Meet Ralphie
Ralphie has been through so much but still has love in his heart and hope that he will find a family that gives him the life he deserves.
Ralphie's rescue journey began in 2020 when he was brought to animal control as a tiny orphan only a month old. He was rescued at Christmas time by an ARF foster who found him an adoptive family. We don't know the exact details but the next 5 years were not the best for Ralphie. He was attacked and picked on by other cats in the home and at some point he was put in a dirty garage to live alone in the dark. Ralphie was relinquished back to our rescue scared, with his white fur a dirty gray, and scars on his face from being attacked over and over again.
Despite the pain he endured, Ralphie is full of light and a sweet loving energy. He looks up at you with gratitude so happy to be in a safe and cozy place.
Ralphie loves to play with his spinny ball tower. He adores being brushed. Ralphie is a sucker for belly rubs and just wants to cuddle and be near you.
He is ready for his next chapter that will be the happily ever after that every cat deserves! He will do best as an only cat because of his past trauma. Older quiet kids are fine but his new home should be on the quiet side in order to best support his personality.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
