Iris is a beautiful solid white cat with yellow eyes. She came to The Cat Shack from a kill shelter in Philadelphia with her two babies (see separate post for Thelma and Louise). She loves to be petted and sit in your lap. She'd make a pet for any household that isn't too active. She needs a less active home because she's deaf. Obviously noises don't bother her, but she can be startled by other animals and children. It's not that she doesn't like other animals or kids - she does - she just gets scared because she doesn't hear anything sneaking up on her. When she gets scared, she doesn't hiss, but she meows really loudly, probably because she can't hear herself. So, she needs a home where she can just sleep in someone's lap or in the window sill. She craves human attention and companionship so she'd be great for anyone who doesn't have other pets and wants a lap cat. Iris is up to date with shots, spayed, and has tested negative for leukemia and FIV. Now, she just needs a safe place to call home.

Adopting from The Cat Shack

The Cat Shack rescue is all volunteer and the adopted cats are delivered to your home. Because we deliver the cats to you, we must restrict the adoptions of our highly adoptable cats to a 1 hour drive from the Allentown PA area.

Young KITTENS are always adopted in Pairs or to homes with other felines already in the home. Click here to read why kittens are happier with a buddy!

All cats are vaccinated, dewormed, tested and altered as part of the adoption contract. This basic care (and other vet work required to make our rescues healthy) is included in the $85 adoption donation!
