Iris

Meet Iris! She came to the shelter after she and her littermates were abandoned when their owner passed away. She is about 3 years old and has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.<br/><br/>Iris is still very shy and cautious. The world feels big and uncertain to her right now, and she prefers to observe from a safe distance while she learns to trust again. Though she may be scared, Iris shows sweet glimpses of her true nature. Soft voices, patient company, and a few tasty treats help her feel a little braver each day. If you’re lucky, she’ll offer a slow blink — her quiet way of saying she’s trying. Because she is still very timid and values her independence, Iris may be well-suited for a barn cat environment, where she can have space, routine, and a calm setting to build confidence at her own pace. In the right home, whether as a patient companion or a barn cat with a cozy place to land, Iris deserves the chance to feel safe and loved once again.<br/><br/>If you'd like to meet Iris you can call (540) 778-2101 or email animalshelter@pagecounty.virginia.gov.
