Macy was left in a pet carrier at the City Pound and her previous owner never came forward to explain her situation. She was terrified and behaved violently for the first couple of weeks. For another month, she would solicit attention but then hiss and swat at us. As time went on, Macy began to relax and accept head pets from the volunteers. Now, 8 months later she is showing us her playful side and is very friendly. We have discovered that Macy doesn't like other cats or dogs. We assume she was the only pet in her previous home. Macy is still a little timid and goes back to her "safe spot" whenever she feels overwhelmed. Her ideal home will be calm, quiet and routine. At her recent vet visit she was well mannered but scared and hid her face in the Director's arms. Macy is clean in her cage and uses her litterbox always. She is front declawed and approximately 3 years old. In the right home, one with patience and kindness, Macy will flourish and make someone a really great companion. Please email mdowney@iowatelecom.net for an adoption application.

Meet Lucky, a Domestic Shorthair born approximately 4/2019. Lucky is a typical young cat who loves attention, regularly climbing and zooming around. He's very vocal and friendly and curious about new people. He likes to be close and pet, but doesn't love being held. He loves being brushed and plays with his toys often. Lucky is a very curious little guy, so it may be best to keep things out of reach, especially shoes. He also has accidents outside of his litter box from time to time, so he'll need a lot of patience and possibly re-training. Lucky wants to give you all of his attention, so give him a chance today! The suggested adoption donation for Lucky is $65, which includes a lifetime of free relationship-based training for any behavioral problems (not obedience training).
