My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Ivy is a gentle newcomer to the shelter who’s still finding her footing in a new world. She’s a quiet, sensitive soul who will do best with someone patient and kind—someone who understands that trust takes time. With a calm home, a slow approach, and space to adjust, Ivy has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion. Ivy spent the week at a foster home during the January 2026 snowstorm. She started out shy and curious, but once she found a comfy office chair covered with soft towels, she claimed it! While lounging in her chair, she learned to enjoy gentle chin scratches and soft strokes, responding happily by stretching out on her back, paws out, delivering soft purrs. If you believe the best relationships are built gently, Ivy may be the perfect match for you.
