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.

---

- Adorably round and sweet

- Likes to be brushed

- Is doing well with the other cat in her foster home

- She'll greet you at the door and is so happy to see you!

- Likes to roll on her back and have her belly gently rubbed

- Most of her preferred petting is "messy petting" - non directional & just scratches in circles everywhere - she raises her back end & purrs a ton. One happy girl!

- She likes to play with toy mice and toss them in the air, and also enjoys wand toys

- Likes to talk sometimes, and tell you all about her day and her very important cat life

- She wants to be with her people - she'll roam around while her foster mom is cooking in the kitchen, hangs out with her in the home office and while watching TV

- Not a fan of loud noises or fast movements, and young, busy (or even fairly calm) children are way too much for her right now

- Looking for a quiet home with adults who understand her need for calm, and she may do best with just one or two adults

- Likes to "graze" and nibble throughout the day with her food - her favorite is salmon-flavored dry food

- Has an adorable quiet little meow and will look deeply at you with her gorgeous eyes

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