Hi! My name is Freebie Frank. I think they named me that because someone was giving me away on Facebook. Can you believe that? I am way too cute and adorable to just be given away for free! Thankfully my foster Mom saw the post and saved me from a life of uncertainty. Now I'm in a wonderful foster home. She says I'm also a part of an amazing rescue. Woot! I can't believe I have been so lucky. I am a young fellow and have lots of growing to do. Besides being cute and adorable, I am a lover. I enjoy attention and will seek it out. I definitely enjoy a good okay session too! Mice, balls, spring toys, who doesn't love those? I know I do. I am adventurous too. I love to explore and pounce.If your life has been a little boring, I am the guy to spice it up. But don't you worry, I will add some sugar too. You will be the envy of the neighborhood with a handsome fellow like me by your side.

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) Primary Color: Tabby Secondary Color: White Weight: 8.5 Age: 4yrs 7mths 0wks

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.---- Sweet girl who enjoys sunbathing on a bed or exploring - and when she is done napping, she will ask for pets- She doesn't mind a belly rub, and adores pets and cheek scritches, but doesn't like quick movements toward her face- Prefers not to be picked up- Has lived with other cats, but will do best with a calm, laid back cat that is not in her face all the time- Likes to play with anything on a string or toys that crinkle- Is good about using her cardboard scratcher, and will need at least one in her new home- Young, busy children will likely be too much for her, so she is looking for a more mature home, with people who will let her open up as she feels comfortableThis cat came from a situation where they did not get the socialization that house cats typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may be fearful in new situations and when meeting new people, and may need help getting used to a carrier. Since this cat has lived with other cats, they may benefit from having another cat friend to help them build confidence and show them the ropes. You can find more info here about cats from hoarding situations and how to work with them to set them up for success.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: Grey Tiger Secondary Color: White Weight: 8.71 Age: 1yrs 6mths 3wks

Arlo is truly a lap cat at heart. He's incredibly affectionate and makes it clear when he's ready for snuggles by gently placing his front paws on your arm or chest. Once invited, he'll happily curl up in your lap and stay there as long as you'll let him. Friendly and sociable, Arlo loves spending time with anyone who will give him attention. His beautiful medium-length coat is always well-groomed. While he's naturally curious, he can get a bit anxious in unfamiliar surroundings. But with some encouragement and comfort, he quickly finds his confidence and settles in. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption. Our adoptions are done by approved applications, so you must apply and be approved before being able to meet any of our cats or kittens. To be approved, you can apply in person or online at: https://www.storycountyiowa.gov/1486/Adoption-Application Applications can take a few business days to be approved and you will be emailed with communications regarding your application.

This affectionate and quirky guy is sure to bring happiness and laughter to everyone around him. George has a particular fondness for rolling around on the carpet, where you'll often find him stretching and tumbling about in pure feline bliss. This behavior is not just a playtime activity; it's George's way of expressing his happiness and feeling at ease in his environment. One of George's most charming qualities is his affectionate demeanor. He thrives on human interaction and is always eager for pets and cuddles. Adding to his charm, George has a few quirks that never fail to amuse: a small portion of his tongue is almost always sticking out and his version of purring resembles a soft snore. These traits add a unique touch to his already amazing personality. George's love for rolling around, his insatiable need for affection, his ever-present tongue peek, and his unique purring style make him a truly special cat. George brings pure joy into the lives of anyone fortunate enough to know him. George is FIV+, but don't let that stop you from adopting this amazing boy! While cats diagnosed with FIV can have slightly weaker immune systems, many cats do not show any symptoms during their lifetimes and can live normal lives. FIV is not considered contagious and can only be spread through deep flesh bites, making it possible for non-FIV cats to live safely alongside FIV cats as long as no intense fighting occurs. All cats and kittens come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $50.00 for adult cats and $75.00 for kittens under 6 months old at the time of adoption.
