Personality types: Socialite - Loves to be the center of attention and wants to be involved in everything you do. Iris is an incredibly friendly and affectionate sweetheart who hasn’t met a person she doesn’t love. Named after the Goo Goo Dolls song, Iris would also happily “give up forever to touch you.” In fact, when at the vet, she’s so thrilled by the extra attention and pets that they can have trouble hearing her heartbeat over her purring. Iris was found living on the streets of North Philly last summer when she was brought inside by her finder (and now foster). From the start, she was instantly trusting and ready for the comfort of indoor life. She adores human companionship and will happily spend time near her people, whether that means a snuggle in your lap or just lounging nearby to keep you company. She also has an independent side and can keep herself easily entertained when you’re busy. She has short bursts of playful moments and loves chasing toys, rolling around in a tunnel, using a scratching pad, and chewing on silvervine sticks. Iris would prefer to be the only apple of your eye and would do best as the only cat in the home. She has not been around dogs or children, but she would likely do well with older kids. A Philly girl through and through, her favorite song is Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” - the smooth crooning always calm her down when in the car. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will greet you with purrs and affection, this could be the start of your road together with Iris. Iris Wakefield is around 2 years old and is spayed, FeLV and FIV negative, current on shots, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and litter box trained.
