Tabby kittens & cats in Ames, Iowa

We took this cat from a home where she was living isolated in a garage with very little interaction - the previous owner felt badly and wanted her to find a good home. We have tried to provide this, however, one of our other cats cannot seem to get along with her and it's become a less than ideal situation for both of them now, and we feel like Jade would do better elsewhere. She is a sweet and affectionate cat, she loves to sit in your lap and cuddle. She is a very sweet and loving cat and she's never had any issues with house training. She will take a while to get used to a new place and she will want to hide at first, but if you let her decide when she wants to be social, before long she will be comfortable and will want a lap to sit in as often as possible. The ideal home would be a quiet household without kids.

He turned 2 on April 6th. I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old, and I’m saddened that he can’t go with me to my new destination. He loves to play with toys and likes getting his hair brushed multiple times a day lol. I think that’s because I’ve always brushed him since he was little and more so after being declawed at 5 months old… He’s not really a lap cat, but he does love going outside to eat fresh grass. He enjoys both wet and dry food, and Temptations treats are definitely his favorite. Most of all, he loves sitting in the window on his perch, just relaxing and watching everything outside.

My name is Tinker and I am a black & white domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 1 year and 7 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 05/01/2026 due to the fact I was not a good fit with the children in the home. My owner said I played too rough with them, and would sometimes get carried away and bite/scratch too hard. This can sometimes happen if a kitten does not have a feline playmate, or if children play too rough with a kitten. The child in the home was about 5 years old. My family originally adopted me from the shelter when I was a small kitten. I lived with them for over a year before they had to return me.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 high 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, women, and older children. I can be good with other cats, but I do not like living with dogs.My owner described my personality as very loving, active, and playful.
