Hale's Story

When meeting new people, Hale can be a little nervous and unsure, preferring to take his time and quietly assess the situation. Big, new experiences aren’t quite his thing — but patience and kindness go a long way with this sweet boy. Once Hale gets to know you, his affectionate side starts to shine. He’ll lean in for pets and offer quiet companionship. But even then, he keeps a bit of his reserved nature — he’s the kind of cat who loves deeply but gently, never demanding the spotlight. Hale would thrive in a calm, understanding home where he can build confidence at his own pace. With a little reassurance and a lot of love, this shy sweetheart will reward you with the most special kind of bond — the kind that feels earned and truly meaningful.<br/><br/>All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption. Our adoptions are done by approved applications, so you must apply and be approved before being able to meet any of our cats or kittens.<br/><br/>To be approved, you can apply in person or online at:<br/>https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application<br/>Applications can take a few business days to be approved and you will be emailed with communications regarding your application.
