About Ripley

Ripley is a charming young kitten with stunning golden eyes. At first glance, he appears all black, but look closely and you'll spot a few white wispy hairs on his chest. He's an active little guy who loves to play and has plenty of energy to share. Affectionate by nature, Ripley enjoys being petted and shows his happiness through his delightful purrs. He has a friendly relationship with his foster siblings, and he's particularly fond of larger dogs, enjoying their company while envisioning himself as a little therapist with some foot massages. Ripley has been microchipped for safety, ensuring if he’s ever lost and found, he can easily be reunited with you. Because he thrives with companionship, adopting two cats is often recommended. This duo can help keep each other entertained and create less mischief when you're not home. Transitioning to a new environment can be a journey for Ripley. The rule of threes—three days to decompress, three weeks to settle in, and three months to truly feel at home—offers guidance for new adopters. Patience is key as he adjusts. Join Ripley on this journey, and you won't regret it! Every adoption with Feral Affairs Network ensures your new feline friend is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, screened for diseases, and treated for parasites. Their rescue is dedicated to finding loving homes for cats and helping them thrive. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
