Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Providence, Rhode Island

Meet Rick Devins & Christian

Part of our special "Survivor 50" group, Rick Devins and Christian have an incredible story of resilience. They came to us from a home with over 100 cats and have been slowly learning what it means to feel safe and cared for. Now, they're ready to begin their next chapter-together.

These two are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted into the same home. They lean on each other for comfort and confidence, often sticking close together as they navigate new experiences. While they've made wonderful progress since arriving, they're still shy with people and will need a patient, understanding family willing to let them settle in at their own pace.

Coming from a hoarding situation means the world can still feel a little overwhelming at times. A calm, quiet home with cat-savvy adopters will help them continue building trust and confidence. With time, routine, and gentle encouragement, Rick Devins and Christian have so much potential to grow into loving companions.

If you have room in your heart for two cats who just need a little extra patience and kindness, this sweet duo may be the perfect fit for your home.

Rick Devins and Christian are currently in a foster home. For more information or to set up a meet-and-greet, please email foster@parl.org and fill out an adopter profile on our website.
