HOW TO ADOPT: This cat is 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 this cat, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org.
---
- Friendly, petite girl with beautiful green eyes
- Affectionate kitty who enjoys being near her humans
- Prefers not to be picked up and carried, but will sit on laps for a bit (or longer!), once she gets to know you
- Likes to play with toys - her favorites are ping-pong balls and toys that make crinkle noises
- Loves to snuggle in a basket with a cover and a soft blanket where can burrow in and under it
- Likes her cat condo and the little cubby where she can take her naps
- Uses her verticle scratching posts well
- Does not seem to be a fan of other cats, so she will need a very slow introduction to any other cats in her new home to set her up for success
- We do not know her history with dogs
- Not a good fit for young, busy children
- She will do best in a more mature home with cat savy adults or older teenagers who can read her signals and give her time to herself when she needs it
This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
