My story

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

Adopt Iris!

Iris is a beautifully mysterious girl with soulful eyes and a gentle, observant nature. She’s the kind of cat who likes to take in her surroundings first, then quietly decide you’re worth her trust. She may be a little skittish at the start, but once she warms up, her sweet and playful personality comes through. Iris’ estimated birthday is 6.1.2025.

She does well with men, women, and kids, and would be happiest in a calmer home with older children who understand giving her space while she settles in. Iris gets along wonderfully with other cats and even cuddles up with her foster dog siblings — it’s truly adorable.

Iris enjoys affection on her own terms. She’ll climb onto the couch or bed to cuddle when she’s ready, especially when she’s sleepy. While she isn’t a big fan of constant handling, she’s cooperative when picked up and very well behaved overall. She’s an easygoing, chill girl with a curious spirit and excellent manners.

Playtime is one of Iris’s favorite things. She loves her tunnel house most of all, along with laser pointers and anything that gets her jumping — she’s got some impressive hops! Her daily routine is perfectly balanced: morning zoomies and play sessions, long midday naps, then another round of fun in the evening.

If Iris had a career, she’d be a supermodel turned private investigator — strikingly beautiful, quietly confident, and always observing everything around her.

Important: Iris is bonded to her sister, Maxine, and they must be adopted together. The two are very close and can often be found grooming and cuddling one another.

Best home: A quieter household with older kids or adults who appreciate a sweet, playful cat with a gentle, independent streak.

If you’re looking for a soft, stunning companion with a curious mind and a heart that opens with patience, Iris is ready to find her forever home — right alongside her sister.
