About Riptide

Meet Riptide, a spirited kitten with an energetic side that shines through in his playful antics. Operating at two speeds—full sprint and fast asleep—he adds extra excitement during mealtime with his adorable chirps, especially when he’s ready for wet food. After being left behind when his caretaker passed away, Riptide was the first to greet rescuers, immediately seeking affection and purring like he was waiting for them. His purring hasn’t slowed down since; it’s quite the symphony! Looking handsome with a unique wiry coat inherited from his Devon Rex lineage, Riptide sports a sleek black appearance that sometimes reveals a faint wave when the light hits just right. He enjoys wrestling with fellow kittens and is cautious in new situations, often checking in with older cats first to gauge their reactions. He gets along well with other cats and children, making him a great fit for a lively home. While he finds dogs intriguing, they don’t quite excite him as much as his feline friends.
