Dahlia may try to put on a tough act at first—maybe a little hiss here or there—but don’t be fooled. It’s all just her way of protecting herself in a place that feels overwhelming. The moment you start petting her, the act melts away, and it becomes clear there isn’t a single mean bone in her body. Underneath that nervous exterior is an incredibly sweet girl who truly loves affection and being close to her people. Give her a little patience and reassurance, and you’ll quickly see her soft, loving personality shine through. Dahlia has lived with other cats before and could likely adjust well to a feline friend again. 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.
