About Iris

Meet Iris, a spayed female kitten with a distinctive racing stripe on her forehead. At just 4 and a half months old, this tuxedo beauty enchants with her playful spirit and affectionate nature. She thrives on adventure, whether it’s pouncing on her favorite toys or exploring her surroundings. After a day filled with fun, she loves curling up for a snuggle, filling the space with her charming purrs. Iris is looking for a strictly indoor home, ideally alongside another resident pet. She gets along well with other cats and would likely adapt to a cat-friendly dog. Although she hasn't met children yet, her gentle demeanor suggests she'd enjoy playful interactions with a caring, cat-savvy kid. All cats come spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. While there is no adoption fee listed for Iris, she and her feline friends are best placed in pairs unless there is a young, energetic cat already in the home. If you're ready to welcome Iris into your family, please apply now and discover the joy of having this delightful kitten in your life!
