About Alice

Alice’s journey started as a stray, darting through a hard winter before landing in rescue care. She survived thanks to dedicated fosters, a long vet stay, and plenty of TLC that brought out her gentle side. At about two and a half years old, this mellow tabby has settled into the rhythms of home life—lounging in sunny patches, exploring cat tunnels, and watching the world go by from the window. Alice’s shyness has faded, replaced by affection and sweet quirks like her signature little grunts and soft nose sniffs. She does well with other cats and has shown she can relax alongside calm dogs, too. Alice greets mornings with a stretch and gentle curiosity, preferring a slow approach and cozy laps to being picked up. She’s looking for a patient adopter who appreciates quiet companionship and understands that trust is built one day at a time. A cozy room to start, and a little time, is all she needs to make herself at home. If you want to share your life with a relaxed, loving cat who’s overcome a lot to find her peace, Alice is waiting in Waverly, IA. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
