In the shelter’s words
Ryker will be at the Naperville Petsmart adoption event, Saturday October 24th 11-2. Ryker is a sweet, loving, and gentle cat who is looking for his forever home. We lovingly call him "Rookie" because he can be so funny and goofy sometimes. His silly personality is one of the many things that makes him so special. Ryker is very friendly although he can be a little shy around strangers at first. Once he feels comfortable he becomes a wonderful companion who loves attention and affection. He is very playful and especially enjoys being held and cuddled. He's also a good eater, and has an overall very calm and quiet personality. If you are looking for a loving, playful, cuddly, calm, and occasionally goofy companion, Ryker (aka Rookie) could be the perfect addition to your family. Ryker is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered , and litter box trained. Ryker's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Ryker, please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today! Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
