Adult Cats for Adoption in Waterloo, IA: 30 Grown-Up Cats Looking for a Home

Dale is the wild child of the bunch! She is sweet, adorable, and has A LOT of personality! This girl is always on the go and absolutely determined to investigate everything around her.

She’s curious, playful, energetic, and just a little bit crazy—in the absolute best way! She will keep you laughing and wondering what she’ll get into next.

Isaac and his mother, Fluffy, arrived on 10-9-26. Fluffy was pregnant again. We believe Isaac was from her first litter of the season. He was probably born in April, 2026. He did live in a "foster" situation with Fluffy for a bit and they said both cats were great. Isaac likes to run and play and he LOVES his mother; they are with each other constantly so far. He was a bit shy with new people but warms up when he knows you! We are looking for a calm, loving home where Isaac will be given time for transition. He will be adopted as an INDOOR only cat. Isaac now neutered and current on shots/dewormings.

He is a miniature Dire Wolf, hunting your heart! He has striking facial features: a white visage with fine gray, etched lines, that is a work of art. His belly is white with dappled, gray spots that look like a Rorschach ink blot test. Feisty and fun, his arch-backed, side hop-along will alert his prey & if nothing else, will just confuse them & might even raise a chuckle or two. He's a real snuggler, cuddler and loverboy. If you sit down, he's by your side, searching for a little warm spot to claim his own. He will bond with you, he will be your cat person, your Dire Wolf, your protector & guardian of your heart..... Who knows he might even howl at the moon if you let him!

Charli is a petite, young kitty with a big voice and lots of love to give! She enjoys being petted and soaking up affection, though she prefers to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being held or picked up. She's a curious girl who loves watching the world go by from a window and exploring new sights and surroundings.

You don’t have to be a baker to knead this Sourdough! And don’t worry, we’ve been feeding this starter to help it rise but we’re ready to share the love now!

Meet Minnow! This adorable boy may be a little shy at first, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up and show you his sweet side. He's a big fan of treats and, even better, a cozy spot on your lap!

Minnow gets along wonderfully with cats of all ages and would likely love having a playful feline friend to romp, chase, and get into kitten mischeif with. He hasn't been around dogs yet, so we're not sure how he would feel about having a canine roommate.

Jeff was rescued from the Austin City Pound on 8/26/26 when no one came to claim him. He is a very, very nice guy who arrived in pretty rough shape.

Hi, my name is Lo Mein! My foster mom says I'm a confident and outgoing kitten. I love to explore and play! Right now, my favorite toys are teaser wands, balls that crinkle and these silly little plastic springs that are just too much fun!

When I'm not busy playing, I love to follow my foster mom around, rub on her legs and get pets. I also don't mind being picked up and cuddled although I am still a kitten and have things to do so sometimes cuddles are a little short right now but my foster mom says I'm getting more cuddly as I'm getting older. Anytime I get attention, I purr loudly!

Meet Nora

This beautiful long-haired calico girl may be a little spunky, but given what she's been through, we think she's earned that right.

Nora's story began when she appeared as a stray, carrying more than just the struggles of life on the streets. She arrived with a wound on her back, a heavily matted coat, serious infections, and signs of malnourishment. The family who found her wanted to help but were unable to provide the care she desperately needed, so they reached out to Safe Haven.

Tony... Tony the Tiger that is! He is a big, handsome orange guy weighing in at about 15 pounds, and he has plenty of love to give! He absolutely loves pets, attention, and being around his people!

Tony enjoys wandering around and checking things out, but more often than not, you'll find him lounging comfortably in his bed, taking it easy, and enjoying the good life. He's the perfect combination of curious and laid-back!

Tony has not shown himself to be a huge fan of other cats, so he may do best as the only cat in the home. He has not yet been dog tested, so we do not know how he feels about canine companions.

Meet Fletcher! Fletcher is a young, playful guy who is always ready for some fun! He absolutely loves toys and can turn just about anything into an opportunity for playtime. Whether he's chasing a toy, batting something around, or showing off his playful personality, Fletcher is happiest when he's having fun.

Fletcher is an all around loving guy! He will happily accept all the pets and treats he can get. He also gets along wonderfully with other cats and would love a home with another young feline friend that he can play with all day. After playtime, he 's sure to keep you entertained with his silly, curious personality.

Lola has already come a long way. Found as a frightened feral stray who thought everything (and everyone!) was scary, she's learned that people aren't so bad, especially when they bring food.
