Zoodle Now Ripley

Ripple lives in foster care, where his personality and routine are well understood.

Meet Zoodle (Ripley) – Confident, Clever, and Full of Spark

Zoodle is a bright, confident young cat who has returned to SAFE through no fault of his own. His enthusiasm for life was simply a bit much for the much older cat in his previous home, so he’s now looking for a new family where his playful energy can truly be appreciated.

This lively boy loves to stay busy. He’ll happily play fetch, chase flies, and wrestle with his much-loved toy, Penelop the Pig. When playtime winds down, Zoodle enjoys settling in to watch TV, with a particular interest in tennis. He’s a big Alex de Minaur fan and was clearly unimpressed when a recent match didn’t go his way.

While Zoodle is independent and confident, he also has a very affectionate side. He loves lounging on the couch with his people and often keeps one paw gently resting on them, just to stay connected. He’s used to having the run of the house and access to a large patio, and he’s currently learning to use a harness for supervised outdoor adventures.

Zoodle would suit a home with another young, confident cat who enjoys interactive play, or a household where he can be the main feline focus. He has met dogs and, after a brief look of curiosity, was quite happy to ignore them. He’s reliable with his litter tray and enjoys meals of Hills Science and Royal Canin, both wet and dry, with the occasional fresh chicken or mince treat.

Zoodle is currently in foster care with a loving family, which means we know his personality, routines, and needs well. He can be met easily by sending in an adoption application, and we can arrange a meet and greet to see if he’s the right fit for your home. We don’t have a shelter you can visit, but our foster-based model allows us to truly understand each cat and support the best possible match.
