About Ivy

Meet Ivy, a charming young cat with a personality that shines brightly. She arrived at one of our feral colonies last November and quickly learned to trust her human companions after being trapped and spayed. Initially shy, Ivy now thrives in foster care, showcasing her engaging and talkative nature. She loves to play and is often the first to greet her foster mom. While she can get a bit overstimulated—sometimes rolling over and playfully love-biting—she's looking for an adopter who has a bit of cat savvy and patience. Ivy has a great track record with other cats, having gotten along well with her kennel mates and the kitties in her current foster home. However, she hasn't had any exposure to dogs or children yet. Although she's been diagnosed with heartworms, her vet assures us she'll remain a healthy girl with proper care. With her adorable tabby coat and affectionate disposition, Ivy is ready for her forever home. Don't let this sweet girl wait too long; she’s packed and ready for a Meet and Greet with you!
