Meet Paprika (aka Riki Tiki or Rika)!
Paprika is a spirited 8-month-old kitten with a gorgeous dilute calico coat and a personality as bold as her Aries star sign. This playful and curious girl is an expert mouse toy hunter and will proudly deliver her “catches” to you for praise.
While she can be shy at first with new people, Paprika quickly blossoms with patience and the encouragement of a confident feline friend. She thrives in the company of other cats, especially ones who can match her high energy and help her feel at home. Her dominant personality means she loves being the center of attention—expect her to claim first dibs on chin rubs and snuggles.
Paprika’s favorite activities include chasing feather wand toys, batting around yarn balls, and pouncing on her stuffed mice. She’s also a true foodie at heart: the sound of a Churu treat being opened will have her sprinting to your side in seconds!
This sweet girl’s journey began in a South Philly alleyway, where she was found alongside her mom and brothers. Paprika was the first to walk into the humane trap, leaving her street life behind for the comforts of soft blankets and loving care. Now, she’s ready to find her forever home—a place where she can share her zest for life with another confident and playful feline companion.
Are you ready to welcome this pint-sized dynamo into your heart and home? Paprika promises endless love, laughs, and purrs!
