Iris (k2026) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Skokie, Illinois

Iris and Atlas are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Hi! I'm Iris, a sweet, thoughtful little kitten looking for a forever home with my brother and best friend, Atlas. We're a bonded pair, and we're happiest when we're together.

I like to take my time getting to know new people, but once I trust you, I'm incredibly affectionate. I love gentle pets and cozy cuddles, especially when I can curl up in the crook of your arm or burrow under a soft blanket for a nap. I may not always want to be picked up, but when I'm ready for affection, I'll make sure you know it.

I'm also the more vocal sibling, especially if I think it's time for a snack! Food is definitely one of my favorite things, and I don't mind reminding Atlas that I should get first dibs. He's more playful than I am, but he always encourages me to be brave and explore new things. Having him by my side makes me feel safe.

I enjoy playing with ribbon wands, crinkle tunnels, and jingly balls, and I love watching the world with curious eyes. I'm litterbox trained, use clumping litter, and prefer vertical scratching posts. Brushing isn't really my thing, but otherwise I'm a pretty easygoing girl.

I am FeLV positive, which means I'll need an indoor home with Atlas where we're the only cats or with other FeLV+ feline friends. FeLV doesn't define who I am. I'm still a happy, playful kitten with so much love to give.

Atlas and I have brought so much joy to our foster family, and we'd love the chance to bring that same happiness to yours. If you're looking for two kittens who balance playful energy with cozy cuddles, we think you'll fall in love with us.
