Ivy - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Vaughan, Ontario

**NOTE: All AVA kittens under 12 months of age MUST be adopted in pairs or to a home with another young cat. AVA does not accept applications for single kittens**

***Ivy MUST have a fun kitty playmate in her new home. Sister Lola is a natural choice and auntie Jacy has been a comfort; but Ivy would be fine with another young, friendly but gentle cat who will play with her and cuddle her close when all the playing is done.

Ruca and Zaria are two young mother and daughter who were lucky to be rescued so they can give birth in warmth and comfort indoors. Myles, Lexis, Shiloh, Ethan, Ricky, Hendry and Bron are the boys. Jacy, Lola, Bayley, Lyra and Ivy are the girls.

Ivy is a playful and goofy girl that loves to explore. Growing up with 11 other siblings means you always have a bunch of playmates, but Ivy is looking forward to things quieting down so that she can get more attention and toys to herself.
She loves to play with her aunt Jacy and especially loves mouse-shaped toys that make a rattling sound when shaken, as well as the spring tube toys.

Sometimes if you let her, she'll sit on your shoulder like a parrot so she can watch the world from up high!

Ivy is a sweet, active and curious little grey bean settling down to securing her place in a chaotic clowder of energetic kittens. Her brave and fierce determination not to be left behind is an inspiration and a constant reminder that life is precious. She is ready to go forward and explore her future with people who will cherish her, and maybe sister Lola or auntie Jacy by her side to provide comfort and familiarity.

Would you like to make Ivy, and maybe sister Lola or auntie Jacy too, a part of your family? Please complete our online application found at: https://www.avacats.org/adoption-application-form.

Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two dewormings and microchipping.

Adoption fees are $275 for each kitten up to 12 months old. Please note that fees may apply for additional required vaccinations (at $75 per booster) due prior to adoption. Total adoption fees will be confirmed by the AVA Adoption Coordinator.

All AVA kittens 12 months or younger must be adopted in pairs or go to a home with another young cat (3 years or younger). Kittens learn from each other how to behave, which helps them turn into well-adjusted adult cats. In general, paired cats have happier and healthier lives because they have a constant companion and playmate. Plus, it's twice the fun for you, and half the work!
