Story

We got Aura and another cat ( both Female) a couple of years ago from a family that had kittens. Aura has always been a little anxious and had a harder time settling, and after we had a baby she's retreated back to being very reserved and shy. With her anxiousness I believe she would do much better in a home with no other pets and no children. She has had the issue of spraying during heat with the other cat around, which we believe would stop if she got spayed. We do not have the ability to pay for it, which is why we would love to rehome her to someone who can meet all her needs. Aura is independent but also loves to cuddle occasionally. She loves setting in the window to watch outside, her favorite toy is a laser, and of course she loves her catnip.

Story

I adopted Bandit in 2021 in Marshalltown. Due to life changes, no longer can afford to care for her as she is used to. She is smart and loving. Listens well. She will do best in a home with mature adults that would adopt both her and her companion, Smokey. His information is listed on this site. She is fearful of children and other animals.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This sweet girl was found as a stray. She was brought to Furry Friends Refuge to be spayed, when it was discovered she has a birth defect to her front left leg, but she gets around just great. Her Sternum did not form properly before she was born, so her heart is only protected by her skin. She absolutely LOVES people and wants nothing more than to be pet and loved. If you have a safe quiet place in your life for this sweet girl, please contact us to meet her and her foster mom will answer any questions.
