Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in West Des Moines, Iowa

Jake and Rudy are bonded brothers who are 6 1/2 years old and were brought to the shelter when the owner who had them since birth passed. They are very affectionate boys and love rubbing up against your legs and getting pets. They can be a bit skittish and don't love being held, so a low key home with patience would be best for them. They appear to be part Maine coon, but we don't know for sure. They are both big boys with long hair, fluffy tails, and huge tuffed paws. They're really gentle giants. They took a little break from the shelter for the Thanksgiving holiday, but will be going back soon. Unless you want to adopt them... If interested please give their foster mom a call at 515-240-9906.

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.

- Cuddly, loving and playful kitty who enjoys sitting in your lap- Likes being petted all over- Loves to play with cat toys of all kinds - Loves lots of attention, belly rubs and his blankie!- Has done well with other cats- Has done well with kidsThis 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: Tabby Weight: 9.75 Age: 1yrs 5mths 0wks

Ivy and Bear are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a pair. - Has done well with people but can be shy at first - Likes sitting in laps and just hanging out near you - Favorite toys are laser toys, wand toys and balls - Has lived with other cats and did well with them - Not a fan of loud noises; looking for a quieter home - Lived with kids previously and loved to play with them; her previous family said she prefers older kids to young ones - Has done fine with dogs but doesn't have much tolerance for young or very bouncy ones; would prefer older and calmer 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, ball spinners and laser pointers 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!
