Story

We got her from ARL earlier this year, unfortunately our other female and her absolutely do not get along. She has no problems with the boy cats or either dog. She absolutely loves people and Loves going outside, but she is a wanderer. She does come back though but maybe start with supervised outdoor time if you go that route. I promise she is 100x more snuggly when she gets go out (and she is already very snuggly). She never meows except in car rides. She is great, the perfect cat. Please understand, we're not asking for anything in return for her except a good home.

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 or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org. ---- Beautiful cat that welcomes attention and pets- Her ideal home will be calmer and on the quiet side- Likes to roll around on the floor and show off her agility!- She will pick up a glitter ball and meow for you to come up and play with her, and also likes to bat at dangly cat toys- Enjoys her spa time while laying in the bathroon sink in her foster home!- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give her time to open up and let her take things at her own pace- Young children can be too much for her right now, so she's looking for a mature home- Will need a slow introduction to any cats in her new home - she may be happiest as your one and only tooThis cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nelson, Blaze and Terra are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a trio.- A playful guy who likes wand toys with feathers on the end and playing with his buddies - Likes snuggling up with his buddies in their cat tree - they all cuddle in a pile! - Very food motivated, loves food and treats - Young children can be too much for him; will do best in a home where everyone is old enough to understand and respect his boundaries - To set Nelson and his buddies up for success, please plan on starting them out in their own room where they can adjust to their new environment before giving them access to the full home This cat came from a situation where they did not get the socialization that house cats typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may be fearful in new situations and when meeting new people, may need help getting used to a carrier, and may never enjoy being picked up and held. Since this cat has lived with other cats, they may benefit from having another cat friend to help them build confidence and show them the ropes. You can find more info here about cats from hoarding situations and how to work with them to set them up for success. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 5.8 Age: 1yrs 5mths 1wks

To schedule a time to meet this cat, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org. ---Oscar and Ollie are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give him time to open up and let him take things at his own pace- Is not a snuggly lapcat right now - he's very independent, and will be a terrific cat for someone looking for a cat as a companion to love and care forThis 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 or months 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!
