When she wants affection, she’ll weave around your legs and charm you with her chirping. While Rio hasn’t met any dogs, she’s got a gentle nature and is known to get along well with children. She prefers to be the only cat in the home, soaking up your attention as a loyal and loving companion. Tuxedo to the core, Rio has a striking pink nose that her foster raves about.
