My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rico & Tate McRae – Your Dynamic Duo of Fun, Affection, and “Helping”

Meet Rico and Tate McRae, two outgoing, easygoing, high-energy kittens who are equal parts playful, affectionate, and hilariously “helpful.” If you’re looking for a bonded pair that can keep up with an active home—and keep you entertained all day long—these boys are your match.

These two are play experts who easily clock more than an hour of play a day. They love chasing and carrying springs around, and Rico is absolutely obsessed with his wiggle worm toy. Both boys enjoy batting toys around on their own, but they’ll also leap at the chance to play with other cats or join in on whatever game you’re starting.

When they’re not busy zooming, exploring, or “assisting” with your daily tasks, they’re seeking out affection. Rico is a face-licker and proud of it, while Tate is the lap-sitter of the pair, happiest curled up on you while purring away. They love following their humans from room to room just in case you need help—or supervision.

Despite their playful energy, they have great balance: they’ll take plenty of snoozy daytime naps and sleep in bed with you at night like the sweetest little companions.

Rico & Tate are:

  • Sociable and easygoing

  • Active, playful, and very toy-motivated

  • Affectionate and people-oriented

  • Intelligent and potentially easy to train

  • Great with cats, dogs, and considerate kids

  • Independent enough to entertain themselves, but always up for attention

If you want kittens who bring laughter, joy, and a whole lot of heart into your home—while also “helping” with all your projects—Rico and Tate McRae would love to join your family.

Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. 

This kitten is currently in a foster home. To meet this kitten, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
