He grew up with large dogs and a child, so he’s pretty easy going. New people make him nervous, so he’ll go hide at first, but he will come back out after a while.

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. ---- Beautiful cat that welcomes attention and pets, on her terms- She really likes being held and will purr up a storm - but will let you know when she wants down- Her ideal home will be calmer and on the quiet side- Likes to roll around on the floor and show off her agility!- She will pick up her cat toys in her mouth, and meow for you to come up and play with her, and also likes to bat at dangly cat toys- Enjoys her spa time while laying in the bathroon sink in her foster home!- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give her time to open up and let her take things at her own pace- Young children are not a good fit for her - she is looking for a home with adults only- Will need a slow introduction to any cats in her new home - she can co-exist with them, but may be happiest as your one and only- Her ideal adopter is a cat-savvy person who wants a independent cat with a lot of character to love and care forThis cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 14.75 Age: 7yrs 1mths 1wks

To schedule a time to meet this cat, please contact Mary at mmccarroll@arl-iowa.org or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org. ---Oscar and Ollie are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair.- Likes having his ears rubbed and a good brushing- Likes to be be with his humans and watch TV on teh couch- Loves to eat and is motivated by yummy treats- Needs a home without dogs- Has lived with other cats, and has done well with them- Tends to be shy and anxious with strangers and new people, but once he knows you he gets comfortable quickly- A calm, gentle cat that enjoys playing with catnip toys, and is good about using his scratching posts- Looking for a home with patient family members who will give him time to open up and let him take things at his own pace- Is not a good fit for children and needs a home with adults only; will be a nice fit for a quiet senior person or couple- Not comfortable with fast movements or loud noises; looking for a quieter home - Will be a wonderful friend for someone who wants to make a difference in the life of a fantastic cat who just needs time to trust, and to know he is safe and lovedThis cat can be fearful and may need extra time to adjust to a new home. We've seen good progress here at the ARL, but don't be surprised if it takes several weeks for this cat to become comfortable in a new place. This cat may hide and just observe at first - maybe for quite a while - and that is perfectly normal. Young children are too much for this cat right now, so we are highly recommending a quiet, mature home. We are happy to provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat extra time, patience and TLC, please consider adopting! It will be so rewarding to watch them gain confidence and start enjoying all the good things in life!All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age) Primary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 12.68 Age: 6yrs 11mths 0wks
