Introducing… Ripley! Ripley was trapped last March, along with other friends from her colony, as part of a mass TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) effort. These cats had been lovingly fed and cared for by a kind man, but as soon as their foster mom met them, she knew they were far too sweet to be returned to outdoor life—so Ripley officially became a Trash Cat!
Ripley was the first of her crew to embrace indoor life and has been a big help to her foster sister Gem, who’s a bit more nervous. These two can often be found cuddling or playing together throughout the day. Ripley will take a while to acclimate to a new home, and she still isn’t so sure about human interaction yet, but she’s always very curious! When she is in a small space, she is easy to handle and really enjoys gentle pets. But, when she is allowed to roam in larger spaces, her instinct is to watch her humans from a distance and hide until she feels comfortable. We believe that with some patience this little girl can really blossom, but it will take a special adopter who can give her the time and patience to thrive.
We believe Ripley could do well around respectful dogs, patient children, or other cats, but ideally she would love most to be adopted with her shy bestie, Gem, who might still be a little bit fearful of both. Older children who understand and respect Gem’s boundaries would be a great fit. We think they’re quite the duo—and we bet you will too!
Ripley is estimated to be about two years old. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea-treated, vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested FIV/FeLV negative. Please apply to adopt Ripley (and Gem?) today!

Additional adoption info
We try to do our best to make sure we find good fitting, responsible homes, without wasting a lot of our time. Our app has a lot of screening questions which help eliminate potential adopters who might not be serious (they usually just don't return the app), or not a good fit, which is why the in depth interview happens once the app is returned.

We are a small but dedicated 501c3 nonprofit cat rescue specializing in making one person's garbage kitten another person's forever cat.
Our mission is to reduce feline suffering and overpopulation using a combination of TNR and adoptions. We foster and socialize whenever we have the resources to do so, including behavioral cats and kittens who might otherwise just be candidates for TNR.
