About Iris

Iris is a gentle, sweet girl who takes her time to trust new people. Once she feels secure, she becomes an incredibly loving companion. At first, Iris may be shy and spend time hiding, but as she adjusts, her delightful personality shines through. She has a penchant for cozying up in unexpected nooks, which adds to her charm. With patience and kindness, you’ll discover that Iris evolves into a wonderful cuddler. She came to Meowtown after losing her previous owner, and she comes with her companion, Douglas. These two should be adopted together. Douglas is more outgoing, and his presence helps Iris feel more confident in new situations. Iris thrives in a calm, loving environment where she can blossom at her own pace. She’ll appreciate gentle affection and cozy spots to retreat to when needed. If you’re ready to welcome both Iris and Douglas into your home, they would be grateful for the opportunity to form a special bond. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
