Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet Rigatoni, the smallest bundle of spunk and laughter you’ll ever meet! This little bundle of energy is a comedy show on four paws, always ready to pounce on your feet (especially when you’re lying down and least expect it). His charm knows no bounds!
Rigatoni’s favorite activities include leaping like a ninja, batting at toys, and giving you that “ready-to-pounce” look just before he goes for the ultimate foot ambush. Pick him up, and he thinks it’s game time! He’ll wiggle with excitement, convinced that every cuddle is an invitation to play. But when night falls, this feisty kitten transforms into the ultimate snuggle buddy. He’ll burrow under your blankets and curl up close, turning you into his personal heating pad. If you’re ready for endless laughter, warm snuggles, and a kitten who thinks he’s king of the jungle, Rigatoni is your guy!
If you are interested in adopting Rigatoni, please send an email to jg927@cairn.edu to arrange a virtual meet and greet with Rigatoni’s foster parent. You should receive a reply within 24-48 hours.
