Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Atlantic, Iowa

Introducing Zaya (born 2023). Despite the heartbreaking loss of her own kittens, she found solace and purpose caring for a litter of the kittens orphaned in the April tornadoes that hit Nebraska and Iowa. With unwavering dedication and a gentle touch, she nurtures her newfound family, fiercely protective of their well-being. Zaya was found as a stray, so we don't know much about her personality yet, but her tender nature shines through as she lavishes her adopted kittens with affection. Please Note: Zaya is a nursing mom of the Twister Litter of kittens. Due to this she cannot move to her forever home until her kittens are fully weened and are around eight weeks of age. We encourage you to apply to adoopt Zaya so that we can process your application while we wait for her to be ready! The suggested adoption donation for Zaya is $65, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training). Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2022 alone, we provided animal healthcare totaling over $390,000 covered mainly through adoption fees. Alter Agreement: If the dog or cat you adopt is older than six months of age and not spayed or neutered, you will receive a voucher to alter the pet at Val Verde Animal Hospital in Omaha, at no cost to you. Or you can alter the pet at your own vet and be reimbursed $80 for dogs, and $50 for cats, of total cost. If the dog or cat is younger, than 6 months of age, adopter will be responsible for the cost of altering the pet at the vet of their choice. If proof of alter is received by Muddy Paws prior to the pet turning 6 months of age, a reimbursement of $80 for dogs, and $50 for cats, will be sent to you to help cover expenses. All puppies and kittens MUST be spayed or neutered by 6 months of age. All dogs and cats MUST be spayed or neutered no later than one month after adoption is finalized.

We do not ship or deliver.  Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter.

Meet Toula, a young kitty (born 9/2023) who loves cuddling and spending time with her brother Tupac. She can be shy at first, especially around men, but her sweet nature shines once she gets used to new people. She and Tupac are a perfect dynamic duo - she likes relaxing, while her brother likes playing. They're both litter-trained, get along other cats, and are good with kids.  Toula and Tupac would love a home with someone who's had cats before and can spend time playing with and snuggling with them.  The suggested adoption donation for Toula and Tupac is $120, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).  Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization meaning that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Beauty from Ashes too!Meet Carmen (approx. 2 yrs old) and Easter (approx. 1 year old) SEE Separate listing for EasterThese two girls had a sad start to life. They came to our rescue from a Mobile Home that had beenabandoned and locked for close to a month with a number of cats inside. This was an uglyhoarding/abusive situation that was none of their doing.Both of these girls are hand-shy. Carmen is the more out-going of the two and has started toapproach us, on her own terms. Easter is still very scared and shy and hides most of the time. Itwould be wonderful if they could be adopted together, but they can also find separate homes.They started off scared of everything. They now sit next to their foster parent’s legs on the couchand sometimes sleep next to them in bed. They are skittish and hard to approach. It is better to holdstill and let them approach you. But they are coming around.  They have been exposed to children, other dogs and cats but would recommend none of those or very slow introduction.These girls would be a great cat for someone who understands that it might take six months beforethey start to warm up much. It could be a year or two before they bloom. But they will be SUPERLOYAL once they feel safe. They do not have any negative behaviors. They use their cat box verywell. Eat, sleep, drink, snuggle with each other. They just need the right person and a very gentleapproach to feel safe and secure.November 5, 2024, 6:18 pm
