About Ivy
Ivy is a gorgeous two-year-old with a sleek black coat and a personality that fills the room. She’s bold, expressive, and has a knack for making her feelings known, especially when it comes to receiving affection—on her terms. Petting is not optional for Ivy; she’ll let you know if your hands clock out early, sometimes with a swat to bring you back on the job. She handles boundaries like a pro and needs a cat-savvy home that’s willing to love a cat with sass and spirit. If you read her cues, you’ll get tons of love mixed with a dash of attitude. Ivy does well with other cats and even gets along with an elderly husky in her foster setting. She could live with older, respectful kids, but small children might find her too much to handle. This confident cat is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, negative for FeLV/FIV, dewormed, and flea-treated. Ivy must be kept indoors and her new family should be committed to never declawing her. Think Ivy’s spirited approach sounds like home? She’s waiting in Portland, ME, for the right match. Adoption fee is sponsored. Click apply to start the adoption process.
