He loves to chat – always wants to keep the conversation going, but what he loves most of all are snuggles, kisses, and soaking up every bit of attention his humans will give him. This wonderful lover boy has quickly proven himself to be the ultimate cuddle companion.

Rye is also a cat who thrives on enrichment! He loves puzzle toys, wand toys, and chasing the laser – anything that keeps his big brain and playful energy engaged. He’s happiest when he’s playing with you, and in many ways, he feels like a dog in cat form: loyal, interactive, and full of personality.

He does get excited sometimes – his love bites and playful strength are just part of his charm. He’s also got a bit of sass when things don’t go his way, but he’s quick to apologize with kisses and snuggles once he’s realized he’s been a bit too cheeky (and it’s impossible to stay mad at him!). If you take the time to read his body language, you’ll know exactly what he wants – and he’ll reward you with endless affection.

In the shelter, Rye showed a spicy side, but in a home environment, his true personality has blossomed. He’s revealed himself to be a sweet, affectionate, and unapologetically himself kind of cat. The more he trusts you, the more kisses, snuggles, and soulful looks you’ll receive – like you’re his entire world.

Rye has completely stolen my heart, and I know he’ll do the same to his forever family. If you’re looking for a confident, loving, and dog-like soul-furbaby for life, Rye is waiting for you.
