Meet Rip!
Born September, 2025
Rip is a tender, independent boy who starts off shy but warms up beautifully with patience and a gentle approach. He’s curious and observant, preferring to take his time getting to know new people and environments. Respectful of personal space, Rip appreciates a calm atmosphere where he can explore at his own pace. He was treated for eye infections and it cleared up but left some scarring. It doesn’t seem to affect him at all. Though easily startled and a bit nervous at first, he is wonderfully gentle and mellow once he feels secure. He’s also easy to handle for nail trims and has a sweet, soft presence that makes him incredibly endearing.
When Rip opens up, his playful and energetic side shines through. He loves cat dancer toys, crinkle balls, and anything that lets him dart, pounce, and stay active. Food is a great motivator for him, and he’ll happily perk up for treats or mealtime. Despite his independent streak, Rip becomes a loving lap cat who enjoys quiet cuddle time once he builds trust. With his mix of sweetness, curiosity, and gentle affection, Rip is a wonderful match for someone who appreciates a mellow, sensitive kitty who blooms into a loyal companion.
