Millie, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Creston, Iowa

Location:

Creston, IA

Description:

Millie and her siblings were born to a wild mother cat and even though the kittens were brought to the city pound at 6 weeks old, they have retained a little of their mother's behavior. Millie has a high "flight" response and will run back to the safety of her cage when startled. Of all the kittens, she is the most uneasy when being touched. She adores her siblings and most of the other kitties. Millie chooses to ignore the volunteers and when we try to handle her, the first response is to run and hide; she will freeze if held. Carrying her is a big no-no as she prefers to keep all four feet on the floor. Millie says no-way to sharing her home with a dog and will react aggressively when dogs come into the cat room. She is searching for a quiet home with a routine and a patient person that will help her overcome her fears. Her new "person" will allow her to just be a cat and not expect anything more. Her ideal home is without young children, dogs, and multiple cats. If you can give Millie a safe place to call home, email XXXX@iowatelecom.net for an adoption application.Adoption processAnimals are available for adoption after the 10 day stray hold time has expired. The State of Iowa requires all animals adopted from this facility to be sterilized and have a Rabies vaccination. We ask that you fill out an application prior to requests to meet animals. You can email CARE at XXXX@iowatelecom.net and request an application. Adoptions can not be done through the mail or done as a gift for someone else. The actual adopter must fill out an application and meet with the Adoption Coordinator. The animal must reside at the address on the contract. We can not adopt outside of Iowa as it is too difficult to do home checks and review applications. We give priority to local adopters who own their home and have completed an adoption application. The applications usually take 5 business days to review so please be patient. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone. Call ahead for an appointment, 641-782-XXXX and leave a message.Shelter locationTo reach the pound, go south on Lake Shore Drive (next to McKinley Lake) past the outdoor pool and camp ground, it's the white metal building next to the Creston City Water Treatment Plant at 710 Lake Shore Drive. The pound doesn't have a phone on site. There is no person on duty at the facility so anyone wanting to view animals must make an appointment by calling 641-782-XXXX and leaving a message. Messages are returned between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. and again between 5 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. If coming from Des Moines area, take Interstate Highway 35 South to Osceola. (Do not use the Clay Street exit). From Osceola take US Highway 34 West to Creston. Continue on Hwy 34 until you see an old Phillips 66 Station/Visitor Center. Turn right on Patriotic Parkway before the old gas station, make what seems like a U-turn onto Park Street. Continue until you reach a stop sign at an underpass. Turn left onto Spillway Road (looks like a gravel parking lot) continue west until you reach Lake Shore Drive (at the camp ground), then turn left toward the water treatment plant.
