Story
Hello!  Eye-Ris was living in the streets with one eye, raising her own 4 babies, when she was surrendered to the shelter. There, they gave her 3 orphan kittens to feed. She took to them immediately and raised them as her own. All4Cats got her into foster and helped supplement her feedings. Now most of her babies have found their families, and she deserves the same. Eye-Ris is a quiet, timid girl. She will sit next to people, and likes being pet (especially under her chin!). But she's not a lap cat and doesn't like being picked up. She would benefit from a quiet, calm home. She LOVES other cats and would love to have some cat siblings. She hasn't met dogs to our knowledge, and may get along with calm dogs. She hasn't been around children while in foster, but may also do well with calm kids who don't pick her up. She's very food motivated, especially if it involves cheese or burgers or cheeseburgers. She has even learned how to open a pizza box and silently snag a fish filet off the counter. So if you're seeking a quiet, calm girl who will make sure you don't have any leftover cheese, she's your girl! She's currently eating Purina Cat Chow Naturals (dry), and Fancy Feast Grilled variety pack (wet). And cheese when she can get away with it.   I am located in the Wilmington, NC area. Unless otherwise noted I can be met on Saturdays at one of our adoption events. Pet Supplies Plus - North Wilmington (134 Hays Lane) from 11 am - 3 pm For more information about me you can text 910-707-4372, email info@all4cats.org, or visit www.facebook.com/all4catsrescue  Read the description above to know the location of this cat. We are located in Wilmington, NC. www.all4cats.org Wilmington: For more information www.facebook.com/all4catsrescue , email info@all4cats.org , or text 910-707-4372. October 17, 2025, 8:09 pm

She’s comfortable with friendly cats and will reward her family with gentle rubs and purrs once she feels safe and settled. Shenanigans Shannon is ready for a quiet, indoor home where she can feel secure and share her love .
