HOW TO ADOPT: These cats are participating in our Shelter Cat Getaway foster program, which gives cats a vacation from the shelter and lets them enjoy home life while they wait to be adopted. To schedule a time to meet these cats, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org.
Oscar and Ollie are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.
- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give him time to open up and let him take things at his own pace
- Is not a snuggly lapcat right now - he's very independent, and will be a terrific cat for someone looking for a cat as a companion to love and care for
This cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks or months for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!
