About Iris

Iris is a large, plush torbie with a unique bobtail—her tail is about half the usual length, and her features hint at both Manx and American Bobtail ancestry. Her face has an especially exotic look. She lived happily with a dog in her previous home, but she can be timid or a bit bossy with other cats, so she would do best as your only feline or in a home with one or two dogs. Iris has been spayed, is microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. She has always been an indoor cat and recently received flea treatment. Iris was originally adopted as a kitten and returned after her owner experienced a health crisis, but she’s ready for her next chapter. She’ll settle in best as the center of attention in a home without other cats. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
