My name is Blue!

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.

- A darling, loyal, and wonderful cat with a huge heart and so much love to give!

- A fun cat that enjoys his cat toys, and human companionship

- Needs to be the ONLY pet in his new home (he is not a fan other animals)

- Looking for a home with adults only - young, busy children are way too much for him right now

- Looking for cat-savvy adopter who can read his body language and give him space and time to unwind, if and when he needs that

- He will be a big-hearted friend for someone who wants a handsome cat with a lot of character to love and care for

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

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!
