About Richie
*In foster care in Cabramatta, Sydney*
Every day's a happy day with Richie in your life!
A loving and confident boy who adores hands-on affection, this sweet ginger kitten is a true star who's made quite the impression in his foster home. Not only is he a champion smooch - snuggling down at your side, on your lap or on chest whenever he gets the chance - he's also a class clown who's sure to keep you laughing!
Richie's funniest quirks include his big-boy growl when carrying small balls and toy mice around, and his passion for playing fetch. But his sweet side is just as irresistible! He's got a massive purr, the softest paws, and the silkiest coat you've ever touched :)
He also likes the company of other energetic cats, and enjoys wrestling and chasing with the other young resident cat in his foster home. (He likes quieter cats too - especially ones with swishy tails - but so far that hasn't made him popular...)
This darling fellow can't wait to meet his perfect match! Could it be you?
Like all Maggie’s pets, Richie is microchipped, desexed, and vaccinated.

MY IDEAL HOME: ... will have plenty of toys for me to chase (I've got a wish list!), a few crinkly tunnels to race through, creamy treats galore and lots of cosy places to snooze. Cat towers are fun too, and I'm good at using scratching posts!
I love human company, so my ideal family will give me heaps of attention and let me hang out with you when you're watching TV, working on your laptop or just going about your day. I'm always interested in what you're up to! But I'm pretty independent at heart, so if you're away during the day that's totally fine - especially if there's another young cat for me to play with.
I'm also looking for an indoor-only home please, to keep my delicate pink features safe from the sun.
MY ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a gorgeous mix of speed demon and smoochy prince! If I'm not racing around creating adorable chaos, I'm probably snoozing on your lap.
I'm very good at entertaining myself, but it's always extra-fun when you throw my ball for me. I'll even bring it back to you and drop it at your feet for another round (or five!).
MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: I haven't met any children yet, but I think I'd do well with kind, gentle ones aged 6+ who'll play with me and let me sleep on the bed with them. I'm still learning how to keep my claws in when I get excited (or see a dangling drawstring/ponytail/whatever!), so younger children probably aren't suitable at this stage.
MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: The active younger cat in my foster home loves playing with me, and the feeling is mutual! I suspect I'm a bit too annoying for older or quieter cats, unless they're really easygoing.
Not sure about dogs, but if you've got a nice one, I'm open to giving it a try!

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
