Richardsons Rescue

501(c)3 cat rescue organization dedicated to rehoming cats through our in-home foster care program. We are not a drop off shelter. It takes a village . . .

We're an active TNR group involved in community outreach, too. Any intake requests must be made through our website. Our volunteers reach out to members of the community in need of help with stray and/or feral cat overpopulation due to abandonment and neglect. We participate in Trap, Neuter, Return and pull as many cats or kittens we can with a good demeanor to rehome. It takes a village because without the help of the veterinarians and clinics, donations from the public, dedicated foster volunteers, and a caring community willing to adopt, we wouldn't be able to save so many lives. Thank you for doing your part.

Now that Flerken and Ivy have finally found their forever homes, Spencer is officially our resident longest-waiting kitty. And we need YOUR help to change that. ❤️

Meet Spencer. 🥺

**240 DAYS.**

240 days of waiting. 240 days of watching other cats leave for their happily ever afters while he stays behind. 240 days of hoping that maybe today will finally be his day.

So why is Spencer still waiting?

Well, he's a little different. Not in a bad way. He's just wonderfully, uniquely Spencer.

He's a little bit like Dory from Finding Nemo. 😂 He has that adorable deer-in-the-headlights look, like he's still trying to figure out what in the world is going on around him. He's a little unsure of life, and sometimes he needs a minute to remember that you're his friend and everything is okay.

But once he knows you? Oh, does he have love to give! Suddenly, you're his favorite person, and he'd very much like ALL the attention, please!

He's a little quirky, a little silly, and maybe just a tiny bit of an oddball. But those are the things that make him special. He loves being near his people, settling in beside you and soaking up all the affection he's comfortable with. He's not a fan of being picked up, but he doesn't need to be carried around to show you how much he loves you.

He's good with cats and dogs and could share his home with other furry friends or he'd be happy as your one and only.

We know Spencer might not be the kitten everyone immediately gravitates toward. He's not the boldest or most outgoing. He might not be the first to run up and demand attention. But **he deserves to be someone's first choice, too.**

Somewhere out there is a person who will understand his little quirks, laugh at his silly Dory moments, appreciate his gentle companionship, and love him exactly as he is.

We wish we could explain to Spencer why he's still here. Why so many friends have come and gone while he's continued to wait. Why nobody has picked him yet.

But with your help we can do something better.

We can find him a family!

**240 days is enough.** This boy has so much love tucked inside that quirky little heart of his. He deserves a couch to call his own, a person to follow around, and a family who never makes him wonder when his turn will come.

Please help us! Every like, every little red heart, every comment and especially every share will help us make Spencer's next goodbye the one where he finally gets to go HOME to the family he deserves!

Hmmm 🤔

I’ll bet you’ve never considered kittens losing their baby teeth.

I wonder which one of my fosters is getting a visit from the Tooth Fairy tonight 🤭

Update: we still have had zero interest in these two perfect love bugs! share share share so we can find them a home. Like the post and comment to boost how many people see this post! We know their family is out there they just haven't seen the post yet!

💕 **Meet Kenny & Dolly!** 💕

Some love stories are just meant to stay together, and Kenny and Dolly are one of them! ❤️

This incredibly sweet, bonded pair is everything you could ever want in two kitties. They are loving, playful, affectionate little purr machines who are happiest when they're together.

They have so much love to give and so much joy to bring to a home. Great with kids and other cats, they really are the whole package!

We aren't looking for two separate homes for these two. We're looking for ONE family with TWO open spots in their hearts. 🥹

Kenny and Dolly have found their person in each other. Now they just need someone to love them both forever. Share their story to help them find their forever home!

**Could you be the happily ever after they've been waiting for?** 💕

Update: adopted!

Meet Alfonzo!

This handsome boy might seem a little aloof at first, but give him a moment in your arms and watch his whole world change. He melts right into you, turns on that purr motor, and reminds you just how much love he has to give.

Alfonso was originally fostered by a team of high school veterinary students, so this boy has experienced the hustle and bustle of a high school and handled it like a champ!

But you know what he would really love? A family. His very own family. A cozy home, a safe place to land, and people who will hold him close and remind him every day that he's finally home.

Share his bio to help us help him find his forever family!

Let's keep the orange kitten love going! 🧡

Meet Timothy (orange) and Little Grey (gray)! These two are just as perfect as they come!

This brother and sister duo are the BEST of both worlds. Sweet, cuddly little lovebugs who also have plenty of playful kitten energy to keep you smiling!

They are as sweet as pie and would absolutely love to find a forever home together. But if you already have kitty friends at home, they could be adopted separately, too!

Two precious little hearts just waiting for someone to fall in love with them. Could that someone be you? 🧡🐾

Update: adopted!

Calling everyone who needs a professional cuddler! ❤️🐾

Meet Jason, the absolute sweetheart! This boy is PURRRfect in every way!

At just 3 months old, Jason has already mastered the art of loving. He adores everyone he meets and believes there is no such thing as too many snuggles, too many kisses, or too much attention.

His favorite place in the whole world? Right in your arms, being held, loved on, and swooned over. 🥹

If you've been missing a little extra love in your life, Jason is ready to fill that spot. All he needs is someone to call his own and a lifetime of cuddles to give.

Who needs a little Jason love in their life? ❤️

Wow!! Y'all rock! Thank you for sharing her story Ivy has found her forever family!!!

💔 223 DAYS. EVERYONE IN HER FAMILY HAS BEEN CHOSEN. EXCEPT IVY. 💔

Please, please don't scroll past her. Share, share share! We have to get this girl home.

Remember Ivy? We've told you about her before. She and her sister waited together for a family to find them. And then her sister got adopted.

Ivy didn't.

We thought we had a home lined up for her, and we were so excited that her turn had finally come. But through absolutely no fault of her own, it fell through.

And now, at just 6 months old, Ivy is the LAST ONE IN HER ENTIRE FAMILY STILL WAITING.

223 days since rescue. No family of her own. No forever home. Just another day hoping someone will finally choose her.

And we are heartbroken.

Because Ivy is SUCH a good girl. She's playful, sweet and cuddly. She sleeps beside you at night, makes the sweetest little biscuits, gives gentle head butts and soft kisses, and has the loudest little purr motor you've ever heard. ❤️ She has so much love bottled up inside that tiny body, just waiting for someone to give it to.

Ivy would LOVE a home with other cats to play with. She'd be thrilled to have feline friends to chase and wrestle with! She's also completely indifferent to dogs, so a respectful pup isn't likely to bother her. She just needs a family who understands that friendships take time and will give her proper, slow introductions to any resident pets. (This is always best practice)

Ivy has spent 223 days waiting for someone to make her theirs. She deserves a family who will cherish her, a home where she belongs, and a lifetime of love that she never has to question.

Please help us find that family. Share her post. Tell your friends. Don't let her become the kitten everyone remembers seeing but nobody ever brings home.

We owe it to this girl to keep trying. We owe it to her to find the wonderful family she deserves.

Her siblings have their happy endings.

It's Ivy's turn. Please, let's make sure she gets hers. ❤️🐾
