Story
Glow is such a sweet boy, always eager to see you and spend time with you. He loves playing, cuddling, and Churu. He gets along well with other cats, and would probably do well with kids. Glow and his sisters, Twinkle and Sparkle (also up for adoption), are about 3 months old, and are fixed, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccines. They tested negative for FIV and FeLV. In lieu of an adoption fee, we ask that you donate an amount of your choosing (sliding scale) to Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids. Email, text, or call to set up a time to meet Glow!

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, Twinkle, Sparkle, and Glow (also up for adoption), and is now ready to find a permanent home. Luna isn't feral, and with time and with kind, patient humans, we think she would eventually come to enjoy human attention. Currently she will sometimes take Churu from our hands, but she does not wish to be petted. She does make eye contact and occasionally blinks at us. Luna would probably do well with other cats if introduced slowly. Luna is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines (FVRCP and rabies.) She texted 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 Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids. Email, text, or call to set up a time to meet Luna! More photos and videos of Luna are available at instagram.com/chortleton.kitten.academy

Story
Equal parts independent and cuddly, Twinkle is a little explorer who loves to play until she's exhausted, and then curl up on your lap for a long adorable nap. She is a quick study, and was the first among her siblings to figure out how to climb the cat tree and eat novel foods like Churu and Greenies. Twinkle gets along well with other cats and would probably do well with kids. Twinkle and her siblings, Sparkle and Glow (also up for adoption), are about 3 months old, and are fixed, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccines. They tested negative for FIV and FeLV. In lieu of an adoption fee, we ask that you donate an amount of your choosing (sliding scale) to Critter Crusaders of Cedar Rapids. Email, text, or call to set up a time to meet Twinkle!

Sparkle and her siblings, Twinkle and Glow (also up for adoption), are about 3 months old, and are fixed, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccines. They tested negative for FIV and FeLV.

Story
Hopscotch 🧡🐾 Orange Tabby Boy Hopscotch is a curious little orange tabby who marches to the beat of his own drum. He’s very much an independent toddler type — happy to explore, play, and observe the world on his own terms — but every day he’s showing more of his sweet personality as he comes out of his shell. Hopscotch enjoys playing with his foster siblings and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly kitty to show him the ropes and keep him company. While he’s not a fan of being picked up, he’s learning to trust and will come to you when he’s ready for pets, making those moments extra special. When he’s not batting toys around or tucked away in his favorite kitty house, you can find Hopscotch eagerly awaiting the best parts of the day: breakfast, snack, and dinner (food is very serious business for this guy 😄). Hopscotch is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with independence, a gentle heart, and a playful spirit — and who understands that the best relationships grow with patience and time. If you’re looking to add a thoughtful, playful companion to a cat-friendly home, Hopscotch may be the perfect fit. 🧡
