To Whom it May Concern: I am writing on behalf of my in-laws, who live in Columbia, IA (Marion County). My father-in-law has several heart and lung issues, and my mother-in-law has stage 4 kidney failure. They are needing to move a.s.a.p. for health and safety reasons, but cannot because they have 10-12 indoor cats that need to be surrendered first. This does not include their 8 cats that they keep in their basement. These cats are basically barn cats that get food and water, as well as litter boxes provided, but they do not come inside the main part of the house. As you can imagine, these cats are a product of my in-laws living out in the country. People drop off a cat or two...then before you know it there are kittens. My in-laws have chosen over the years to take the cats in and love them as there own. But now it is time they focus on their own health and quality of life. Not an easy decision, but it is necessary. These indoor cats are very friendly and loving, well behaved, cared for animals. They are all spayed/neutered and are about 7 years old (avg). If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated!! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time.

Looking for our pregnant Bengal cat. Was taken from property in Southeast IA. Please contact 319-217-9848

Very unprofessional company that does not do a full background check on people wanting to adopt. Instead denied people base on little information, and make conclusions on little information. Horrible communication with people, and don't respond in a timely manner or just don't respond at all. They should be ashamed to call themselves a shelter, because all they do is shelter good pets from loving homes.

Looking for 2 year or slightly older house trained lab or golden retriever that likes the water as we live at Lake Panorama.

Hi - Our parents recently passed away leaving behind a house cat. Lucky is a 14 yr old neutered male, fully declawed (4), current on rabies vaccinations and is in good health. He has short black hair and is litter box trained. We are hoping to find a home that can love him the remainder of his years. Please contact me if you can take him or may know of someone who would. We are running out of options. Thank you, [email protected]
