My story

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

Meet Nyx, a charming and affectionate Siamese cat with a personality as vibrant as his striking blue eyes. Nyx is a true companion, always ready to snuggle up and share his warmth and love. He’s known for his boundless curiosity and playful nature, which often earns him the nickname Rocket—his jumps during playtime are legendary!

Despite his confident leaps, Nyx has a tender, cautious side. This skittishness, endearing and unmistakable, has led to the nickname Skidders. His moments of surprise are as cute as they are quick, leaving you smiling every time. Whether it’s a door opening abruptly or a bid for attention, his bursts of energy and skittishness result in a sliding, bounding, and goofily entertaining kitty.

True to the Siamese reputation, Nix is incredibly vocal. He loves to have conversations and will make sure you know when he needs attention or has something important to say. This talkative trait has earned him the affectionate moniker Yapper-doodle—a fitting tribute to his adorable chatterbox ways. He loves food and will even sit and stay for treats at night while chattering all the way.

He will be your shadow cat as he is friendly and gentle, wanting your touch, kisses, and cuddles. He will paw for your pets and understands to be gentle with his claws when pulling your hand to his head. This has earned him the name Buddy. He has no problem curling up on your lap, in bed, or anywhere else you let him.

Whether he's leaping to new heights, yapping for your affection, or skittering across the room, Nix is a bundle of joy that fills your home with love and laughter.

Nyx would thrive best in a calm home as a solo cat and with a family that is home often. He possibly would enjoy a sweet calm dog who is cat friendly. He would love a home where his humans work from home and can give him lots of attention, playtime, and love.

  • 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.
