My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ivy 🌿

Ivy is a gentle, nurturing soul with a heart as big as her beautiful green eyes. This sweet mama not only raised her own litter of kittens, but also took in five extra babies who needed a mom—and she cared for every single one with quiet devotion.

Her journey hasn’t been easy. Ivy was surrendered by her previous owner because a family member developed severe COPD and required oxygen at home. It was a heartbreaking decision, but one made out of love and necessity.

Now that all her kittens have grown and found homes, Ivy is ready for her turn—a calm, cozy home where she can finally rest, relax, and be the one getting all the love and care.

She’s a little shy at first, but once she feels safe, Ivy blossoms into a sweet and affectionate companion. She’ll thrive in a peaceful environment where she can settle in at her own pace and let her gentle personality shine.

If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal friend who’s given so much love and is now ready to receive it in return, Ivy might just be your perfect match. 💚

More about this shelter

The Gateway Area Humane Society was established in 1982 with a deep commitment to protecting and improving the lives of animals in our community. In the early years, we operated without a physical facility, focusing our efforts on neglect and cruelty investigations, follow-ups, and rescuing animals from county shelters and directly from the public. Even then, our goal was clear: to provide care, compassion, and second chances to animals in need.

Over the years, we've grown into a full-service organization with a shelter and spay/neuter clinic, allowing us to expand our impact. We house both dogs and cats with the hope of helping them find their forever homes. We occasionally partner with out-of-state rescues to further our mission.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that the only long-term solution to pet overpopulation is to promote spaying and neutering in every way possible. Through community education, accessible services, and dedicated rescue work, we remain committed to creating a safer, more compassionate world for animals—one pet at a time.
