Meet Mika

Who is ready to give this gorgeous senior a final retirement home?  Mika is very loveable once she warms up which happens fairly quickly after observing. She likes to sunbathe by any door or window and can be opinionated about the cleanliness of her litter box (per previous owner). Of course! Cats want clean litter boxes choices.  Mika and Lily were a Iowa surrender due to no fault of her own after the owner reports their circumstances changed and could no longer care for her and no family/friends could help. They came into rescue front declawed w/o reports of medical or behavioral concerns and had not seen a vet since 2022 where Mika had been diagnosed stage 2 CKD.  They were said to be fine with other cats and smaller dogs. They were in a home with little children, but these grandma's would likely appreciate a home w/o little children noise/activity. We are not considering them bonded as they are not exhibiting bonded behaviors.  Mika recently saw our vet partner in Urbandale and she does continue with stage 2 chronic renal disease in which we have started her on a renal diet.  Cats with chronic kidney disease can now live longer, better lives than ever before with the right management and so we encourage the adoptor to educate themselves on the management.  Adoption fee is $25.00  which includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines/cares, and microchip. If you would like to meet, please complete an online application that can be found at: https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/198/hope-cat--application
