Do not apply if you would ever consider declawing this or any cat.<br/><br/>Adopters are chosen based on the best fit for each cat, not first come, first served.<br/><br/><br/>SPECIFICS<br/>8-year-old, purebred, Persian, Silver Tabby, copper eyes, spayed female, 7 1/2 pounds, with claws.<br/><br/>Cat friendly: yes, with a respectful cat or two.<br/><br/>Dog friendly: probably with appropriate introductions to a dog that would ignore her.<br/><br/>Kid friendly: 8yrs+ that are respectful of cat boundaries<br/><br/>Special Needs: none<br/><br/><br/>GETTING TO KNOW ME<br/>This affectionate Persian is pure love in a fluffy package! Ivy adores attention and would happily spend all day in your lap. She's the perfect companion for quiet evenings—a little wand toy play followed by snuggling on the couch while you read or watch movies is her idea of paradise.<br/><br/>IDEAL HOME<br/>Ivy would thrive with an attentive family who's home regularly. She'd enjoy a feline friend but is equally content as your one and only. Cat-savvy kids 8+ are welcome, and a respectful dog could work with proper introductions. Her wishlist includes cat trees near windows for bird-watching and cozy spots to lounge with her favorite humans. And she'd be extra happy with some daily wand playing.<br/><br/>PERSONALITY & HABITS<br/>Looking like a fluffy Ewok, Ivy is easy-going and affectionate without being overly demanding, Ivy just wants your love and attention. She had an ear infection many years ago that resulted in a slight head tilt but it doesn't slow her down one bit. She's excellent with scratching posts (both vertical and horizontal) and perfect with her litter box. She has Persian roommates available if you're interested in adopting a pair!<br/><br/>CARE REQUIREMENTS<br/>*Feeding: Canned pâté twice daily (she's thriving on this diet!)<br/>*Litter: Large, open-style box with unscented clumping litter (one box per cat, plus one extra)<br/>*Grooming: Currently growing out from a lion cut, so grooming is easy now. Will need combing 2-3 times weekly (just 5-10 minutes) to prevent mats and hairballs. Monthly nail trims are a breeze. Daily eye wipes with Eye Envy keep her face clean and healthy.<br/><br/>No declawing ever<br/><br/>TRANSITION TIPS<br/>Ivy needs a patient family who understands that settling in takes time—often up to 3 months. Start her in a basecamp room and introduce her to the home gradually. Research proper cat introductions, especially if you have other pets.<br/>Hazel is ready to be your devoted companion. Could she be your perfect match?<br/><br/>VETTING PROVIDED<br/>Exam, spayed, tested negative for FELV/FIV, FVRCP and rabies vaccinated, stenotic nares surgery for improved breathing, full dental, completed parasite protocol, microchip and full senior health panel which includes cbc/chem, T3/T4 and UA.<br/><br/>LOCATION AND ADOPTION<br/>Fostered in Valparaiso, Indiana (45 min from Chicago and SW Michigan, 2 hours from Wisconsin).<br/><br/>Adoption fee is $300.00<br/><br/>PurrHarmony, Inc. does not transport or ship cats.
