Tabby kittens & cats in Ames, Iowa

Frankie is a very loving, sweet cat. She is 11 years old and she's been raised around little children! She loves to snuggle and play, to listen to the birds and venture outside if you let her. She likes to go outside on the deck for fresh air, but won't run away and likes to stay close. She loves to play with string and noisy wrappers. She's amazing with kids and even dogs, given the chance to get to know them. Her favorite wet food is Sheba and dry food is Purina soft morsels, chicken or salmon. She loves to be groomed and never fusses about nail trims! She's very tame. Our other cats are ganging up on her and torturing her. She is terrified everyday. We fear her quality of life is put in jeopardy and it is unsafe living conditions for her. She needs a loving home where she can live in peace. 🕊️ She has been given a very good home, extremely well mannered and house trained. We hope we can find a loving new home for her! Thank you for taking the time to read!

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.

Banana is approximately 6 years old. I've had her her whole life. She's very affectionate and spayed. She's one of 3 cats I kept when I had to leave my farm. This is a hard decision but she deserves to be in a home, not the tiny RV we've been forced to live in for the last year. I think being cooped up when she used to be able to go outside whenever she wanted, is taking a toll on her. I don't know when our situation will get better but I don't want her to get sick and die. She gets along with some animals, depending on their temperment. She's box trained. I named her Banana because of the yellowish hue on her fur. Please help me save my baby.

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.
