Riopelle Domestic Short Hair Toronto, ON

Riopelle hails from the countryside where he has been slowly transitioning to indoor life. A lovely man who took him in and got him medical care worked hard to build Riopelle's trust and show him how safe and cozy indoor life can be. Unfortunately, his guardian is moving to an assisted living facility and is heartbroken that he cannot take his precious Riopelle with him.

This gorgeous, 6-year old boy is independent with an easy going temperament. He will be shy in new surroundings and take some time to build comfort with new people. Once he trusts you he will be warm, affectionate and sit next to you, accepting long head scratches and even belly rubs. He is not quite ready to be held. Riopelle is food motivated which will be a great tool to help win him over. His new guardians will need to exercise portion control with a good quality, high protein diet to make sure he trims down and stays healthy.

He does love a good quality cat nip, which really brings out his gregarious side.

He will do well in a house where he has space to roam, levels to explore, and windows to look out and watch the world go by. Keeping him physically and mentally engaged will help ensure Riopelle lives a happy and healthy life.
