Carson City's Catmandu introduces their Cats of the Week: Ricky and Reba
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sat, 04/27/2024 - 7:27am
Meet Ricky and Reba, a sweet bonded pair who are waiting for their forever home. Sometimes bad things happen to good cats. Nobody knows this better than Ricky and Reba. Approximately 3 years old, they were abandoned when their owner moved, leaving them to fend for themselves on the streets of Reno. It wasn’t easy.
They were indoor cats that had no clue how to survive on their own. For several months, they struggled to eat and stay alive. All they had were each other, and some dry food that a kind neighbor put out for them. Fortunately, the neighbor contacted a Catmandu volunteer who was able to trap and foster them while they recovered from their ordeal. It took many months for them to recover from the trauma and begin to trust people again.
Ricky is a very big and handsome short-haired black and white tuxedo. He is a sweet boy who likes attention, and once he gets to know someone, he enjoys being pet. With a little time to adjust to a new place and people, he is friendly, social and outgoing.
His beautiful friend Reba, a long-haired blue-eyed ragdoll Siamese, takes longer to trust. She buries herself in blankets to hide from the scary, scary world of a new situation. However, once you gain her trust she is a sweet girl that appreciates pets and ear scratches. Reba is very dependent on Ricky, relying on him for comfort and to check out new situations. She would be lost without him. Consequently, they must be adopted together.
Ricky and Reba get along fine with other cats, as long as the cats are nice to them. We do not know if they have ever been around dogs. They would do best in a quiet home with no small children and need to be indoor only cats. They are both fixed and up-to-date on their shots.
If you have room in your heart and home to welcome these two special kitties and show them that good things can happen to good cats, please complete a pre-adoption application on our website at CatmanduCC.org/adoptions and schedule a time to meet them this weekend at 1829 Brown Street. We are open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 5pm
