About Ricotta

Meet Ricotta! This charming cat arrived at the Indiana County Humane Society after her caretaker passed away. Along with some friends, she came to us spayed and has the familiar tipped ears of a previously outdoor cat. Although Ricotta has shown some stubbornness in adjusting to her new life indoors and isn’t quite comfortable with our shelter staff yet, she's making progress every day. Patience is key with her; she has a lot of spirit and is on a journey to become a more social kitty. If you’ve got the time and love to help Ricotta grow, she could become your loyal companion. Ready to give this spicy queen the chance she deserves?
