I am seeking your help in passing the word about a wonderful young kitty that needs a home. I found her abandoned, and when the weather became frigid took her in (though I'm highly allergic to cats!). All of the animal shelters are overflowing with cats right now, so I didn't take her to one (they all have to euthanize for space reasons). She's healthy, now spayed and a real sweetheart! Please pass the word to your friends, co-workers, etc.-- I am appreciative. Of course, I will carefully screen anyone interested in adopting her, and will only let her go to a responsible life-long home!

I have written a short description of her (below), and have available some photos that I can email. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

LOVING CAT SEEKS FOREVER HOME. Ivy is an (we think) Abyssinian/tabby mix with short grayish hair and a looong tiger-striped looking tail. She is very petite, about 1.5 yrs. old, very healthy, now spayed, dewormed and current on all shots. She is very social, loves to be petted and have her belly rubbed. She is litter-box trained and very affectionate with people. She was abandoned in my Bend neighborhood and so I took her in when it became freezing cold out (even though I am highly allergic to cats). I'm looking for only a loving and responsible life-long home for her; please pass the word on Ivy, and if anyone is interested in knowing more, seeing photos of her or meeting her, please email Deb (Put "IVY" in subject line please so I know it's not spam) at: benddogz@yahoo.com. Thanks!
