Adopt Kourtney: Sweet, Resilient Kitten Looking for a Loving Home!
Meet this brave and beautiful young kitten! She’s come a long way after battling a tough upper respiratory infection (URI), but with lots of love and care, she’s now ready to find her forever home. Though she lost some of her vision during her illness, her spirit is unbroken, and she’s ready to share her love with a family that understands her unique needs.
Name: Kourtney Age: Approx. 2-3 months Breed: Domesic Longhair Color/Markings: Brown and orange
Special Needs: Partial Vision Though her vision is limited, this doesn’t stop her from being a playful, curious, and affectionate kitten. She navigates her world using her heightened senses, especially her sense of smell and hearing. She may take a little longer to adjust to new environments or things, but she’s a quick learner and has the heart of a fighter.
Personality: This little one is shy and a bit cautious at first—she’s a sensitive soul who takes her time warming up to new situations, especially with other cats. Her heightened senses make her extra cautious in unfamiliar surroundings, but with patience, she will come around and eventually warm up. Once she’s comfortable, she’s sweet, loving, and has the energy to enjoy playtime and cuddles.
Cat Compatibility: She may be slow to warm up to other cats at first, but with time, she tends to get along just fine. Her sensory sensitivities may make initial introductions a little trickier, so a calm and patient approach is key. She’s looking for a feline friend who will respect her space and allow her to adjust at her own pace.
Ideal Home: This kitten would thrive in a calm, patient household where she can slowly acclimate and find her place. A family or individual who understands the needs of a special kitty like her and is willing to provide a safe and loving environment would be the perfect fit. She’d be best suited to a home with older children or adults who can respect her boundaries and give her the time she needs.
If you’re looking for a resilient, sweet kitten who’s ready to share her love and become a beloved member of your family, this little one might be the perfect companion for you! Come meet her today and see just how special she is.

The process starts by browsing the pets on our website or by visiting the shelter. If you’re looking for a particular type of animal and can’t find it online or after visiting our shelter, please try a rescue group. The shelter has a list of rescue groups for most dog breeds, and you can also find these by doing a quick search online.
Upon entering our shelter, please take time to notice all our animals. All of the animals deserve loving homes, and our goal is to match up the right pet with the right family. Please visit with staff about the behavior and personality of the animal. They have been taking care of the animal since arrival and generally know a lot about them. After a decision has been made, please return to the front desk and give the adoption counselor a tag number, name, and/or description of the animal you are interested in adopting.
Adoption Requirements
To adopt an animal from the Cedar Valley Humane Society, you must be at least 18 years old, provide a current photo ID, and have a verifiable address. If you rent, bring a copy of your lease agreement and/or your property manager’s telephone number so that we can verify the type of pet you are adopting is allowed.

Our Mission
The Cedar Valley Humane Society is dedicated to building healthy relationships between people and animals, and eliminating cruelty, abuse and overpopulation of animals through education, adoption services and inspiring compassion for all living things.
Animals we serve
We take in lost, abandoned, and owner-surrendered dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, ferrets, and mice. At this time, we are not able to care for horses, reptiles, barnyard animals or other wild creatures.

We place animals in new homes throughout the Eastern Iowa area. We provide animal control services to unincorporated Linn County and its municipalities, with the exception of Cedar Rapids, Marion, and Center Point, which have other animal control services providers. We also provide animal control services to unincorporated Benton County (dogs only), North Liberty, Swisher, Tiffin, Shueyville, Oxford, Walford, Solon, Atkins, Shellsburg, and Urbana.
