About Peaches

Peaches is a very friendly and cuddly kitty who thrives on attention. She loves rolling over for belly rubs and enjoys being petted all over. However, she has shown some signs of overstimulation while at the shelter. For this reason, Peaches needs experienced cat owners who can read her body language during interactions. Signs of overstimulation include tail waving, fur rippling, and dilated pupils. It's essential to respect her boundaries to ensure a harmonious relationship. Interactive toys, like wands and ball spinners, will keep her engaged and happy. If you can offer her patience, mental stimulation, and the understanding she deserves, Peaches will quickly become your faithful companion. The Animal Rescue League of Iowa Inc. has ensured all adoptable cats, including Peaches, are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend?
