Kid-Friendly Cats for Adoption in Waterloo, IA: 30 Cats Good with Children

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.

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.
