Iris - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

After a storm comes a rainbow, and I hope that will happen for me. My name is Iris; the word iris comes from a Greek word that means “rainbow.” This is a stormy time for me. I am a pretty, petite dilute calico who is estimated to be 9 years old. My owner brought me here to the shelter because he has too many animals. He said that he had gotten me from a neighbor. The change has been very hard for me. I am a quiet girl, and I have had trouble getting used to being here. I’m hoping there’s a bright, sunny person who will help me feel loved and safe. Are you someone who will open your arms, your heart, and your home to me? You’ll need to be very patient with me and allow me to adjust to being in a new place. So far, I feel safest in my kennel, so I will likely need a safe retreat or hiding place in my new home until I feel safe. One day the sun will come out, and I will be someone’s beautiful rainbow girl, your sweet Iris.
