My story

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

Lara is an absolutely adorable and incredibly sweet kitty. She is very attentive and just an all around fabulous girl to have as a loving furpanion. She's got loads of energy and loves to play. Lara loves human interaction and she asks for it in the most loving way! She will look to you for attention and once you give her your smile and words of encouragement, she comes up rubbing against your legs and wanting lots of pets. Lara loves you to talk to her and responds in kind. She likes to snuggle with you on your lap, help you in the office, follow you around or curl up on the bed with you and the other kitties at night. Lara is looking for a quiet forever home where she will get lots of cuddles and playtime, esp. with wand toys and fuzzy mice and lots and lots of loving attention from her humans, which she will gladly reciprocate. Lara will do best in a quiet home with a companion who is home most of the day.
Lara is FIV+ and she can live with other cats as long as they all get along peacefully and do not fight. (FIV transmission most often occurs through deep, penetrating bite wounds). Quality nutrition and routine vet care are the most important things needed to keep Lara as healthy and active as she is now. Consider meeting this lovely girl today and give her the chance to show you just how special she is! It might just be the best decision that you've ever made!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Requirements

You must be prepared to make a lifetime commitment to the animal.

You may not be an undergraduate student.

You must be a US citizen or green card holder.

Adoption Process

Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

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.
