Simon's 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 <br/><br/>---<br/><br/>- A big, handsome guy who greets you with a sweet, little meow<br/><br/>- He starts purring as soon as you pet his beautiful, soft coat<br/><br/>- He "trills" often, which is so endearing, and he also enjoys a tall sisal rope scratching post<br/><br/>- Is mostly a lounger with occasional bursts of energy, and he enjoys batting mouse toys around the room and playing with wand toys<br/><br/>- 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!!! <br/><br/>- Has done well with other cats<br/><br/>- Young, busy children are just too much for him, so he is looking for a more mature home, that is on the calmer side<br/><br/>- 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 <br/><br/>- Makes biscuits in his bed to get comfy before lying down <br/><br/>- Loves Churu treats <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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: 9.4lbs Age: 3yrs 4mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered
