Iris is a 4-year-old Tortoiseshell Longhair in Grass Valley, CA, who needs $2,000 for serious oral surgery to extract all her teeth.

She is a rescue cat first owned by druggies who fed her only people food as a kitten was rescued couldnt stay with rescuer
Went to another house where cats and dogs terrorized her and tried to eat her to the point she lived outside under porch
Then came to me and has been here for 3 yrs
When she came here she didnt trust anybody amd would not go outside on our balcony as she was scared shed be locked out for good.
She used to bite and hiss and sneak smack you again from being so scared of life. She now sleeps and snuggles with our dogs and my older daughter at night on her bed. Iris has become one of the house favorites....she barely ever meows and will cover up a mess that she didnt make in the litter box !! Shes a very proper house cat that came from abuse neglect and being outside unwillingly. She has given us so much a d taught people in our family how valuable love and patience can truly be. She deserves to feel good again. She wont eat her food with the others because she is in pain while eating and feels vulnerable due to her condition. She cries and screams in pain if any food touches her teeth or gums ....she has to swallow her food whole and isnt eating properly due to her pain !!!
