American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Wilmington, North Carolina

Meet Ivan – Your Gentle Giant 🐾

Ivan’s story started with a bit of mystery. He came from a local home where cats needed to be fixed, but when we returned him, no one claimed him. We posted him on lost and found pages, hoping his family would come forward—but no one did. Now, Ivan is ready for a new beginning with a family who will love him as much as he deserves.

This 14-pound sweetheart is truly a gentle giant. Ivan is the kind of cat who greets you at the door, stretching up to say hello the moment you walk into the room. He has a calm, affectionate nature and absolutely thrives on attention. If you're looking for a loving companion who will happily soak up pets and keep you company, Ivan is your guy.

Ivan gets along well with other cats and has such a gentle personality that we believe he would do wonderfully in a variety of homes—including those with kids, other cats, and possibly even a respectful dog.

If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, affectionate cat who will make your home feel warmer the moment you walk in, Ivan is ready to meet you. 💛

Come give this sweet boy the forever home he’s been waiting for.
