Meet Isis! How adorable is she?
Isis is Sirus’s 15 year old sister. We picked her up from IACS on 12/17/21. She was surrendered by her owner who was too ill to care for her properly. She is super sweet, has the cutest meow and loves to be held.
Isis is not feeling too good right now. She has an URI (upper respiratory infection) and is sneezing a lot, has crusty eyes and nose and is not eating much. We took her to the vet on Tuesday. She was scared but did really well and was fully cooperative. Isis is on antibiotics right now and we also have an appetite stimulant for her. We hope she gets to feeling better soon!
Isis will be available for adoption after she’s fully recovered. She is bonded with her brother, Sirus, so they will need to be adopted together.
Update 2022/02/28: Isis is now healthy and ready for adoption with her brother, Sirus!
Update 2022-06-09: Isis is a small cat and is completely adorable! She tends to be very shy and depends on her brother, Sirus, for most everything. Isis tends to “bully” Taylor and Gigi, so we watch them all closely. We think it is because she’s a little scared of them. We started her on anti-anxiety medication and that has helped. Isis has Feline Herpes and does have flare ups, occasionally, needing medication. We feel it is due to the stress of living with so many other cats. She eats well (hard and wet food) and likes some hard treats. Isis plays with a wand toy once in a while but prefers to sleep. She is a total “lap cat”!
Update 2023-03-30: Isis is a sweet old gal, but continues to have some issues with the cats that have big, out going personalities. We feel she is actually intimidated by them but tries to hide it by “going after” them if they growl at her or get too close to her. Isis is adorable and is a complete sweetheart with her human caregivers. Isis lost her brother, Sirus, about a month ago and has been really sad and a little “lost” without him. She depended on him a lot. We are trying to give her extra attention to help her adjust with the loss.
Update 2024-10-16: It’s taken us several days to be able to put into words our deep sorrow we feel over the loss of our sweet Isis on Wednesday. We believe she had a stroke or some other kind of vestibular/neurological event. We got her to the vet as quickly as possible, but there was nothing that could be done.
We had Isis since 12/21. We still remember going to IACS Rescue to pick up her, her brother Sirus, and 4 other senior cats. She was so scared! Isis clung to the homemade box/hidey hole in her cage. Isis and Sirus were both very sick for several weeks due to stress. We gave them antibiotics, steroids, sub q fluids and fed them with syringes. We got them healthy. But over the time we had her, she would get sick very quickly, so we would do that regimen countless times.
Isis was so gentle and sweet. We took her to Sunrise On Old Meridian for a visit with their independent living residents. She marched around their community room like she owned the place! Isis let all of the seniors hold her, pat her, kiss her, cuddle her…and then she went and sat on a gold chair like it was her throne!!
Isis loved and bonded with every single one of our team members and guests who came to visit. There will never be another sweet Angel like her. We are completely crushed! We miss her so much. But we are thankful knowing she’s reunited with Sirus in heaven.
Thank you to Dr. Johnson, Kara and Ellen at VCA Companion Animal Medical Center for taking good care of Isis. For showing her love and compassion, helping her cross into her next life.
