My story

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

Friendly, Affectionate, Adorable

Although some cats tend to keep to themselves, the same cannot be said for Rio! This little lovebug will ask for love and affection, head-butting you and performing figure-eights. She is quick to warm up to new people, and likes to have a chirpy conversation now and then.

Rio is an adorable sweetheart who loves to spend time with her human companions, as she can often be found following you around the house wherever you go! Curling up at the end of your bed for nighttime, being with you truly has a special place in this little one’s heart!

Rio will play with bits and bobs that she finds around the house, rather than cat toys! She has a creative spirit. She will also practice her kitty yoga by rolling around in a blanket and on the floor!

When it comes to her ideal home, Rio would thrive in an environment with people who are down for lots of kitty snuggle time and will share her affection! She loves her cuddles and moderate playtime throughout the day.

If your ideal downtime includes curling up on the couch with a little lovebug glued to your side, Rio might be your purr-fect match. Contact us today to meet this beautiful and loving gray and white tuxedo kitty with a rather silly mustache!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

For further information or to meet Rio, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
