REVISED Sunday Tour Schedule at Rikki’s Refuge
Reservations and Tickets REQUIRED
For more information email tours@rikkisrefuge.org

Today (Tuesday, February 24, 2015) is……WORLD SPAY DAY!

Between 3 and 4 million adoptable animals are euthanized in animal shelters each year simply because they do not have homes. These high numbers are the result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying or neutering. Spaying and neutering dramatically reduces the number of stray animals on the streets and in shelters.

Tiffy is an Official Rikki’s Refuge Black Cat — She arrived at Rikki’s at the age of 6-months, as a semi-feral barn cat. In her 5 years at Rikki’s, she has learned to trust and love people and is completely domesticated! She is playful and affectionate. She is a beautiful long hair black cat with a tiny patch of white on her chest and some brownish-reddish highlights in her fur. Stunning!

Rikki’s has a fabulous re-sale shop in Fredericksburg, VA called Re-Tail. One of the best things about Re-Tail is the Kitty Adoption Room. Tiffy came to Re-Tail, hoping to find her furrever home, on March 9, 2014. That is almost a YEAR AGO. The other cats who arrived at the same time, have ALL found their furrever homes. But not poor Tiffy, the Black Kitty. Let’s not let Tiffy have a 1-year anniversary at Re-Tail waiting for her furrever home. Let’s MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW and help her find her a home with a family who is worthy of her love and affection before then. Please SHARE for Tiffy.

You can visit and meet her during store hours, see below. 

Call Re-Tail for more information about Tiffy and our adoption process!
