I am currently in a foster home and not at HSNBA, if you are interested in meeting me, please contact the nice folks at HSNBA so they can put you in contact with my foster family to set up a meet & greet. E-mail HSNBA at adoption@hsnba.org, call us at: (830) 629-5287 or stop by and speak with the folks at HSNBA at 3353 Morningside Dr. to get your information sent over to my foster home. My foster family is the best and can give you more information on me.

Hi, I’m Ivy!

I'm being fostered with our cat wellness coordinator right now. I’m a beautiful 6-month-old tortie with a very special little wobble. I have a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia (CH)—also known as “wobbly cat syndrome.” This simply means the part of my brain that controls balance didn’t fully develop, so my head and body may shake a bit and I can be a little wobbly when I walk. The important thing to know? It isn’t painful, and I’m still a very happy, playful kitten!

Because of my wobbliness, I do best in a home with lower cat trees and cozy places to play and rest where I won’t have far to fall. I get around just fine, I just do it with a little extra flair!

I enjoy sitting in laps for short periods, but my favorite thing is playing with other cats or kittens. I’m used to having foster siblings and would love a playful friend in my new home (though it’s not absolutely required). My favorite toys are soft ones like mousies and kickers that I can chase and wrestle with.

I’m a sweet girl, but I do startle easily, so I’d be happiest in a quieter home without young children. Loud noises—especially the vacuum (the horror!)—can be a bit scary for me.

Right now I’m living it up in a foster home, so I’m not at the shelter building.
