Story
My name is Milo and I am a white & brown tabby domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 1 year and 6 months old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 02/11/2025 due to the fact I have issues with other animals. They were my family for 3-6 months. I am used to staying both inside during the day, and inside during the night. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I dash out open doors or windows if given the opportunity. I would do best in a setting with two doors between exterior doors, such as a screened in porch or hallway, or to be shut in another room or in a kennel before any doors or windows are opened. I can be good with men, women, and children. I cannot live with other cats and I cannot live with dogs.All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Cats are vaccinated against distemper and rabies, receive a flea preventative, are spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip. Adoption fees include the initial automated registration of the microchip at the time of adoption.

Story
My name is Boogie and I am a brown tabby domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 3 years old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 01/23/2025 due to the fact I wasn`t getting along with the other cats in the home. They were my family for 2 years. I am used to staying inside during the day and inside during the night. 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. I can be good with men and women, and do not have experience with children. I cannot live with other cats, and I would prefer a home without dogs.All cats are tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, and cats over 6 months of age are tested for heartworms. They are also tested for intestinal parasites and receive routine dewormings. Cats are vaccinated against distemper and rabies, receive a flea preventative, are spayed/neutered before adoption, and have a microchip.

Story
The Ames Animal Shelter`s WORKING CATS PROGRAM offers an environmentally-safe alternative to poisonous pest controls. Our working cats, who aren`t suited for indoor living due to their feral or semi-feral behavior, would love to spend their lives helping to control your warehouse, ranch, mill or barn`s rodent and pest population. All they ask for in return is shelter, food, water and care.Best of all, when you give our working cats a job, you`re saving the lives of homeless pets who otherwise would not have been suitable for adoption. There is no adoption fee for working cats, who are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and have tested negative for Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.If you are interested in this particular cat, please call the Ames Animal Shelter at 515-239-5530.
