Ralphie

My story

Please keep an eye on your spam folder. Emailed responses often end up in spam folders!  Ralphie is a little ball of love, curiosity, and courage! This sweet, adventurous kitten isn’t afraid to lead the way into new territory, making him the perfect combination of brave and playful. He absolutely loves chasing wand toys and has a particular talent for turning any playtime into a full-on performance—his moves are TikTok-worthy! Ralphie’s soft side shines through in his deep love for his sister, and we know he’d absolutely thrive in a home with animal companions. Whether it’s other cats, a gentle dog, or even his sister, Ralphie just loves having friends to play and snuggle with. He’s also a little social butterfly who enjoys being around his humans and will happily curl up for a nap when the action winds down. With his mix of bravery, sweetness, and a touch of showmanship, Ralphie is a kitten who will bring endless joy, laughter, and cuddles to his forever home. If you’re looking for a special little friend who’s full of personality and heart, Ralphie is waiting to meet you! Ralphie is too young to be eligible for a full adoption. However, he is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program!  Foster-to-Adopt Program Details We are an all-volunteer, foster-based, non-profit organization We don’t have a physical location; all cats and kittens live in foster homes until they are formally adopted. Our foster-to-adopt program allows us to match cats and kittens with their forever family before they’re eligible for adoption. Eligible cats and kittens are placed in a foster’s home with the intention of adoption after required medical care is completed. Foster-to-Adopt foster parents are required to schedule and bring their cats(s) and/or kitten(s) to veterinary appointments at the Animal Medical Center of Richardson as needed.  Foster-to-adopters must meet all of the eligibility requirements RHS has for adopters.  Cats and kittens eligible for our foster-to-adopt program must pay a $50 non-refundable deposit at time of drop-off that will be deducted from the animal’s adoption fee of $135.  Our Adoption Process: Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo an in person or virtual home visit from an RHS representative. Complete Application.  https://www.richardsonhumanesociety.org/adopt/ Phone Interview/Vet Check. Compatible applicants will be forwarded to a counselor who will contact the applicant for a phone interview. We also get a reference from your vet, if applicable. Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in. We will try to include the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment. Due to COVID, we may ask you to send a video of your yard and the pet's expected living space. Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at your home or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $135 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets. ##2397922##
