My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Carrie of the Sour Patch kitties.

The kitty trio, Pacino, Cash, and Carrie came to IAR from rough beginnings. They were quite spicy and sour earning them the nickname the Sour Patch kitties. And just like the gummies with time, patience, and love, their sourness has turned to sweet. All three love treats, crunchy and squeeze, catnip and silver vine, laser lights, moving play fish and snakes, toy mice, cardboard, and balls and ice on slick surfaces. They enjoy spending their mornings watching the birds take turns at the feeder and the occasional squirrel visit by the porch window.

While these three have come a long way from hissing and hiding, they are still a work in progress. They show their love for you in small ways. Like Carrie loves to roll around in your dirty clothes at the end of the day as if it were a pile of catnip. Every morning she will greet you with headbutts and snuggles. Carrie loves to play with her siblings and has the softest fur. She love pretty much any "toy" even if it's just a piece of trash on the floor or the corner of the bathroom rug. Don't even get me started on wand toys (spoiler: I'm obsessed). There is never a dull moment with this trio. From late night hours of collective zoomies, to playing with rubber toys in the tub, to their cute quirkiness like Carrie's passionate meow for morning snuggles in bed.

Carrie can be adopted as a single kitty to a home with an existing young, playful kitty. If possible and all three could stay together, your home will have the best of all kitty worlds :)

Carrie is a striped brown/gray/black tabby. She has the cutest ear tips and and chunky feet. Carrie will do great in a home with other young cats because of her exuberiant personality. If Carrie is the perfect kitty for you please apply to adopt her!

Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

  • Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

  • You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

  • Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
