Rita

  Meet Rita  Rita’s story began on one of the coldest days of the winter. During a snowstorm, a local car repair shop owner was closing up early when he heard a faint cry. Outside, he discovered a small cat encased in ice, desperately trying to survive the freezing temperatures. When Rita arrived at the shelter, staff weren’t sure they would be able to warm her up fast enough to save her—but this brave girl had other plans. Rita pulled through like a champion and has been melting hearts ever since.   Now that she’s safe and warm, Rita has shown everyone what a loving, affectionate sweetheart she truly is. She absolutely adores people and is happy to be picked up and carried around like the little queen she is. One of her favorite places to be is tucked into your neck, gently sniffing your ear and soaking up all the cuddles. If you’re looking for a snuggly companion, Rita is ready for the job.   Rita is also quite the conversationalist. She’ll happily chat with you about her day and reward you with lots of purrs and sweet little meows. Her affectionate personality makes her a joy to be around.   She gets along well with other cats. There is a potential that she will be okay with calm dogs but always important to do slow introduction. Mostly, Rita is just looking for a home where she can stay warm, safe, and loved forever.   After everything she’s been through, Rita truly deserves a family who will cherish her. If you’re ready for a snuggly, chatty, ice-queen-turned-lovebug, Rita might be the perfect addition to your home.  Rita   is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed , and litter box trained. Rita 's adoption fee is $135.  If you are interested in meeting  Rita , please fill out our Online Application today!   Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
