My name is Clove!

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.

- Very sweet, adorable and just a little bit round!

- She loves to be petted and especially enjoys chin and cheek rubs. She'll even let you pet her belly once she's comfortable, and rubs against you to encourage more petting

- Prefers to lie near you, purring contentedly and kneading the air with her front paws - she's not a lap cat in her foster home

- She loves to play! Her favorite toys are wand toys, small toys she can bat around on the floor (especially if they rattle), and the laser pointer - she chirps in excitement and crouches in preparation for the "hunt" when the laser pointer comes out

- Enjoys having a perch by the window, and will dash to the window when she hears squirrels and birds moving around outside

- Prefers a cardboard scratcher on the floor to the scratching posts

- Young, noisy or very active kids can be too much for her (looking for a mature home)

- Looking for a calmer home with someone who likes the quieter life, just like she does

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