About Rigby in Colorado

Meet Rigby, an incredibly handsome 15-year-old long-haired orange kitty ready to steal your heart. This distinguished senior gentleman can be a bit shy around new people, but once he warms up, he reveals himself to be an exceptionally affectionate and loyal companion. Rigby is a social butterfly when it comes to dogs, getting along great with them. However, he is more selective about which cats he befriends. He is fully litter box trained, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. After recently breezing through a mass removal surgery and a dental procedure, he feels fantastic and is ready for a forever home. As with many older cats, Rigby has a few age-related health issues. He requires subcutaneous fluids twice a week to keep him happy and comfortable, but he manages this routine well. This amazing guy has so much love to give, promising to bring joy and warmth to your home every single day. If you’re ready to give this sweet senior the loving retirement he deserves, please consider adopting him. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
