Spookaloo is 7 years old. He is a sweet boy who just wants snuggles. He loves to rub faces and follow you around the house. He will herd you to his food dish if he can see the bottom, even if there's still enough food in there to last for a week. He loves to go outside, but only under the cover of darkness. He will come back in within an hour every time. He gets anxious in new places. And will probably hide for the first week he's in your home. He does not get along with dogs and it's very rare he likes another cat. He does well with kids, but does not like to be played rough with. Rehoming due to an upcoming move and time away from home. The time away from home can be up to two weeks at a time. I want him to go to a home where his love cup will be filled daily and he can live out his days in comfort. I'm hoping I can find him a home through here. I do not want to put him in a shelter.

- Likes being petted on his head and getting chin rubsThis 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: Grey Weight: 11.9 Age: 3yrs 1mths 3wks

HOW TO ADOPT: This kitten is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this kitten, please email fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.---Jasper and Simon are Bonded Buddies; they'll be adopted as a pair - Arrived at the ARL very fearful but has made great progress in his foster home and is continuing to come out of his shell more every day; looking for a patient family who will help him continue to gain confidence in his new home- Has opened up a lot in his foster home but may still hide at first, and that is totally normal for him at this time; once he knows he's safe, he comes out to see his foster mom, asking for pets and purring loudly, melting into her hands when she pets him - Loves his buddy, and the two are pretty much joined at the hip; they spend the day together playing until they're worn out and then cuddle up together for a nap- Loves Churu tube treats, and they're a great way to bond with him! - Also obsessed with feather wand toys - More outgoing than his buddy, and his buddy tends to follow his lead - Has not interacted with the dog in his foster home, but he's curious about him and likes to meow at him- Has come a long way in his foster home, but will need time to acclimate to a new home, so please plan on starting him and his buddy in one room of your home and giving them quite a bit of time (possibly weeks) to become comfortable with that area and with you before allowing them access to larger areas of the home; this process will help set them up for success by not overwhelming themThis 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!
