My story

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

Rico is a one-year-old ball of energy and affection who loves to be the center of attention! This sweet boy is as playful as they come-whether it's chasing toys or engaging in a little conversation, Rico is always up for fun. He's also a big fan of cuddles and will happily knead your lap as he purrs contentedly, making it clear he's your devoted companion.

Though Rico thrives on human companionship and attention, he's not a fan of other cats, so he'd do best as the only feline in the household. He can also be a bit overstimulated at times, so he'd be happiest in a home without young children. Rico's talkative nature means he'll keep you company with his adorable meows, and his playful antics are sure to bring a smile to your face.

If you're looking for a loving, engaging, and playful companion who craves affection, Rico might just be the perfect fit for your home!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.

Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
