Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Murphysboro, Illinois

Ivy is the sweetest girl around! She’ll climb right into your lap, and climb right into your heart! (See what we did there?)

Ivy is a lover through and through. She came to our rescue HEAVILY pregnant, and after only 5 days in our care, she gave birth to 5 beautiful kittens. She did a fantastic job raising her kittens, and is ready for some pampering herself.

Ivy greets you with a happy little chirp, kneading paws, and a purr that just won’t quit. Plus those gorgeous green eyes? Show stopper.

She loves being picked up, carried around, and being held by her person. She’s fantastic with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, but she can be a bit picky about other cats. Can’t blame a girl, she’s spent most of her life defending herself on the streets. She’d like a little peace of her own.

She could be happy as an indoor/outdoor gal, but she’d also be pretty content to just stay curled up inside with you. She enjoys the occasional game of laser, her fishing wand, but the thing she loves most? Your company. She’s a fantastic companion, and would be happy to greet you at the end of the day with nothing but love to give.

Ivy’s adoption fee includes her spay, deworming, vaccines, FeLV/FIV test, microchip, and flea/heartworm preventative. Reach out to us today if you’re interested in Ivy!
