Ivan's Story.

Hi everybody! I'm Ivan. I don't really remember too much from my life before I got to the shelter, or even how I got there, but I do know it was way back in January. I had a broken leg when I was found and brought in, so you know that wasn't good.

I received wonderful care at the shelter. I even spent some time at a foster home while I recuperated. I know I had some trouble keeping my little teeth off the cast and I surely hated that stupid cone I had to wear!

As you can imagine, it took some time for me to become socialized. Lots of people helped. In fact, there was a whole group of people who formed my adoption team, and there was even a note on the fishbowl room where I was that someone from my team had to meet with any potential adopter. They thought I was so special that I think I was the only one there who had such a team!

I knew right away when my true mom showed up. I think she really was planning on the little girl who was in with me and Izzy, but I wouldn't let her pay attention to anyone else. One of my team came into the room and even said he'd never ever seen me respond to anyone that way!

And of course, all I had to do was look deep into her eyes and she was like, Girl cat? What girl cat? I need this little boy!
