About Rickey

Meet Rickey, a distinguished gentleman with a youthful spirit. He enjoys exploring his foster home, batting toys around, and watching birds from the window. This sweet and sociable boy loves giving headbutts and leans in for chin and neck rubs while purring with delight. Rickey is quite the chatterbox, using adorable merps and trills to greet you or express his excitement at mealtime. While he enjoys being around his people, he's not a lap cuddler; he appreciates his own space when it's time to relax. Regular brushing keeps his beautiful coat in top shape, complemented by his magnificent floofy tail and regal neck ruff. With his charms, he might just have a touch of Maine Coon in him! After being surrendered due to the loss of his beloved human and recovering from dental surgery, Rickey is eager for a fresh start. This charming senior seeks a home where he can enjoy quiet companionship, occasional play, and all the grooming he loves. If you're searching for an expressive and affectionate companion with a big personality, Rickey could be your perfect match.
