Ricky

My story

Meet RICKY, a 10-month-old gray marble tabby boy who is so special. Ricky loves, loves, loves to play all the time! He is very entertaining and fun and a lively guy! When Ricky is done playing, he will cuddle right in your lap and purr away. Ricky does like to be with his people and can be quite vocal when left alone. He is currently in foster with a small dog who he gets along with but due to his very playful nature he can be a bit overwhelming for some other cats especially smaller or more timid cats. Perhaps a home with lots of toys and people who are home a lot (and maybe a dog) would be best. Ricky was born with very mild CH or cerebellar hypoplasia, which is a non-progressive neurological condition where he has slightly wobbly head and body movements. CH doesn’t slow him down at all and Ricky does everything any cat can do (he does sometimes need some patience / directing to wet food and can be a little messy when eating). If you have experience with CH cats or are willing to research and learn, you know CH cats are determined little souls that will touch your heart in a way you never felt before. Ricky does also have a little scarring in his left eye from an eye infection when he was younger. We think Ricky is absolutely PURRFECT the way he is and know there is an adopter out there who will too! Ricky is located in Westchester, NY. He is neutered, UTD on shots, and FIV/FeLV negative.
