Story
A neighborhood cat chose to have her litter in my yard shelter and I’ve since taken in her kittens. They’ve been spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Lil Dude and Poppy are two of the four siblings, and they’re ready for loving homes—either together or separately. Lil Dude is bright, “talkative,” and follows you around like a loyal pup. Poppy, with her velvety-soft coat, is gentle, affectionate, and equally devoted. Both are cuddle bugs who love snuggling in bed, soaking up kisses, and being scooped up for hugs. Playful and curious, they enjoy chasing laser pointers, batting yarn balls, and pouncing on crinkly toys. While they’ll need a little time to adjust to a new environment, their goofy, affectionate personalities shine through. They thrive on attention and would do best with an experienced cat owner who can give them the love and care they deserve.

Story
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 ---- A big, handsome guy who greets you with a sweet, little meow- He starts purring as soon as you pet his beautiful, soft coat- He "trills" often, which is so endearing, and he also enjoys a tall sisal rope scratching post- Is mostly a lounger with occasional bursts of energy, and he enjoys batting mouse toys around the room and playing with wand toys- Enjoys looking out the window and being near you, and if you practice yoga or other floor exercises, he wants to keep you company on the mat!!! - Has done well with other cats- Young, busy children are just too much for him, so he is looking for a more mature home, that is on the calmer side- He will do best starting out in his own room for a few days to adjust to his new home - he doesn't hide in his foster home, but he is a little nervous about common household noises - Makes biscuits in his bed to get comfy before lying down - Loves Churu treats This cat has tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV attacks the immune system leaving a cat vulnerable to recurrent infections. There currently is no cure for FIV, but infected cats can live fairly normal lives for years. FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds. Casual contact such as sharing food/water bowls, mutual grooming, etc. is unlikely to spread FIV. However, we recommend that this cat be an only cat or live with other FIV+ cats. More info is on this cat's kennel, but if you have questions, please consult your regular veterinarian before adoption.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: Buff Weight: 9.4 Age: 3yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
- Very friendly kitty who enjoys sitting next to you - Likes being petted all over- When feeling playful likes toy balls - Loves looking out the window!This 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: Grey Weight: 13.52 Age: 5yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
This cat is participating in our Camp Purr working cat program, which is designed for feral or semi-feral cats that would be happiest living outside as working cats. Adopters must provide shelter and food/water to these cats year-round and need to be willing to work with our Camp Purr team to ensure these cats are acclimated appropriately and humanely to their new environment. Because these cats are familiar with the other cats they are living with currently, we require that all Camp Purr cats be adopted with at least one other Camp Purr cat. The adoption fee for each cat in this program is just $25, and all cats have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. HOW TO ADOPT: These cats are available by appointment only to ensure our team has adequate time to assist you. To get started, please answer a few questions here and a Camp Purr Counselor will email you soon. Primary Color: Tortoiseshell Weight: 5.04 Age: 0yrs 6mths 1wks
