About Iris

Iris is a dynamic 2-year-old tabby with a vibrant personality. Though she may be small, her charm and independence shine brightly. This affectionate cat loves human interaction but will communicate her boundaries firmly if she’s had enough, often with a gentle hiss. Iris has previously greeted other cats well, making a gradual introduction advisable in homes with resident felines. She ideally suits a household with children aged 12 and older and would prefer a dog-free environment since she hasn't lived with dogs before. Iris seeks a patient adopter who respects her confident nature and will give her space when needed. With an adoption fee of $50, you can support her medical care and preparation for a loving home.
