My name is Boots!

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.

- An affectionate cat who loves her lap time and being pet

- Needs to be the only pet in her new home

- Is an opinionated cat who knows exactly what she likes and what she doesn't and is willing to speak her mind - she will have you trained in no time!

- She loves her people and although experienced living with older adults, she would be fine with teenagers - young busy children will likely be too much for her

- Enjoys dangle toys (wands) especially if she can lay on a blanket or towel covered with catnip while a toy is dangled above her

- Likes to sleep under a blanket on a chair or couch, or on elevated places like a cat tree

- She prefers hanging out near her people or on a lap

- Front declawed

- Has good communication skills and will meow when she wants to be fed or wants attention

- She is a terrific beggar and will act like she hasn't eaten in years, however, when you offer treats or wet food, she will sniff the offering and then frequently ask "What else do you have?"
