About Rizzoli

Rizzoli is a sweet 3-year-old who has been waiting far too long for her happily ever after. Coming to us as a kitten at 8 months old, she has sadly been adopted and returned twice, neither time due to any fault of her own. The first adopter's resident cat hissed at Rizzoli, and she didn’t receive the gradual introduction she needed. Most recently, she was returned because the loud noises at home made her anxious, which is understandable given her sensitive nature. Rizzoli just needs a calm environment where she can adapt at her own pace. She loves to play, especially with dangly feather toys, and adores Churus treats. Once Rizzoli trusts you, she becomes a loving companion. Although she used to get along with other cats, her recent experiences have led us to recommend that she be the only feline in the house. This resilient cat would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home or one with older, respectful children. We're confident that someone patient and understanding will recognize that earning Rizzoli's trust is a rewarding journey. We promised to find her the right home, and we know her forever person is out there. Let’s ensure Rizzoli's third chance is the charm!
