EDI - Snowshoe and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Ames, Iowa

Edi is part of our Working Cats Program! The Ames Animal Shelter's WORKING CATS PROGRAM offers an environmentally-safe alternative to poisonous pest controls. Our working cats, who aren't suited for indoor living due to their feral or semi-feral behavior, would love to spend their lives helping to control your warehouse, ranch, mill or barn's rodent and pest population. All they ask for in return is shelter, food, water and care. Best of all, when you give our working cats a job, you're saving the lives of homeless pets who otherwise would not have been suitable for adoption. There is no adoption fee for working cats, who are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and have tested negative for Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. If you are interested in this particular cat, please call the Ames Animal Shelter at 515-239-5530.
