Ivory, and his sister, Esme, came to us a few months ago after being rescued by another organization. At the time they were about 5-6 months old, were skinny, were under-socialized, and were suffering with respiratory and eye infections. It took some time for this pair to get back up to health, but they’re now doing well and are ready to find their forever homes.
We believe this pair started off their lives living outside as feral kittens. They are nervous nellies when they are in new environments or when meeting new people, but once they’re are comfortable around you, they are really sweet. The kittens are playful but are also very sweet, docile and not super high energy. They would do well in a smaller space, like a condo or apartment.
Ivory is more brave than is Esme. He is keen to explore the house and he enjoys head scratches, belly rubs, and some lap time. Although it took a little while to get to see these kittens’ personalities, one thing that was immediately obvious is that Ivory absolutely LOVES the medium-sized dog in his foster home. He is always rubbing on her, grooming her, letting her groom him, and snuggling. Even when he’s not certain of his surroundings, he loves to be around the dog. Because of this, we would really love to see him in a home with a dog that can be his friend. He is also good with other cats so could go to a home with both a cat and a dog.
Ivory is looking for an adult-only home with someone who has experience working with under-socialized cats. He is only about 9-10 months old so is still young enough to blossom into a wonderful companion. He just needs to find someone who has the patience and the experience to help guide him.
