Riviara had a wonderful decade with her family, but now she’s looking for a new home. Known as Ripley, she’s a quiet, easygoing companion—the kind of cat who won’t demand attention but will absolutely soak it up when offered. Whether it’s a cuddle, a brushing session, or just sitting nearby, she’s happy to share her calm, loving presence.
She’s also a sun-worshipper at heart, happiest when she can lounge in a screened-in porch or a sunny window, watching the world go by. As an indoor-only kitty, she’s content to stay cozy inside, enjoying life at a relaxed pace. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance friend to share your home, Ripley is more than ready to move in!
All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
Gentle, Graceful, Full of Love
