at or reach out if there is contact info listed above. If you'd like to foster this pet or another Silver Paw Pet, please email Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org.- This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We have 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 will provide post-adoption resources, including our free cat behavior hotline (515-262-9503, Ext. 311). 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! All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Black Weight: 5.64 Age: 8yrs 3mths 1wks

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 ---- A very large, loving lady who will win your heart- Will thrive in a more mature home; young, busy children are not a good fit for her- Is not a fan of other animals, and really needs to be the only pet in her new home; if you do have another pet, a VERY slow introduction will be required to set her up for success- Doesn't mind having her tummy rubbed, but will let you know when she has had enough- Looking for a committed adopter who will help her lose some weight- Enjoys being brushed and will benefit from an adopter who will be devoted to brushing her and keeping her looking her best!All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Tabby Weight: 18.93 Age: 7yrs 4mths 3wks
