Meet some of the animals at the RISPCA who need loving homes before Christmas! Learn more at www.rispca.org
STRAY #1: MAZEY
The RISPCA says, “Mazey is a super fun cat who plays hard and loves every minute of it! Her absolute favorite toy is the Cat Dancer. She will chase, jump, and parkour while in pursuit of it…but really, if it’s any wand toy, she will be up for the chase. She can be a little people-selective, but when she chooses you, you have got a buddy. Mazey is looking for a cat-savvy home with no children or other pets…somewhere she can settle in with her person and get the daily playtime that every cat needs. When she doesn’t get that energy out, she may try to play with your legs…so wand toys are definitely the way to go for her. If you’re looking for a spirited, engaging cat who will keep you entertained and reward you with a strong bond, Mazey could be your girl.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #2: JUNIPER
The RISPCA says, “Juniper is a sweet, playful girl. She could spend hours running around and sniffing everything and anything! You’ll find that this spunky pup loves treats and is sure to tell you all about it in true hound fashion. That nose could sniff out cookies from a mile away! Juniper has lived successfully with another dog in the past, so she may do well with another dog of similar size and energy as her in her new home as well. If you’re looking for a true loyal companion who would be a fantastic hiking companion, Juniper is your girl!” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #3: AMORA
The RISPCA says, “Amora is the most beautiful hippo in the whole world! She can be a little nervous, so sometimes just relaxing on a couch or hanging out in the yard is her preferred pastime. Every once in a while, though, she will get the hippo zooms, which is pretty much just a happy little march! Amora is super smart and loves to learn new things. When she masters a trick, her smile could light up the night! Those interested in Amora are encouraged to reach out to learn more about what makes this girl so special!” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #4: COOKIE
The RISPCA says, “This adorable Abyssinian gentleman has the most gorgeous chocolate-colored coat, hence his sweet name! Cookie is a young boy with a big personality, adorable whorls of fur, and a curiosity that makes him a joy to watch. Cookie experienced some scary moments around dogs, so he’s looking for a calm, dog-free home where he can feel safe and loved. Once he knows he’s in a secure environment, Cookie warms up beautifully. He enjoys gentle interactions, tasty veggie snacks, and cozy hideaways where he can relax. He loves fun enrichment opportunities, soft bedding, and tasty veggies. He will require a guinea pig friend as he is very social. Cookie has so much love and charm to offer. If you’re ready to give this chocolate-colored sweetheart his happy new beginning, Cookie can’t wait to meet you!” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #5: SUGAR
The RISPCA says, “Sugar came to us when her owner had to move and couldn’t take her along. She arrived unspayed, looking a little scrappy, and had a tough time settling in. But with patience and predictability, she has really come around, and we are learning more about who she is. Despite her name, Sugar definitely has some spice! She enjoys a few head scratches, but she will let you know when she has had enough. Sugar does set boundaries, and the key will be learning and respecting them. Once you learn her style, she is a fun little companion. Sugar has made it clear that she is not a fan of other cats, so she should be the one and only pet. Small children will probably also be too much for her.
It seems that Sugar finds some bigger wand toys a little scary, but she does enjoy batting around the Cat Dancer and noodle wands, also solo toys.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #6: SHADOW
The RISPCA says, “Shadow is a smart, inquisitive, sweetheart with the softest fur! Shadow is just a young gal who turned a year old. She loves to play with both dogs and her human friends. While we may be bundling up with the colder weather these days, Shadow is excited for the snow and would love to play in the future snow with a new best friend. Shadow is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines; all she is missing is a place to call home!” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #7: BRUIN
The RISPCA says, “Bruin is a handsome, older brindle boy with the kind of calm, soulful presence that immediately puts you at ease. This large mixed-breed gentleman may have a few years under his belt, but his sweet and gentle nature makes him truly timeless. Quiet and reserved, Bruin prefers peaceful moments over busy crowds. He’s the kind of companion who will happily curl up nearby while you read or relax, content just to be near someone who cares. Bruin walks beautifully on leash and enjoys slow strolls where he can take in the world at his own pace. He’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and appreciated for the wonderful dog he is. Bruin doesn’t ask for much just a soft place to rest, kind hands to scratch behind his ears, and a heart to call his own.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #8: SPIKE
The RISPCA says, “Hey Spike, what do you like? Turns out, she loves cheek and chin rubs, head scratches, and head bumps. Spike is a senior girl with a lot of love to give. She likes exploring her space, but also likes having her human around. Strange as it sounds, her previous caretaker also told us she likes listening to Rod Stewart…though it was Tom Petty who wrote a song about Spike. Spike came to us when her caretaker was moving and could not take Spike. It took her some time to settle in, but once she felt safe, she started showing her affectionate side and curious personality. Spike qualifies for our Senior for Seniors Program! If you are 65+ and adopt a cat 10+, the adoption fee is waived along with some other incredible perks!” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #9: BINNY
The RISPCA says, “Meet Binny, our gentle giant! Think Fezzik from “The Princess Bride” or the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) from Roald Dahl’s beloved story. That’s Binny, a very large rabbit with an even bigger heart…it’s just hidden behind a little wall of shyness. Binny may tower over the other bunnies in size, but he’s pure softness inside and out. He’s the kind of bunny who tiptoes (as much as a bunny can) through life, preferring quiet corners, gentle voices, and patient hearts. Loud noises and sudden movements can send him hopping for cover, but give him time, and you’ll see the sweetest soul begin to shine through. He’s not one for the spotlight, but he is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can blossom at his own pace. If you believe in the magic of gentle giants and have the kindness to match, Binny might just be your fairytale ending. He’d be the perfect fit for any family.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #10: Leo
The RISPCA says, “Leo is a handsome American guinea pig with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This charming guy is full of confidence as he’s social and curious, especially when it comes to other guinea pigs. Leo enjoys having piggy friends, but he definitely likes to make sure everyone knows he’s the boss. With people, Leo is still a bit skittish, but he’s making great progress! He’s learning to enjoy lap time, gentle pets, and one-on-one socialization, and he’s showing more trust every day. Leo would thrive in a home that understands guinea pig dynamics and can give him the time and patience he needs to continue building his confidence. He will require a less dominant friend to bond with. As Leo struts around his enclosure or munches on his favorite snacks, Leo is sure to make you smile with his spirited and charming nature. If you’re looking for a confident little piggy with a big personality, Leo might be your perfect match! With questions about him, or any of our other small animals available for adoption, e-mail Smallies@rispca.org.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #11: CAILY
The RISPCA says, “Caily is a sweet girl who could walk for miles with her favorite people. She is a strong girl who doesn’t know her own strength, so a home with teens + would be the best fit for her. Caily loves snacks and is quick to sit for a nice reward. It is unknown if Caily would do well with other animals in the home, but we do believe she would thrive as an only pet.” Adopt or Share today!
STRAY #12: KITTY
The RISPCA says, “Kitty is a 3 1/2 year old beauty who came to us after struggling in her previous home with behaviors her family just couldn’t pinpoint. Once she arrived here, we discovered she had crystals in her urine, which can definitely make any cat feel uncomfortable. Now that she is on a urinary diet and feeling much better, her true personality has been shining through. Kitty is a sweet girl who enjoys quiet companionship and playtime with her favorite wand toys. She isn’t a fan of other cats and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Because she thrives in a calm, predictable environment, an adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace and feel safe would be best.” Adopt or Share today!
