Meet Ivan, a gentle boy with a gentle demeanor

Age: 5.5 years

Ivan’s story: Ivan has a shy, gentle soul. This sweet boy adores chin scratches and soft pets, and the best way to win his heart is with patience, kindness and a little encouragement with string toys. He jumps up on his back legs and shakes his tail when he is excited. Ivan takes some time to trust humans, but once he feels safe and comfortable, his playful personality begins to shine. As his confidence grows, Ivan becomes a true lovebug. He’ll even come half the time that he’s called – he is a cat, after all! He enjoys cuddling and loves sleeping on the bed at night with his foster family. Ivan gets along well with other easygoing cats and would thrive in a calm, loving home that understands that shy kitties blossom at their own pace. With patience and love, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, happy, deeply affectionate companion. Apply to meet Ivan today, and you may just meet your perfect new family member.

Ivan is up-to-date on vaccines and has been microchipped and treated for parasites and fleas. He’s tested negative for FIV/FeLV.
