RIPLEY - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Ames, Iowa

Hi there, I’m Ripley, the only boy in my litter of five kittens (and definitely the fluffiest!) I’m a laid-back and relaxed little guy who enjoys lounging around and taking life easy. Don’t let that fool you though, I still have a playful and mischievous side. I love sneaking up on my siblings and chasing people around when I’m feeling playful. I’m very food motivated and do great with nail trims when wet treats are involved. I use my litterbox well, get along wonderfully with other cats, and enjoy both playtime and quiet cuddle sessions. I haven’t met dogs yet, but since I’m young and quite chill, I may do well with them after proper introduction. I am also quite clumsy, so don’t be surprised if I embarrass myself when I jump around. I would be wonderful for a first time cat owner!
