By the beginning of February, Ivy was completely off medication, and his wound had healed nicely. By this point, Ivy’s playfulness was at the forefront of his personality, and he loved to play tug with the sheets and blankets in his kennel (and often with his caretakers, too, when they tried to remove the linens).
After providing Ivy with the necessary care and ensuring his well-being, the decision was made to release him on February 7th.
Initially, he seemed hesitant to leave his kennel. However, once he touched the forest floor, he headed straight for a towering tree, briefly glanced back at those who provided for him, and then skillfully ascended the tree without a second thought.
Ivy's journey was undoubtedly filled with twists and turns, but witnessing his remarkable transformation and his return to the wild was truly inspiring.
