My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jonathan is a sweet, incredibly affectionate cat who’s ready to find the loving, stable home he truly deserves. He adores human company and would thrive in a home where someone is around for much of the day. This handsome guy is looking for a patient and understanding companion—someone who respects his boundaries, appreciates his quirks, and can offer him the consistency and care he craves.

Jonathan’s personality is as vibrant as his fur. A natural communicator, he’ll often chat with you in soft meows and gentle purrs, clearly expressing his needs and emotions. He loves interactive play and meaningful connection, whether it's chasing a toy or simply sitting beside you in quiet companionship.

One of his most charming habits? Reaching out with a soft paw tap when he wants your attention. He also treasures lap time, happily leaning against your chest and pressing his head into you for comfort and closeness. Jonathan especially loves his bedtime and morning rituals, when he can soak up affection and feel safe and connected.

Jonathan does have a few medical needs—he’s managing IBD and early-stage kidney issues, which require a prescription diet, daily medications, and regular grooming. But through it all, he remains a gentle, loving soul, eager to give and receive affection. He truly shines with a consistent caregiver who can maintain his routine and support his health needs.

Jonathan must be the only pet in the home—he thrives as your one and only. In return, he offers unwavering love, loyalty, and companionship.

If you're looking for a devoted feline friend and can offer Jonathan the attention, stability, and care he needs, we’d love to hear from you. You might just be the perfect match he’s been waiting for.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
