Iris

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Female, Indoor, Blind, around 1 year old. Iris is the sweetest, most loving lady, who can only see shadows, so she is a bit wary of other cats. But she still loves sleeping on laps and is constantly purring and rubbing against people. Iris was found in Tunis with 2 other kittens who were blind and the woman who found them asked Meriam to foster them for her. Two other kittens sadly died and Iris was the last survivor. The woman who found them abandoned them with Meriam with no word. Blind cats are truly amazing and can get around very well, surprising everyone! Once they have mapped out their surroundings. Iris would do great in an indoor home, as an only cat or with quiet cats that will give her some space. She needs a lot of love and warm laps to cuddle with. Could her safe happy home be with you?

About Iris

What life with Iris looks like

Iris is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Iris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Iris?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Iris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Iris if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Iris already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Iris isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Iris and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
