About Ripley

Meet Ripley, a big, fluffy boy known for his playful spirit and the gentle way he takes treats. He has an endearing beauty mark on his face and a tiny scar on his nose, a hint of his past as a feral cat. While he displays a unique personality, his sweet side shines through when he plays, making it hard not to fall for him. Ripley is seeking a loving, low-key home where he can continue to build trust on his own terms. As part of a feral cat colony that arrived at the shelter years ago, he thrives with the companionship of others from his colony. Ripley and his fellow cats would benefit greatly from a cat-savvy adopter who understands the rewards of building relationships with semi-feral cats. Going into a new home without a buddy may add to their stress after all they've been through. Most of these cats enjoy playing with toys, while some are open to being petted, but they all are on a journey of socialization. If you’re interested in fostering a connection with Ripley and possibly another cat from his colony, fill out an application on our website to arrange a visit. Your new buddy is waiting!
