Calico kittens & cats in Marshalltown, Iowa

Magpie is a lovable, purr-powered explorer with a heart full of affection. Her signature squeaky, raspy purr never stops—whether she’s soaking up pets, sniffing out new discoveries, or just enjoying life. While receiving attention or while exploring, you're also sure to see Magpie’s tail puff up. Once she’s comfortable, her playful side shines. One of her most adorable habits is flopping onto her side and rolling around next to you, an unmistakable invitation for affection. With Magpie around, there’s never a quiet moment—just an endless stream of purrs and cuddles. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption.

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.

Chloe is a 2-year-old cat who may be a little shy when you first meet her, but don’t let that fool you! Once she gets comfortable, she’ll happily accept head scratches and show her playful, loving personality. Chloe is full of charm and has a lot to offer to the right person. She’s not a fan of being picked up and prefers her space, and she does not get along well with other cats. Because of this, she’d do best in a home where she can be the only feline. Chloe is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped to ensure her safety. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion who just needs a little time to warm up, Chloe could be the perfect fit for your home. Come meet her today and see if she’s the one for you!

Meet Coco! Coco is a sweet and playful 2-year-old cat looking for her forever home. Unfortunately, she was surrendered but is ready to start a new chapter with a loving family. Coco enjoys spending her time with her favorite scratchers and cat trees, and she’ll appreciate a cozy perch to call her own! While she’s cat-friendly, Coco can be a bit selective with her feline friends, so she’ll do best in a home with either no other cats or with other laid-back cats. She’s also good with children, but she thrives in a calm, adult environment where she can relax and build trust. Coco loves to play, especially with balls, and she’ll entertain herself for hours. When it comes to affection, she has a special way of showing her love—giving sweet little “love nibbles” and gentle licks. Her soft meow will melt your heart every time. Coco is spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped. She’s ready to bring joy and companionship into her new home. Could that be with you? Come meet Coco and see what a perfect addition she could be to your family!

Whether you’re talking to her or just hanging out, she’s always happy to “talk back” and let you know how she’s feeling. When she’s not having a conversation, Aurora is all about relaxing. She loves curling up in her comfy bed or soaking up the sun. She’s definitely a laid-back kitty who enjoys her peace and quiet, but she also likes to be close to her people when she’s in the mood for attention. Aurora is a bit selective about her feline friends. She’s okay with other cats as long as they’re not too in-your-face. If they respect her space, she’s happy to coexist with them. Aurora is spayed, up to date on all vaccines, FeLV/FIV tested, and microchipped to ensure her safety. She’s ready to find a home where she can relax in a sunny spot, enjoy some quiet time, and chat with her humans whenever the mood strikes. If you’re looking for a sweet, vocal kitty who enjoys a peaceful life, Aurora might just be the one for you!
