My story

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

If your heart melts for quiet souls with deep, thoughtful eyes and a gentle spirit, let us introduce you to Ramsey — a soft, introverted sweetheart who speaks in whispers rather than shouts. This handsome orange boy may not rush into your lap, but once he decides you’re safe, his affection is tender, sincere, and absolutely priceless.

Ramsey is the quieter half of a perfect bonded pair. He’s observant and thoughtful, taking in the world from a cozy spot where he can watch everything unfold. He warms up slowly, but when he does, you’ll be rewarded with the sweetest signs of trust: soft blinks from across the room, choosing to nap near you, or settling close by just to share your space. His love is gentle and steady — the kind that grows roots.

And while Ramsey is the introspective one, he’s never alone. His twin brother, Simba, is his sunshine — the confident, affectionate cuddlebug who helps Ramsey feel brave. These boys were rescued together from a local feral colony as very young kittens, and thanks to the loving care of their rescuer and the kind folks at IAR, they’ve transformed into happy, comfortable indoor housecats who rely on each other in the sweetest ways.

Simba gives Ramsey the courage to explore; Ramsey gives Simba the calm anchor he adores. They nap curled up together, groom each other, and share a bond that’s unshakeable. They are truly two halves of one heart.

Ramsey and Simba will thrive in a peaceful, patient home with humans who understand and appreciate both tender quietness and playful affection. Ramsey will blossom for someone who lets him move at his own pace, and once he does, you’ll discover the softest love imaginable. Simba, of course, will happily provide nonstop snuggles, purrs, and comic relief.

💕 If you’re looking for…

✔ A sweet, sensitive introvert who will love you in his own gentle way (Ramsey!)
✔ An affectionate, confident orange cuddlebug (Simba!)
✔ A perfectly balanced bonded pair who complete each other
✔ Double the love, double the charm, double the orange floof

…then Ramsey & Simba may be your perfect match.

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.
