About Rye

Rye is a shy young male cat currently looking for a forever home. He tends to retreat when he feels exposed, sometimes showing some classic ‘airplane ears’ and hissing—but don’t worry, he’s not aggressive. This gentle guy is learning to trust and needs a calm, quiet space to acclimate, such as a large dog crate or a small bathroom, where you can interact with him without overwhelming him. He has come a long way since being rescued with his siblings, and each day brings more progress as he learns that people can be safe and kind. To meet Rye, you can complete the online adoption application. He’s also available for visits during our weekly adoption event at PetSmart on Bleachery Blvd every Saturday from 12-4 PM. When adopted with a sibling, there’s a $50 discount on the combined fee making it even easier to give these kitties a matching home. All cats in our care are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Looking to make a difference? Start by welcoming Rye into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
