About Gracie

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Gary and Gracie were born to a stray in a local mobile home park and were lovingly taken in during a Trap-Neuter-Return project in the summer of 2018. Since then, they’ve only known the comfort of an indoor life and truly thrive in that setting. Gracie is looking for a special family willing to adopt both her and her brother Gary so they can remain together. She can only be adopted to indoor homes unless part of the barn cat program, ensuring her continued safety. For this sweet cat, adoption is limited to homes within roughly 45 minutes of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and home visits are part of the process. If you’re nearby, you can meet her at the Cedar Rapids adoption center, which is currently open by appointment only. With her birthday on April 5th, Gracie is an Aries—a sign known for being courageous, affectionate, and always up for a new adventure! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
