My story

Hi there! Iandamp;#39;m Ricky! andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a very special kitty. You see&#44 I have diabetes. It is very well-controlled with easy daily insulin and special food&#44 but I wanted to make sure you knew about that ahead of time. The team here can explain what is involved and give you more information.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am such a lovely cat. Iandamp;#39;m a little shy at the shelter where itandamp;#39;s noisy and scary&#44 but I spent a week in a quiet foster home and I was very outgoing and not afraid at all. I am super affectionate and love to be petted and combed. My hair is very long and silky so daily combing helps to keep it looking nice. I have a very loud purr motor.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m not the kind of cat that likes to climb and jump a lot. The diabetes has given me some very slight nerve damage in my back legs so Iandamp;#39;m not very athletic&#44 but itandamp;#39;s not painful at all. When Iandamp;#39;m not snuggling with you I like to sleep the day away in a soft hidey low to the ground.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;You might wonder about my left ear. Itandamp;#39;s a little crinkly--probably from an old injury. It gives me character.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m really ready to find my forever home with someone who wants a loving cat and is comfortable with managing my diabetes. Could that be you?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love&#44 andlt;br/andgt;Ricky

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Ricky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
