Story
My husband and I are looking to rehome our cat, Fry. We adopted him in December 2021 from a farm when he was 8-10 weeks old, he is now 3 years old. Fry is an incredibly affectionate and lovable cat who thrives on attention. He purrs the moment he gets any kind of affection and loves both playtime and snuggles. Unfortunately, due to my allergies and our frequent travel for work, we can no longer provide Fry the attention and stability he needs. He has developed some behavioral issues related to our travel/when we are away for more than a few days, he pees outside the litterbox. Otherwise, he has been a sweet and well-mannered companion. We believe he would do best in a home where his owners are around more consistently and can give him the love and attention he craves. If you are interested in giving Fry a home, please reach out-we would love to find him the perfect home where he can feel secure and happy!

Story
Cheeto is a very friendly neutered orange boy in need of a new home. It breaks my heart to have to find him a new home but my mother died recently and I am a student in Washington DC. He is a little bit shy at first but opens up very quickly and is one of the most loving kitties you will ever meet. Nothing delights him more than cuddling up on you after a long day. He will wiggle into your arms and purr louder than you have ever heard and make little chirps like he thinks he is a kitty-bird hybrid:) He is very chatty. He will talk to you about any and everything he can, he will meow, chirp and trill to tell you he loves you, ask for attention, ask about your day, and of course ask you for food. In addition to cuddling, he loves to be held and cradled like a baby and makes all sorts of happy noises when he is picked up:) He has been a patient at Ashworth in WDM and Mojovet in Waukee, both vets know him and will keep seeing him. Also, he's a lifelong INDOOR kitty, do not let him outside.

Tiger is a very loving cuddly cat if you are laying or chillin he won’t leave your side, he’s about a year old and loves to play. he’s very energetic and knows his name very well. he uses the litter box and haven’t had any other issues. he loves treats almost too much he will find a way to get to them. he hates being tapped/shut in a room so looking for a home where he has plenty of space to roam and do his thing and gets lots of attention.

Story
Hi my name is Pebbles and I`m 1.5 years old. I came to Almost Home with my new born babies. We went into a wonderful foster home where I could raise my babies in a less stressful environment. My kids are all grown up and now we are all ready to find our forever homes! I am a very shy girl at first but if you give me time and show me love, I will open up. I have been around other cats but I can be picky on who I`m with. I also got to live with a very calm dog and we got along just great! I am up to date on shots and already fixed and ready to go home with an approved application. I would love to go home and be your lap cat, will you love me?

Story
We found Coal when he was a little guy in Northern Minnesota he was at a Chinese restaurant and it was cold at night at the end of October. I tried to catch him because I didn;t want him to freeze. This was at a strip mall next to it was a car wash and behind there was a thicket (a dense grove of trees). I followed him for a while through the ticket it was getting denser the further we went. I was afraid that I wasn't going to catch him.I wouldn't have been able to go any further at one point because of the thick brush.I just stopped and he stopped and I looked straight at him and said you need to come to me or I;m not going to be able to get you I don;t know how that worked but he came straight to me and he;s been with us ever since. He;s a really sweet boy One of my favorite things about him I call the goat nudges when he wants to your attention he;ll nudge you like a goat. He acts very much like a dog. He;s good with kids dogs and other cats.He about 1 1/2 old.
