In the shelter’s words

Hey there, I'm River! I might be a little shy at first, but once I get comfortable with you, I’m all about cuddles, naps, and playtime! When I first arrived at my foster home, I was a bit nervous and needed a little space to adjust. But within just 24 hours, I was already napping on my foster’s lap, so it didn’t take long for me to feel safe and loved. I’m a playful boy at heart, especially when it comes to my foster brother! We love running and jumping all around the house, chasing toys and each other. But when it’s time to relax, I’m just as content. You’ll often find me napping by the window, watching the world go by, or curled up on the couch for some cozy downtime. I have a pretty laid-back personality, but there’s one thing that really gets me excited... the sound of a can of cat food opening! I’m a very good eater, and not picky at all—I’ll finish my food (and sometimes my foster brother’s too, if he’s not looking!). My appetite might surprise you, but I promise I’m all about good meals and belly rubs. I’m a big sweetheart who would do best in a home with older children who understand that I need a little time to settle in. Once I’m comfortable, you’ll have a loyal and loving companion who’s always ready to give affection, play, and be your best buddy. I am all ready for my new home or will be soon! Once sterilized, I will have been seen by a veterinarian, had all shots I was able to get when I was sterilized or they checked my sterilization status and microchipped! All I need now is you! I am currently living in a foster home and am fully litter trained. Act 2 Rescue will even help you make sure I am able to integrate into your human and pet family with their behavioral coaching support during the transition period. I can't wait to meet you so please fill out an application for me today! _______________________________________________________________________
