IVY

Ivy was found as a stray in Cleveland Ohio
Ivy had been living outdoors eating with the feral cats and gave birth to at least one litter that we know of while
being homeless and living out in the cold in all weather here in Cleveland
We believe that Ivy is Ginny's mother cat as she was the cat who first brought Ginny to CODA to eat
where food is left out for the feral and stray cats in the area.
Ivy was thrown to live outdoors because her irresponsible human caretakers found fleas on her and didn't want fleas in the house because they had a new baby so out the door Ivy went
These same irresponsible pet owners of course did not get Ivy spayed before throwing her outdoors to fend for herself
Nor did the irresponsible pet owners provide food for Ivy
Ivy took to wandering across a busy road to get to CODA's main facility where food is always left out
for stray cats, squirrels and birds to eat if they are hungry

After Ivy became pregnant and gave birth to 4 kittens, she started to bring Ginny over daily to eat at CODA's main facility. Ginny is the only kitten of the litter who has been trusting of the humans at CODA and Ginny began to start thanking us
for her daily meals by allowing herself to be petted and held
Ginny was very chubby and did have good nutrition since birth from her daily feedings at CODA
Ivy was also well fed throughout her pregnancy by CODA's feral feeding program
The weather recently turned very cold and one morning Ivy came to CODA's door asking for more than just food
Ivy wanted a warm place to hide from the cold blowing winds and pending snow and ice

Since CODA's main foster facility provides sanctuary to feline lukemia positive cats Ivy could not
stay there after she tested negative for FELV and FIV
Ubi's ( Katrina Dog) foster parents agreed to foster Ivy while CODA seeks Ivy's perfect new home for her.


Ivy spent two weeks in quarantine at CODA's main facility before moving to her foster home and has started her treatment for tapeworms and is due for her second set of droncet shorty
Ivy is already enjoying having a new WARM, loving foster home
Ivy has already received all her necessary vaccinations and will be spayed prior to placement in a new home
Ivy's foster home has a 4 year old daughter and Ivy is very gentle and sweet with her.
Ivy doesn't much care for dogs at all and would do best in a home with no dogs.
Ivy is coming along very well on her litter box training and socialization!
