Kiwi is a very sociable kitty and is very independent and playful. However…
Kiwi the Cat from Qatar!!
…she prefers to do her own thing and does not like human intervention OR to be inside at all. She is the protector of her brother Mango who is scared of most things, except when he is next to Kiwi. Kiwi and her brother were both rescued from a busy parking lot in the country of Qatar as young kittens and were constantly abused by the parking attendants and car owners. Thankfully a kind human was able to scoop them up and bring them to safety where they eventually found their way to Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary. These siblings will always have a home at Rikki’s where they will be safe and loved.
Lucky and his best friend, Eddie!
In the last year, two great boys joined us at Rikki’s. Lucky, a one-year old Black Angus steer and Eddie, an almost 23-year old mini horse, came in and almost instantly have become the best of friends. You will never see one without the other. Eddie came from a very loving family but all of his pasture mates had passed away and he was a lonely guy. He was a bit shy when he first arrived at Rikki’s, but with time and patience, he has blossomed and loves tour groups and treats!! Lucky was also loved by two young girls, but he was raised to be shown for 4-H when he turned one and you may be able to guess what often happens to the cattle after they are shown. It’s usually not a good outcome. The girls and their mom and grandmother wanted a different outcome for Lucky, so the grandmother purchased Lucky and he was able to come to live out his life peacefully at Rikki’s Refuge. Lucky is like a big dog and wags his tail happily when greeting visitors! Next time you are at Rikki’s, please be sure to stop by and visit this awesome duo!
