Ivy by Jeff & Nancy / Ivy

Ivy was the sweetest cat we have ever known, following me around the house every day. She didn’t like to be held, but if you were on the couch or on the bed, odds were that she would be there next to you, or even on you, purring her contentment. She came to us as a kitten, a stray that we took in. She was never very big, weighing in
at slightly over 6 pounds.

A year ago she was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure, and she even purred during her daily treatments. We would call out, “Ivy, bed-by time” and there were times that she would beat us to bed, waiting there with that ‘what took you so long’ look on her face. He health took a drastic decline in December, so we decided that she should get the sleep that she so deserved.

 

You will always be loved and always be missed
