My story

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

Meet Ricky, a handsome black kitty with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. Born in June 2025, Ricky is a young cat who blossoms with love, attention, and a little patience. He may be shy at first, but once he feels safe, his affectionate, sweet nature shines through—rewarding his people with cuddles, purrs, and quiet devotion.

Ricky adores playtime and especially loves wrestling and chasing toys with his sister, Lucy. The two share a beautiful bond and are happiest together, filling a home with double the fun, comfort, and companionship. Whether they’re playing or snuggled up side by side, Ricky and Lucy bring warmth and joy wherever they go.

If you’re looking to add not just a pet, but a loving connection to your life, Ricky is ready to meet you. Open your heart and home to this charming boy—and maybe his sister too—and discover how special life can be with Ricky by your side.

Ricky is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. If you’re interested in adopting Ricky, visit www.aarfatlanta.org to fill out an application!

Additional adoption info

All AARF cats have all received their shots, have been FIV/FeLV tested, are on flea and tick preventative and have been microchipped and spayed/neutered. All AARF kitties are fostered in responsible foster homes, where they receive love, attention and socialization. We have a group of fantastic fosters who help us to create an adoptable and healthy companion for your home.

We don't "sell" cats here at AARF. But we do ask for a minimum adoption donation to help us cover the cost of all of the vet care the cats have received. Effective, January 1, 2007, our adoption donation is $85 for cats. All adoption donations are tax-deductible, and help AARF continue our rescue and adoption program.

Go meet their pets

Meeting our pets is by appointment only! We have a limited staff on regular days and many of our pets are in foster homes, so an appointment is necessary to ensure the you get adequate time with your potential new pet and to ensure pets in foster homes are able to be seen.
