My story

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

Iggy and his brother Yoshi are firmly bonded and make the perfect kitty pair. Their friendship is so adorable and strong that they need to be adopted together.

Your future playmate and shadow – Iggy is a sleek, smoky gray, young cat with fur as soft as velvet and a tiny majestic white star on his chest. Iggy is the sweetest guy and loves to hang out with his humans on the off chance that play is on the table! He will play all day if you have the time and energy. Iggy is an accomplished hunter and uses his amazing athleticism to leap in the air and catch his toy prey, dragging it off to his lair under the dining table. When playtime is over Iggy will sit near his human and snooze away until it’s time to play again. Iggy is very smart and understands a lot of what is said to him. Iggy is also a collector and loves to “borrow” Lego, charms, hair clips and other nik-naks to store safely in his lair!

Iggy is a little cautious at first around new people, but once he gets to know you he will show you how much he loves pets and scratches, rubbing against your hand with his cheek and purring in his deep baritone! Iggy will stand up on your lap to lick meat tube treats and will gently take a crunchy treat from your hand. In the evening he loves to curl up right next to his humans on the couch and watch TV on soft blankets or survey his kingdom from his hammock at the top of the cat tower. 

The boys would do best in a calm, predictable home with cat savvy adopters who have the time and patience to build a trusting relationship with them. Iggy’s estimated date of birth is mid-April, 2024. Kitty Bio #980EP-Ig. â–¶ï¸ scroll down for clips

 

If you're interested in adopting Iggy and Yoshi, or another of our cats, please fill out our adoption questionnaire at https://icraeastbay.org/adopt/how-to/. Yoshi and Iggy are not purebred Russian Blue, they just look like it.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The goal of our adoption process is to place the right cat(s) with the right person. These are the steps:

  1. Pick out a cat or think about the qualities you want in a cat.

  2. Complete our adoption questionnaire.

  3. Meet the cat over a video call with the foster parent or in person to see if the cat is a good fit for your household.

  4. Meet with an adoption counselor over a video call for a virtual home visit to go over a safety checklist.

  5. We will bring the cat to your home to complete the adoption.
