Dante's Story
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER. WE ARE A NO-KILL 501-C-3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE: To see an animal, you must fill out an application first and then once approved, we can set up for you to meet the animal you are interested in.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt with our online cat application: https://fs17.formsite.com/waverlypetrescue/form4/index.html<br/><br/>Please go to our web-site to learn more about Waverly Pet Rescue: www.waverlypetrescue.com<br/><br/>Dante was found all alone in Waverly, Iowa back on July 5th, 2024. He was adopted in 2025 and now returned in January 2026 because his family moved and was not able to take him with. They were heartbroken to give him back as they tried very hard to be able to take him with. So he became a Waverly Pet Rescue kitty again and is living in a foster home. Dante tested negative for FeLV / FIV, is up to date on shots, and neutered.<br/><br/>Dante is about 2 years old now as of March 2026. Dante was very shy and skittish when found and his original foster family worked with him to worm up to people. They wrapped him in a blanket like a burrito and showered his little face with love and affection. He started coming around and realizing humans can be ok! Now that he is older and used to people, he is still shy and scared at first but comes around in about 3 or 4 weeks. When he first came back, he was set up in one room and hid. He would eat, drink, and use the litter box when no one was in the room with him. Then he started popping his head out and was curious about the people feeding him. Took a couple more weeks and now he comes to you for attention. He mostly stays out all the time now He likes to be petted and is not a fan of being picked up. He has a big purr! If you are watching TV or resting in bed, he does like to cuddle if it is his idea. Dante is a big boy with big paws. He is also as sweet as can be.<br/><br/>He does well with all other cats he has ever met. He is not a fan of the dogs so be best in a home without dogs. He grew up with kind children and should be ok with older kind children.<br/><br/><br/>Adoption fee is $95.00.<br/><br/><br/>WE ARE A NO-KILL 501-C-3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE.
