Calico kittens & cats in Ames, Iowa

Spice is the sweetest cat. She is scared of everything, but she loves to cuddle. She wants to lick you anytime you try to pet her. She is terrified of all people and other animals, but the sweetest cat I have ever had. I have two other cats and it was stressed her out so much that she needs a new cat less home. She is 10 years old. She does not have any medical issues. I recently had bloodwork done on her.

If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.May 15, 2025, 3:44 pm

My name is Aretha and I am a brown tabby & white domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 1 year and 1 month old.

My name is Tadashi and I am a black & white domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 5 months old. I was transferred here from another shelter/rescue through the Ames Animal Shelter`s Third Chance program on 05/08/2025. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a high energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door.
