ABOUT RICHIE
Carlie, a young feline who was in the family way, knew she would be giving birth to her litter of kittens soon. So, she looked for a safe place and found one on the back patio of a home. She delivered her five kittens, two girls and three boys, and then her luck got even better. Carlie and her new family were accepted at AALOC, where they all would be cared for without any concern about finding food or being safe. Named after the Happy Days TV show, the girls are called Shirley and Joanie, and the boys Richie, Chachi and of course, Fonzy.
Richie is an adorable fellow that loves to be held and petted; he’s super friendly. He has a fascination with mobile phones and is very curious about how they work, so he might also be the “techie” one of the litter. Mackerel tabbies come in all colors, but Richie is particularly handsome with his broad white chest and paws. He looks a like Fonzy but for the two brown marks on either side of his nose.
In general mackerel tabbies are known to be adventurous and fun to own. They are very playful and like to have a box of toys from which to choose. They can be “inspectors,” and like to be included in anything that is happening in the house and explore their domains. Many mackerel tabby owners feel mackerel tabbies are extremely intelligent and some say mackerel tabbies are more dog than cat, since they will readily follow you around, play fetch and like to snuggle.
Please submit an application to adopt Richie and perhaps one of his siblings too. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Richie and get to know him a bit.
