Iris's Story

Meet Iris! Born around September 3, 2025, Iris is an incredibly sweet, very friendly tabby kitten bursting with personality and charm. She is a true people-kitty who actively seeks out attention from her family and loves being right in the middle of whatever is happening. Iris is bold, confident, and curious about everything new—fearless without being reckless. This affectionate girl enjoys being picked up and held and rewards you with one of the loudest purrs around—she’s almost always purring. Iris is also extremely playful and can turn just about anything into a toy, though her absolute favorite is a green 2-inch spring (simple joys!). She loves toys, loves playtime. Iris is great with other cats and is wonderfully confident around dogs of all sizes. She genuinely enjoys interacting with dogs. Iris is wonderful with kids of all ages. She would thrive in just about any family, from first-time pet owners to experienced cat lovers. Iris is current on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.

We have a variety of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies waiting for new forever families. Before meeting any of our available pets, we ask that you review our Adoption Requirements and complete a brief application. It's in everyone's best interest to find the right match, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated. As soon as your application is approved (generally within 3-5days), Carolina P.A.W.S. will get in touch with you to arrange for you to meet your new pet! Filling out an application does not obligate you to adopt nor guarantee and adoption. Adoption Requirements: An application must be submitted prior to meeting the pet. Vets and references will be contacted; If you vet office requires client approve before giving out information, we ask that you contact their office once you submit an application. No animal will ever be adopted to "outside only" homes, as we firmly believe pets have a right to the warmth and safety of the indoors. Some dogs may require a fenced in yard or may not be suitable for an apartment, condo or townhome. A meet and greet will be arranged by a Carolina P.A.W.S. representative. A contract must be signed at the time of the adoption. An adoption fee is required to help defray the cost of the pet's spay /neuter, vaccinations, microchip and any other medical cost. All applicants need to be 21 years of age or older to apply. An applicant must be fully employed and proof of employment may be requested. If you reside in a rental property, we will contact the property owner to confirm that an animal is allowed. Please note: We will occasionally allow adoptions of puppies and kittens that are not spayed/neutered; however, the adopter must bring the animal to our vet for spay/neuter . This date will be scheduled prior to adoption and will be stated on the adoption contract. We require the use of our veterinarians because our program relies on subsidized healthcare from our animal hospitals. We will follow up to ensure that all animals are brought in for scheduled spay/neuters. *** We only accept applications within a certain radius of where are volunteers are based in the greater Charlotte NC area. ***
