Meet Ralphie!
Ralphie is a one-year-old orange and white sweetheart who came into our care after being rescued—along with two other cats—from an abandoned rental home in Marion, NC. He’s been safe with us while we foster him, but with our own two cats and two large dogs, our household is full, and we can’t give him the forever home he deserves. Ralphie is extremely lovey, adores being held, and will happily follow you around the house just to stay near. He’s playful too, especially when romping with his buddy Clyde, but his favorite role is being your constant companion. While Ralphie gets along well with dogs, he hasn’t been very friendly with our own cats, so we think he’d do best as a solo kitty or adopted with Clyde, whom he’s especially bonded to. Neutered two months ago and full of love, Ralphie is ready to find his forever family!

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
Ralphie loves the two cats he was rescued with but doesn't seem to like the cats that we already had. He would do best in a 1 pet family or a family that has dogs. I'm sure he could warm up to a feline companion however, since he is best friends with one of the cats he was brought in with!
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
He is such a sweetheart and loves to eat!
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Found Pet
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
He was rescued from an abandoned rental house along with 2 other cats. We have fostered him for about 3 months and even had him neutered. He is a great pet and we would keep him if we already didn't have 2 cats and 2 dogs before we saved them.
