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 Ivan are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.
- Will stretch out to be picked up and may relax on your shoulders for a while before hopping down
- Enjoys sitting on laps and watching TV with you
- His foster family said he can be unsure about things sometimes and may hiss occasionally, but he usually calms down quickly and comes out to be petted
- Loves looking out windows and especially loves catnip!
- Spends his day playing with, talking to, and loving on his buddy; they have a very strong bond
- Prefers uncovered litterboxes in quiet, accessible areas
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 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!
All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
