More About RIPLEY

THIS POOR KITTY HAS BEEN LIVING IN A CARRIER FOR 5 YEARS

"Ripley" believe it or not has been living in a small cat carrier for the last 5 years of his life! Not a cage but a carrier, something that you use to transport cats back and forth to the vet. This poor boy was never let out of the carrier. Food was dropped in the front of it and if he was lucky he got some water to wash it down. "Ripley" was living in a warehouse but then the warehouse closed down and the warehouse worker took him home. They guy tried finding shelters that could take him in but they all said it was almost certain "Ripley" would have been euthanized. The guy that cared for him and left him in the carrier thought in his own mind that living the last 5 years in the carrier was more humane than euthanizing him. I'll never quite figure out why the man didn't let him at least have full run of a bathroom at least but I guess I'll never know. The woman, Mary that is friends with the guy, begged and pleaded for him to let the kitty go. Once he agreed, Mary contacted SWRO for help. She said she has called so many places but no one has offered to help poor "Ripley". How could anyone turn away this sweet boy is beyond me.

"Ripley" is an incredible cat. He is so gentle and sweet. You would never believe that he went through what he went through because he is just a darling. He hasn't quite figured out what to do with the toys I gave him but that is just a matter of time. He will be showered with love and attention while he is in foster care with a SWRO volunteer and I can guarantee once he is aclimated to a large area than a cage he will have full run of whatever room he choses. This poor baby is looking for a forever home, someone that will give him all the love and attention he deserves. If you are interested in adopting him, please fill out the adoption application today!
