My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HOW TO ADOPT: These cats are 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 these cats, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org.

Oscar and Ivan are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.



- Will stretch out to be picked up and may relax on your shoulders for a while before hopping down



- Enjoys sitting on laps and watching TV with you



- His foster family said he can be unsure about things sometimes and may hiss occasionally, but he usually calms down quickly and comes out to be petted



- Loves looking out windows and especially loves catnip!



- Spends his day playing with, talking to, and loving on his buddy; they have a very strong bond



- Looking for a calm, quiet home, and will need a few days to settle int his new home



- Young, busy children will likeky be too much for him, so he is looking for a more mature home



- Will likely do best in a home without dogs, unless they are very low key and show no interest in cats



- Prefers uncovered litterboxes in quiet, accessible areas



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