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.

---

- Large, laid back, independent kitty with stunning orange fur

- Welcomes lots of attention and love from his humans

- Children are too much for him (adults only home)

- Has lived with other cats but not a huge fan of them

- A lovely cat with a big heart who will be perfect for a relaxed person or family who will enjoy spending time with him and hearing his wonderful purr

- Looking for a calm, quiet home

- Will be a faithful and devoted friend

- May have feline idiopathic cystitis, a condition that can appear in times of stress (more info at ARL)

- This cat had been previously diagnosed with bladder stones, but the stones have dissolved and he no longer has them, thanks to a special diet that he will need to stay on (more info at ARL)

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