Story
My name is Kitty and I am a black domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 2 years and 10 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 12/08/2023 due to the fact I have never gotten along with the other cats in the home. They were my family for 2 years and 7 months. I am used to staying inside during the day and inside during the night. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door. I can be good with men and women. I do not do well with children, because they scare me. I cannot live with other cats and it is unknown if I can live with dogs. I love to play, but can be shy at first around new people or in new places.All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Cats are vaccinated against distemper and rabies, receive a flea preventative, are spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

My name is Edna and I am a brown tabby domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 7 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 02/06/2024 due to the fact my owner had too many other pets. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I will need an owner with some prior pet owning experience as I am shy and will need some patience and understanding from my new owner as I adjust to my new home. I can be good with men, women, and children. I would do best with children 10+ years old. I can be good with other cats and I cannot live with dogs - they scare me!All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms.

***Ross and Fiona are bonded, and they must be adopted together.***My name is Ross and I am a black domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 5 months old. I was found as a stray and a family has been caring for me, and the Ames Animal Shelter tooke me in to help find my forever home. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a high energy cat (just like all kittens!) and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door.

We brought them into our house to assess them and keep them safe until we could make arrangements for their future, since we already have a full cat household.`Ross` and `Fiona` got along well with our cats and turned out to be affectionate people-friendlySweeties. Ross is more relaxed and persistently curious, and he likes to snuggle on laps. Fiona is bolder and faster to explore, and she likes being picked up and petted. They enjoy grooming each other and are enthusiastic playmates. Chasing each other and batting crumpled-paper balls across the kitchen were favorite games. A pole-and-string feather toy was often pursued with lots of leaping
