Please check here for updated adoption hours.I will need appropriate toys and positive outlets for my energy.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I am looking for a home with a patient person.I am finding the shelter a little overwhelming, but when it's just you and me and some peace and quiet you'll see what a love bug I am.Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!What my friends at ACC say about me:Riff tolerates attention and petting but may be anxious or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home, familiar (or well counseled) in overstimulation and feline body language.A volunteer writes: Riff loves to laugh at his own jokes! He really is hilarious, so we're laughing right along with him. When I met Riff he was sitting like a little turkey with his leg over his arm. While he looked like he was about to begin a bath, he was calmly gazing out and checking on his neighbors. Or maybe he had paused because he saw a pipe cleaner feather in my hand. I offered it to him and we played for just a moment before he lowered his little leg and settled into a side loaf for some neck scritches. Riff sometimes likes to take a moment to gather his thoughts when he meets new people but he's affectionate, playful, and fun. He was brought to us because his person was moving, but even with so many big changes he has kept his sense of humor and bright curiosity. Ruff loves to play and be silly, so he's worth getting to know. He's hoping to meet his forever family soon at the Manhattan Care Center!
