About Richie

Richie is an adorable 9-week-old buff tabby male kitten, sporting a charming white bib and white boots. He's a playful spirit, combining boundless energy with a healthy dose of curiosity. Recently, he took a little adventure that left him covered in black bicycle grease after attempting to climb and investigate a bike! Not to worry—a bath is just another fun opportunity for him, and he actually enjoys getting cleaned up. He's quite attached to his sister Sydney, following her everywhere and enjoying playful wrestling matches. When not seeking out fun nooks to explore, he loves gathering his toys in his cat tent, almost as if preparing for a playful siege. Richie's charming way of asking for attention involves weaving around your legs until you lift him up. He thrives on companionship and should ideally be adopted with one of his siblings, or to a home with another young and playful cat. You'll often find him napping on your lap while you work or waiting patiently for a brushing appointment. This little explorer is looking for a loving home in Novato, CA. Ready to welcome Richie into your life?
