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.

- More than happy to share his adorable chirps and give you leg rubs, and he may even jump on your lap for more attention!

- Can be choosy about his human friends, but once you're in his club, you'll feel special indeed

- Has been respectful toward other cats

- Has lived peacefully with large dogs

- Needs flat food bowls or little plates to eat off of, as his whiskers are very sensitive

- Also very sensitive to sound, so he's looking for a quiet, predictable home

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!
