turkeys gobble gobble 2 - SIZEDOur turkeys continue to be game-changers for so many who visit us at Rikki’s Refuge. Seeing their gentleness, their playfulness, and their amazingly friendly and funny social behavior ~ it catches many of us off guard. And then we wonder how we ever thought otherwise. Two great reasons pictured here to consider adopting a
plant-based lifestyle.

Camelot!

This handsome boy is CAMELOT (do you love his mustache?) and he has captured the heart of everyone at Rikki’s Refuge.

He came to us with leg issues, but for now they are just fine – still no surgery required – and he is a lovebug. Oh, and he loves for his favorite human Tina to hold him and carry him around like a baby (although he gets around by himself just fine too!)!

He might be a bit spoiled!

This handsome guy is Mikey.

Mikey cat pretty - SIZED

He came to us when his home that he shared with a group of other feral cats, an abandoned office building, was scheduled to be bulldozed. Lucky for Mikey and his friends, their caretaker wanted a better outcome for them so she searched high and low until she found Rikki’s Refuge.

And because YOU have always supported our mission, we were able to say YES to bringing this group to Rikki’s! We are happy to report that Mikey and his friends are thriving at Rikki’s Refuge!
