My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

1

Sweet, gentle Risotto is a gorgeous girl looking for the perfect home! Found behind an Italian restaurant with several other cats, Risotto is shy and needs a patient, experienced cat owner to help bring her out of her shell. This good-natured, goofy girl is making progress every day, but she still needs patience to become the carefree, roly-poly cat we know she can be!

Risotto absolutely loves to play. Wand toys are her favorite and she loves to roll around on the floor, dart after them and show her goofy side (and her wonderfully fluffy belly) while playing with them.

We also suspect she’s quite a mush. While she’s still nervous around people, she’s started making biscuits like it’s her job whenever her foster mom enters the room. And, while she is sometimes a bit nervous about being petted, an extendible backscratcher makes her purr like a motorboat as she leans into it for chin scratches and uses her paws to direct it to where she’d like to be "petted" next.

This girl's shy demeanor, chonky physique, incredible fur patterns, round face and slightly walleyed expressions will work their way into your heart incredibly quick. She enjoys the company of older cats with a proper introduction, or she can be adopted solo. More than anything, Risotto needs a loving, consistent home and a patient adopter able to put some work into bringing her out of her little shell.

Adorable Risotto was rescued behind a restaurant in Bed Stuy with many other kitties who were used to being fed by the kind women who do the cooking. She is so happy to be out of the cold and she's just waiting to find a loving home.

Risotto is about 2 years old. She is spayed, tested fiv-/felv-, is up to date on her vaccines, treated for parasites and ready for a wonderful furrever home.

Thank you for considering a rescued angel! Every dime goes to save another homeless kitty on the street.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters first fill out an adoption application, after which they can visit our animals in their foster homes. If they would like to adopt and their application is approved, they then complete an adoption contract. We also ask for an adoption fee to help us continue our work.
