Meet Ivy, a brave little survivor with a spirit that refuses to be dimmed. At just one year old, Ivy has already endured more than most cats do in a lifetime, having been rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation of over 85 animals. When she first sought help, she was a skeletal four pounds and literally starving to death—yet, in a remarkable act of trust, she followed a kind neighbor home as if she knew it was her only chance at survival. Today, Ivy is a testament to resilience; despite her difficult start, she is an absolute purr-machine who lives for affection. She is incredibly loving and cuddly, always looking for the nearest lap to curl up in and show her gratitude. Ivy has spent her life fighting for a tiny bit of space, so she is now ready to be the center of someone's world, trading her hungry past for a lifetime of cozy naps and endless chin scratches.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption process is designed with the pet and the family in mind. We look to make the process as easy and efficient as possible for our adopters, while also preserving the key safeguards that ensure we place our kitties with loving homes they can be sure to stay with forever. Sometimes we may ask for a virtual home visit via video or FaceTime to gain more insight into what kind of kitty will best fit your lifestyle and environment.
