Persian kittens & cats in Hiawatha, Iowa

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.AllergiesAlfredo is a lovable and goofy guy with a very strong independent streak! He came into rescue a neglected and matted mess and required some TLC to get him feeling better and living much more comfortably. Alfredo is estimated to be 10-11 years old, he came into our care 4 paw declawed and as many declawed cats are apt to do, he will bite when he’s uncomfortable or mad as this is his only way to defend himself! This doesn’t happen often, but is important to share as he may not be well suited with younger children. Alfredo is happiest as an only pet, he takes a daily prescription medication for allergies (which he isn’t always a fan of) and he does need additional help with grooming himself. We have found that Alfredo is best suited to having a groomer shave him a “lion cut” to keep his fur free of mats and funny enough…Alfredo does best wearing a shirt or body suit! Yes, our little man is a bit of a diva and we’ve learned that keeping a shirt on him stops him from chewing at his skin. So, a wardrobe fit for a king will be a major plus in Alfredo’s eyes! Alfredo's adoption fee is $125 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations, and an FIV/FeLV test. Alfredo is seeking an indoor only home with adopters that have a history of having kept their pets indoors, altered, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a background check, home visit, and a vet history check. If you would like to meet Alfredo please fill out an adoption application on our website, adopthope.org.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2025, 4:39 pm

Lucille is a 10-year-old cat who came to us as a neglect case and, because of her past, requires a bit more daily care than the average kitty. Despite everything she’s been through, Lucille remains graceful, calm, and deeply appreciative of comfort and kindness. She is an elegant companion who would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home where her needs can be met consistently and lovingly. Lucille has a special fondness for soft, cozy beds and peaceful surroundings, and she would be happiest in a home that enjoys a slower pace and understands the value of gentle companionship. We would love to see Lucille spend her remaining years truly cherished—pampered, comfortable, and finally knowing the security she deserves. If you have room in your heart and home for a special senior girl, Lucille is ready to return that love tenfold.
