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.---- Loves wand toys/feather toys and will hide them around the house- Will sleep with you at night- Enjoys cuddling when she is in the mood, and will make biscuits to show how happy she is- A very independent cat who needs a cat-savvy adopter who can read her body language and give her space and time to unwind when she needs that - Is not a good fit for young children and will require a teens-and-up home right now - a mature, structured home would be perfect for her- She likes to be pet on her terms and will move away from you if she isn't in the mood, however she really likes being in the same room and laying down on her side and watching you - she will be a great companion cat- This is a gorgeous cat looking for an experienced cat owner, who is okay with a cat that wants to be with her family, but has her own ideas on how and when to be cuddled and loved on- Will need a very slow introduction to any pets in her new homeThis 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: Brown Weight: 9.77 Age: 4yrs 3mths 1wks
