In the shelter’s words
* In Foster Care * Meet & Greets by appointment. * Please submit an application online and well call to schedule! * Ralphie has quite the rescue story, and an even better personality! This handsome young boy was discovered in the Ralphs parking lot in Manhattan Beach during one of our October heat waves. The pavement was so hot that some of his little toe beans had suffered burns. Thankfully, a kindhearted stranger recognized he needed help, brought him somewhere safe, and began searching for someone who could give him a fresh start. That's how Ralphie found his way to Peter Zippi, and yes, that's how he got his name! Despite his rocky start, Ralphie is a remarkably confident and easygoing fellow. He settles into new surroundings with ease and seems to approach life with a healthy dose of calm curiosity and enthusiasm. In fact, Ralphie was ready to introduce himself to the resident cats in his foster home almost immediately! His foster family took things a little more slowly, and now he's beginning to enjoy playtime with their youngest cat. With his friendly nature and easygoing personality, we suspect Ralphie may have known the comforts of a loving home before his parking lot adventure. Now he's ready for a permanent home of his own, where he can continue making friends, exploring his surroundings, and enjoying the good life. Could Ralphie be your new best friend?
