About Big Boy

Big Boy lost his home and faced a near-death experience, making him a resilient feline. He is one of five senior cats who have endured more hardship than any animal should. Following the passing of his beloved owner, he and his companions found themselves at risk of euthanasia. Fortunately, Rescue Ridge intervened just in time, saving seven cats who now have the chance for a new beginning. Though his exact age isn’t known, he’s estimated to be around 10 years old. Despite the upheaval in his life, Big Boy remains a sweet and affectionate boy who craves those gentle pets and loving touches. He can’t quite understand why he was left behind, but he is ready to create new memories in a loving home. Big Boy deserves cozy spots by sunny windows, a bowl full of food, and, most importantly, a warm heart to call home once more. His fellow buddies—Spanky, Figaro, Lucy, and Slick—are also seeking homes and can be adopted together with him if desired. Ready to give this deserving cat a second chance?
