At 9 years old, Ricky is a distinguished senior gentleman looking for a soft place to land after experiencing a heartbreaking change in his life.

Ricky came to the SPCA of Brevard in early August after his owner sadly passed away. Understandably, this handsome brown tabby appreciates a little time and patience when getting to know someone new. But give Ricky the chance to feel safe and comfortable, and you’ll get to see the sweet, affectionate cat hiding beneath that cautious exterior.

Once Ricky knows you’re a friend, he loves curling up in your lap and keeping the conversation going with his adorably chatty personality. This Domestic Medium Hair gentleman is looking for someone who understands that some of the best relationships take a little time to build.

Ricky has already known the comfort of a home and the love of a person. Now, at 9 years old, we would love nothing more than to see him find that feeling again.

Could you be the patient, loving person Ricky has been waiting for?
