Story
Flik is a ten-year-old, female cat who has Feline Herpesvirus. We have tried L-Lysine and other treatments, but she still has daily sneezing and eye watering. She is an independent cat who only wants attention on her own accord. She really keeps to herself and is not an aggressor by any means. She will only get defensive if approached when she doesn’t want to be. She gets quite stressed when going to the vets, so she hasn’t been in a few years. This was a hard decision to rehome her, but we have run out of options.

Story
Oliver was found outside as a kitten. He’s just under a year old and is full of nothing but energy. He’s a bit skiddish around new people but once he warms up he’s really cuddly and playful. He’s fine around other cats but he’s never been around dogs so I’m unsure about that. He’s not neutered but has shown absolutely no signs of spraying or marking. He has the cutest sleepy face when he wakes up. He is very much a plant eater so you’d definitely have to careful of that! I’m only rehoming him because I’m not home much and I feel guilty that he sits at home with no one there.

Story
Zelda is full of energy. She loves to play with toys, especially springs, cat nip toys and balls. She also loves lazer pointer fun and playing with shoe strings. I originally got her to foster her and than she had kittens. She was such a good mom. She is really good with my other cats. And she will rub up against my neighbor when she comes over.

Luna

American Shorthair

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo
Grinnell, IA
Size

Details
Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna is a very shy cat who would do best in a patient home or as a barn cat in a heated barn. She successfully raised her kittens and is now ready to find a permanent home. With time and kind, patient humans, we think Luna will eventually come to enjoy human attention. Currently she will take treats from our hands but she does not yet wish to be petted. She does make eye contact and occasionally blinks at us. Luna gets along well with other cats. Luna is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines (FVRCP and rabies.) She tested negative for FIV and FELV. The vet thinks she is about 2 years old. In lieu of an adoption fee, we ask that you donate an amount of your choosing (sliding scale) to the animal rescue organization of your choice. Email, text, or call to set up a time to meet Luna!
