FERAL NO MORE! Rickey Went From Hissing To A Love Muffin In 24 Hours!😻


It is hard to believe a turnaround like this is even possible!

Rickey was hissing and growling just 24 hours ago and is now a straight-up love muffin who likes belly rubs and baby talk!

Here is a video of him we took just this morning...

What a SWEET boy!

He's going to be ready for his forever home sooner than we expected!

FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Ricky The Fuzzy Tuxedo Boy! (#672)

Lookit that nose!!!!!

Wow! It is extremely rare to see a kitten this young this late in the season.

Cats – and all other outdoor animals up north – usually shut down the mating process during winter as babies cannot survive such harsh conditions.

Well, This little man's mom didn't get the memo.

Ricky is only 10 weeks old and is what we call "a feral without a clue."

He was taught by his mama, who was rescued with him, to hiss at anything that moves.

The thing is, he wants nothing more than to be pet and have his belly rubbed!!!

So when you walk over to his cage, he looks like a fierce beast, but the second you stick your hand in the cage, he literally flops on his back and demands belly rubs.

It's hysterical.

Our job now is to socialize the little man so he loses the hiss, put a little weight on him, and spoil him rotten!

We will post a video of his antics in a day or two so keep a lookout!
