Miss Mami Domestic Short Hair Mix Des Moines, IA

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 or Carol at cgriglione@arl-iowa.org.

---

- Laid back, independent and sometimes shy girl who enjoys being in the same room with you

- Likes being petted on her back and welcomes all sorts of chin and neck scratches

- Enjoys playing with toy balls, laser pointers and catnip toys

- Loves cat treats and playing on her cat tree!

- Is not a fan of other animals, and needs to be the only pet in her new home

- Young, noisy or busy children are too much for her, so she's looking for a mature home that's calm and predictable

- Will thrive in a peaceful, quiet home with one or two people who want a sweet, gentle cat to love and care for

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 and ball spinners 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!

All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
