Affectionate, Lover boy, Professional Baker

Introducing Riceball! A delightful young orange tabby with a heart that glows as bright as his fur. This handsome boy is a loving companion with a unique personality.

Riceball is an affectionate cat, known for his expert biscuit-making skills and his tendency to become a velcro kitty with his favorite human. He loves nothing more than snuggling up close, purring contentedly, and maybe even drooling a little as he kneads his paws in pure bliss. Riceball literally lets his foster sleep with him under her arm like a stuffed animal! He's so sweet. He's also a talkative kitty, expressing himself with soft meows and loud purrs.

Once he feels comfortable, Riceball becomes a playful bundle of energy, particularly at night when he's most active. He enjoys running around and exploring his surroundings.

Riceball has made friends with his foster's two cats, and loves to snuggle up with them (see his photos!). We haven't seen him with dogs or kids, so a gradual introduction to new furry or human companions would be ideal.

This sweet boy is looking for a forever home with someone who understands his joy for love and attention. If you're searching for a cat who will be your best friend and snuggle buddy, Riceball could be the perfect match for you. Get ready for a little nighttime company and the occasional "hairdo" of biscuit-making in your hair!

Riceball takes an easy oral medicine to keep his bones healthy. You just sprinkle the powder on his food, he doesn't even know he's taking it! Got questions? Email us to talk about this little guy.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
