About Riri

Riri is a shy, striking black cat who spent time being socialized at Monroe Prison and has now graduated to the next chapter—finding a peaceful home to call her own. Her foster dad calls her the nicest cat you could hope for. Patience is key with Riri; once she knows you, she melts into cuddles and loves to be brushed. Always up for gentle attention, she responds especially well to Churra treats and catnip, and won’t turn down soft food or kibble. Riri is looking for a calm, child-free home without dogs, though she does get along with relaxed cats. With strangers, she’s reserved at first, but once she feels safe, she’s affectionate and loyal. Her new family should be prepared to give her the time she needs to settle in and feel secure. Riri takes a daily medication to manage feline asthma, which keeps her comfortable and content. She has been spayed, microchipped, viral tested, and her vaccinations are current. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
