My Story

Iona and her siblings, Irina and Ivan (adopted), were rescued from a feral colony when they were about 7 or 8 weeks old. They were all very sick with bad eye infections, and with lots of care, they have improved by leaps and bounds!  Iona is a classic marbled or mackerel tabby with white socks. She is very cute, and while Iona has become more accustomed to being pet and picked up, she can still be somewhat apprehensive about being handled by humans, especially strangers, and requires a patient adopter and a quiet home without small children. Once she starts purring, Iona does enjoy being pet, but she can be a challenge to get ahold of when running loose in the house. Please consider adopting Iona with her sister, Irina, or her friend, Freddy Friend. Single-kitten adoptions are possible when there are other playful and cat-friendly cats in the home. Learn more about the reason why we don't adopt kittens out alone. Foster-to-adopt one or more kittens while they await their spay/neuter surgeries and an official adoption can be executed. We recommend they be kept in a bathroom or spare room away from other cats for the time being.  This litter has an estimated date of birth of October 14th, 2025.
