Ivan is our philosopher and our poet at the building with his mind containing the secrets of his species from eons long past. He is highly intelligent and loves to share his thoughts with anyone interested. Our volunteers love to listen to him and while listening to all he has to say, they get to love on him! Besides Ivan's lovable talkative features, he also loves to play. He can play a little rough with the younger felines, but not in a malicious way. He just likes to have the upper hand. 

We have learned that Ivan has a special bond with another Catsnap cat, Beth.  These two get along well (no roughhousing) and provide each other stability in a world that was uncertain before they came to us.  Ivan can only be adopted with his companion, Beth.

Ivan does test positive for FIV.  Cats typically pick this up when fighting on the streets.  It spreads through deep bite wounds, not casual contact, and only other cats can get it, not dogs, humans, or any other animal.  FIV is simply a lowered immune system, and cats with FIV can live the same average lifespan as cats without it--as long as they are well cared for and kept indoors, as all Catsnap cats should be!  Ivan would like a chance for himself and Beth to have a home where they will be seen for the unique cats that they are, not for a diagnosis.  Could it be yours?

Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!
 
If you would like to meet a cat, please complete the online application located on our website catsnap.org. 
 
We do not have a walk-in facility; most of our cats are in foster homes.  For this reason, we require an approved application on file before we set up a meet and greet.
Completing an online application does not obligate you to adopt! We care deeply about our cats and want the best match for all involved.
 
All CATsNAP cats and kittens are: 
  • Vaccination against Panleukopenia (Distemper), Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus 

  • Vaccination against Rabies (if animal is over 4 months of age)

  • Testing for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) 

  • Initial de-worming, flea, and ear mite treatment

  • Sterilization of the animal prior to adoption; no exceptions

  • Micro-chipping as mandated by state law
