Rio

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me:Rio is laying on her side on her kuranda bed, body and eyes neutral. As the door is opened, she trills and begins rolling on her back. She is at first hesitant to approach the front of the kennel, but after a few seconds comes to the front to greet assessor. She accepts all petting, purring, leaning into it, and head bunts assessor's hand. Rio is able to be easily picked up and remains calm while being held. When placed back down she continues to be calm and easy to handle.Rio interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat is suitable for any level of adopter experience.My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.A volunteer writes: Rio's only a year old but admirably adept at making the most of things. Currently in a top condo in the hustling and bustling hallway, Rio's always ready to put herself out there and he kind of has to be or people might walk on by. So, embracing each opportunity like the celebration it is with the heartbreaking smile of someone who only needs a chance, Rio bounces into cuddles with new friends. She was brought to us with other cats and though we don't have much to go on when it comes to her history, she hopped off her Kuranda bed to greet me at the front and began stretching her paws and kneading the air. We visited and snuggled, Rio leaving me with the distinct impression that she'd probably be happy to do that all day. Rio's chance will come and all he needs to do is be herself.
