River

Meet River! 🌊🐾 River is a handsome 3-year-old gentleman with striking green eyes and a quiet charm that shines once you get to know him. At first, he may seem reserved, but don't be fooled -- underneath that cautious exterior is a playful and affectionate cat just waiting for the right person to earn his trust.<br/><br/>River's favorite activities include batting at wand toys, cozying up for long naps, and leaning into cheek scratches once he feels comfortable. He especially enjoys tunnels (where he can combine playtime with hide-and-seek flair) and will happily show off his silly side when he feels safe. He has recently been learning that cheek scratches are the bees knees and has been meeting other cats in his foster home. He enjoys having the lady kitties around but would prefer to be your only male cat.<br/><br/>Because River warms up slowly, he would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can take his time adjusting. Once he feels secure, you'll be rewarded with a sweet, mellow companion who shows his affection in the most endearing ways.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal friend who will blossom with love and patience, River is ready to flow right into your heart. 💙<br/><br/>Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus that cannot be passed onto dogs or humans. FIV is spread through deep bite wounds, typically seen on outdoor male cats who have not been neutered. It's rarely spread through grooming, sharing bowls, or litter boxes. FIV affects a cat's immune system, but most cats live long lives when they live indoors, receive routine veterinary care, have a stress-free home, and a good diet. To learn more about FIV, please visit the link below. <br/><br/>https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv/<br/><br/>______________________________<br/><br/>Please complete an adoption application if you are interested in adopting from Ten Lives! Apply here: https://tenlivescatrescue.org/adoptionapp/<br/><br/>Please Note:<br/><br/>If the cat or kitten is no longer listed in the drop-down menu of the application then they are no longer available for adoption and we are not accepting applications. Due to limited volunteer power, applications submitted for cats or kittens no longer available will not be reviewed. <br/><br/>About Ten Lives:<br/><br/>Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered. We do not have a facility or shelter with regular visiting hours. Out of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application before scheduling a meet and greet with a foster cat. <br/><br/>Our goal is to place cats in their best-matched homes and facilitate lifelong adoptions. We do not review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. We believe that veterinary care is an important part of cat guardianship. As such, a veterinary check is part of our adoption process. Our goal is to contact applicants within 96 business hours of receiving their application. During kitten season, wait times may be longer due to the influx of applications. We are all volunteers and kindly ask for your patience! <br/><br/>All Ten Lives cats are spayed or neutered, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLv and parasites, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped. These services are inclusive of the adoption fee.
