About Iota

Iota is a black and white shorthair senior, fostered in Oak Forest, IL, after coming from a hoarding situation. She balances affection and independence—following her foster family during morning routines, but napping contently alone while they’re at work. Smart and adaptable, Iota figures out new environments quickly and settles into the flow of a household. She enjoys attention and pets, and likes to perch behind your shoulders on the couch, but being held isn’t her favorite. Despite her age, Iota is still playful, especially with toy mice—she’ll even announce her victories to the whole house. She has lived with other cats, sometimes getting along well, though she may playfully assert herself. With small dogs, she’s confident and not the least bit intimidated, occasionally bossing them around. Her fosterers think she would likely be comfortable with respectful children due to her friendly, easygoing nature. Iota has a history of ear infections and had one ear canal surgically removed; she’s recovered well and now eats a special Science Diet Z/D for allergies. Throughout her health journey, she has remained gentle and sweet. She prefers a low-entry litterbox with paper crumble litter. Foster descriptions? Beautiful, smart, silly, curious, and playful.
