About Ivy

Ivy is a charming adult cat, just over a year old, who still embodies the playful spirit of a kitten combined with the affection of maturity. Rescued from Erie’s lower east side, she found a second chance thanks to a compassionate Good Samaritan. With her sweet demeanor, Ivy loves being close to those she trusts. Her delight in catnip toys is unmatched; hand her one and you’ll see pure joy in her eyes. Although she thrives on attention, the bustle of shelter life can be a bit much for her. Ideally, she’d blossom in a home as the sole feline or possibly with one or two calm companions, given proper introductions. At her core, Ivy is a loving girl ready to relax, play, and fill her new home with affection. She comes fully vetted and combo test negative, ready for her forever family.
