Wallace and his sister, Cotton, were born as strays in Waverly, Iowa. We trapped them June 21st, 2017, with full intentions of getting them vetted and putting them on a farm. But they were not as wild as we thought they would be. So with a little TLC and time, they have tamed up nicely. Wallace is up to date on shots, neutered, and tested negative for FeLV / FIV. He is living in a foster home.


Wallace was about 10 weeks old when he was trapped 6/21/17. He is all black with a little bit of white on his chest. Someone in the neighborhood must have been feeding his family and holding these kittens. They were a little scared but not ferocious or hissy. Their foster mom wrapped him in a blanket each day for loving and petting. It didn't take long for him to purr and be happy. He is a total sweetheart now. Loves to be held and to snuggle. He is maybe a little more timid and laid back than other kittens, but truly he is doing well for a stray kitten. Would be best in a home with older children. He has not been around dogs. He does well with other cats. He will need to be started off in one room alone when adopted. He will probably be scared and hide at first. It will be less stressful for him to only start off in one room. Would love to see him adopted in to the same home with his sister, Cotton.

10/12/17 UPDATE: We trapped the other 2 kittens from this kitty family on 8/9/17. They are also all black and quite shy. But 3 months later they have warmed up a lot. One loves to snuggle and purrs a lot. The other is friendly but not a fan of being held. We named them Moya and Harrison. All four kittens are now about 6-1/2 months old. We never did get the mother cat after several attempts. The neighbors in that area are cat lovers and promised to keep trying until they got her.

11/25/17 UPDATE: Wallace and Cotton are about 7-months-old now. They are very sweet and loving once they get to know you. They are also very bonded to each other and it is required they get adopted into the same home. Wallace and Cotton love to be petted. They also love to play and it is fun to get a feather wand out and wave it around. I bet it would only take a week or two for them to settle in to a new home.

4/13/18 UPDATE: These should be ok around kind and respectful children. They have grown to be the most amazing loving kitties ever.


Will someone please adopt Cotton & Wallace and give them a forever home? $95.00 each adoption fee for a total of $190 for both cats.
