About Iris

Meet Iris, a beautiful shy soul looking for a patient home. She is one of the feral kittens we rescued at the end of August. Iris is currently on a journey towards trusting humans, and while it may be gradual, every step feels significant. Although she’s still frightened and not yet handleable, she has shown remarkable progress by accepting treats, a promising sign of her willingness to learn. Iris needs a calm environment where trust can be built gently and on her own timeline. She won’t be the kitten who leaps into your arms, but for the right person willing to invest time and love, the reward of helping her feel safe will be invaluable. She is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and regularly checked by a vet. Iris would thrive best if adopted alongside her sister Clover or another confident cat to guide her through this process. If you have the heart and patience to support Iris in her journey, she is patiently waiting for you.
