Iris

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

by Cattery | Aug 9, 2026 | Cats, Female, Liverpool, Cats, Female, Liverpool This beauty queen is a whole lot of fun. She is curious, cuddly and a fluffball to boot. She came to us after being found abandoned in Seaforth with her 4 kittens in a carrier during a heatwave. We admitted them as an emergency and managed to get them into one of our wonderful foster homes. The kittens are now ready to find their homes and so is mama. Iris is ready to leave her babies behind and zooms out of her pen at any possible chance. We have absolutely no history for Iris but she did have experience with children in her foster home and was fine with them. We think she could potentially live with another cat given slow and careful introductions. We would consider a home with a calm, cat-savvy dog. She has had a clean bill of health and will be neutered and vaxed before adoption. Exclusive merchandise available direct from the rescue.

About Iris

What life with Iris looks like

Iris is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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. Freshfields Animal Rescue 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 — Freshfields Animal Rescue 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 Freshfields Animal Rescue 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.
