My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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.

Dot and Moxie are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.



- Beautiful, sweet cat who will need a little time to settle into her new home



- Once she is comfortable, she enjoys lots of pets and being brushed



- Enjoys playing with her cat toys



- She is obsessed with wand toys and the laser pointer



- Likes to play with her bonded buddy, but will play by herself too



- She walks around her house yelling with the toy mouse in her mouth - it is hilarious!



- Once comfortable, she enjoys exploring new areas of the house and hanging out with her family and visitors



- Likes to drink from the bathroom sink or shower, and also enjoys a cat fountain/water bowl



- Will greet you at the door when you come home!



- This sweet girl was very fearful when she arrived in our care and has gradually opened up during his time with us in a foster home; she will be a wonderful friend for someone who can give her the time and patience she needs to become comfortable



- Young, noisy or busy children are too much for her, so she's looking for a calm quiet, mature home that's calm and predictable



- Will be a wonderful friend for a calm, patient person who loves the quiet life just like she does



- These buddies are amazing cats and will be a wonderul addition to their new home



All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
