Kittens and cats in Johnston, Iowa

Pebbles is a beautiful fawn/tan/white/brown tabby with the stereotypical cat personality. He's snarky, has a bit of a mean streak, and is completely food motivated. Unfortunately, as one of our cats has become sicker, Pebbles has been tormenting her. Although he otherwise gets along with our other cats, we cannot have the two in the same room for more than a minute. Besides this, once warmed up, Pebbles can be a total sweetheart and usually asks for pettin' and sleeps on top of me every night. Due to his behavior with our kitty, we're thinking he should be an only child now. So are you ready?! For a derpy, moody, funny boy who will probably take a while to warm up to you? Then look no further, because your Prince Charming is here!

Hello! I have this sweet girl here! She is almost 4 years old in human years. I recently had a baby and I have my hands full! There’s a few things that need to be known. I don’t want money for her. She hasn’t been to the vet and between my pregnancy and new born her fur has gotten a little matte. So she probably should be seen by a vet and groomer.

This 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: 6.5 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

He may hide when strangers (to him) visit or approach with caution when introduced to a new toy. Be patient and give him time to figure it out.- He likes to sharpen his claws on a vertical scratching post and prefers it over the cardboard horizontal scratchers, however, it would be good to provide both since he likes to lie on the cardboard scratcher- Isn't a fan of being picked up; he is okay for a short time and then will struggle to get down- Needs to be the only cat in his new home- Has been diagnosed with chronic weepy eye (more info at ARL)This 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: Silver Tabby Weight: 10.7 Age: 1yrs 5mths 2wks
