In the shelter’s words
Starting October 6, all cats and kittens are FREE to adopt! Come find your new best friend today! Tiny tabby, big opinions, bigger heart. Iris is looking for someone who loves a cat with a little sass and a whole lot of love. Meet Iris!Iris is a 2-year-old tabby who may be small in size, but she has a big personality. She loves affection, enjoys being around people, and is always happy to soak up pets and attention.While in our free-roam room, Iris showed us just how far she has come. She loved getting pets, playing with toys, and spending time around people. Like many cats, however, she can become overstimulated at times. Iris grew up as an only kitten and never had the chance to learn some of the social skills that cats typically pick up from feline companions. As a result, she is still learning that when she feels overwhelmed, she can simply walk away instead of expressing her feelings quite so dramatically. The good news is that she gets better and better every day.Although Iris has never officially lived with another cat, she has done well greeting nearby cats and spent time in our free-roam room with another female cat without any issues. For homes with resident cats, we recommend a two-week shutdown period and slow introductions to help everyone adjust successfully.Due to her occasional sassiness and tendency to become overstimulated, Iris would do best with children 12 and older who can respect her boundaries. She is looking for a home without dogs, as she has no prior experience living with them.Iris is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who appreciates a confident cat with a strong sense of self. In return, you'll get a playful, affectionate companion who is working hard every day to become the best version of herself. ❤️Iris was sponsored by Jody Baker “ The Property Toller”! Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive! ACSKC Health Care for Each Adopted Pet Includes:Dogs: Preventatives for parasites, vaccines (Kennel Cough, Distemper, Rabies), spay/neuter, microchip, behavioral assessment.Cats: Parasite treatment, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming for kittens, vaccines (Distemper, Rabies), spay/neuter, microchip.What You’ll Take Home:Toys, treats, and food sampleRabies tag, microchip number, and medical recordsA “Pet Pal Packet” with feeding info, training tips, and guidance for helping your new pet adjust

Plan a visit with the source organization
Once you’re ready to adopt, head over to our Adoption Application to fill out and submit the form. Once our Adoption Team has reviewed and approved your application, we will give you a call to schedule an appointment with the pet! When you arrive at ACSKC, you will be greeted by our Adoption Coordinator and taken to meet the pet, either in our Meet and Greet Room or one of the play yards. If you already have pets in the home, you may be asked to bring them with you for a meet and greet to ensure they will get along in the home (this typically only applies to dogs). If you and our Adoption Coordinator feel like it is a good match, we will then finalize the paperwork and send you home with a bag of goodies, including our “Welcoming Your New Pet Home Guide,” toys, treats and a sample bag of their pet food. If it is not a good match, you are welcome to meet the other available pets in the shelter. Your approved application will be kept on file for 90 days, so you’re encouraged to take your time before making a decision!
