About Ivy

Ivy is a lovely, dilute calico cat whose gentle nature is matched by her striking looks. After losing her original home and moving between several places, she has grown a bit wary, but she's still full of hope. At first, Ivy keeps to herself, preferring a quiet corner and soft observation. With steady affection, patience, and the occasional treat, she'll begin to trust and let her personality shine. Ivy does best in a calm environment with someone who appreciates her need for space to adjust. She enjoys a mellow atmosphere where she can observe family life from a cozy spot, gradually becoming more confident as she settles in. With a caring, gentle hand, Ivy is sure to bloom—becoming the affectionate and curious companion she was born to be. She's fully vetted: spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, deflead, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Microchipped for safety. Ivy gets along with other cats and does well after a proper introduction. She may take some time to adjust but rewards patience with a quietly loving presence. Give Ivy a chance to find the stability and love she's been searching for. Ready to meet your new best friend?
