Rico's Story

Meet handsome Rico, our blue eyed orange/white beauty! He is around two years old. He lived with cats and young children in his previous home and reportedly did well with them! He's still adjusting the shelter life, and has been a bit reserved with us, but will surely blossom into his true self once he goes to a loving place. In his previous home he was described as friendly to family members and strangers alike. Give Rico a shot to show you his true self, and you won't regret bringing him home!

Our adoption hours are Tuesdays and Saturdays from 12-5pm, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 12-7pm. No appointment is necessary! We also have adoptable cats at the South Philly PetSmart (2360 W Oregon Ave.) Please check our adoption hours using the link; https://calendly.com/marfosters/petsmart-oregon-avenue-adoption-hours If you have any questions, email us at adopt@morrisanimalrefuge.org.
