Riley

Hi, I'm Reilly, a handsome 4-year-old orange tabby with a tale that's equal parts adventure and triumph. Picture this: I was out on my own in a wild area teeming with predators, no family to call my own, and suddenly-bam!-I ended up with a broken toe and foot that left me in agony. I couldn't defend myself, couldn't run, and had no clue how to make the pain stop. Life was looking pretty grim.

But then, I spotted a group of kind-hearted rescuers feeding some dogs nearby. With nothing to lose, I mustered all my courage and hopped over on my three good legs, meowing for help as best I could. Those dog rescuers saw my plea and didn't hesitate-they got me to safety right away.

That's when Texas CARES stepped in like the heroes they are. They whisked me off to the vet, where I got the care I desperately needed. My injuries healed up nicely, and since I was still intact back then, I knew I couldn't responsibly father any kittens out in the world. Texas CARES made sure I was fully vetted and neutered, turning me into the healthy, happy guy I am today.

These days, I'm a bit shy at first-can you blame me after what I've been through?-but I absolutely adore chilling with other non-dominant cats who respect my space. Kittens? Not my thing; they're way too energetic for this laid-back orange boy. I'm dreaming of a forever home where I can lounge in the sun, get plenty of pets, and live the peaceful life I deserve.
