WHISKERS OF THE WEEK

Week of August 28, 2022 - Ricky

Ricky is a debonair tuxedo lap cat, around 2 years old. He arrived at SCAC on July 11 via owner surrender through no fault of his own. He was previously an outdoor cat, but he is fully litter box trained and is ready to make the move to a much safer life indoors at his forever home. Ricky's previous owner stated that he does not get along with other cats, but here at the shelter he has been nonreactive to other cats - so it's possible that he might do okay with a feline sibling if the introductions are handled patiently and properly. Ricky is friendly, affectionate, curious, and playful - and he has been certified by our Lap Cat Specialist!

Ricky will go to his forever home neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated appropriate to age. He is negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). Come in soon to meet this special guy. Ricky is waiting for you at Sangamon County Animal Control in Springfield, IL.
