Ripper's Story:
Ripper was born in the back alleys of London, the proud (and slightly notorious) descendant of Old Grim and Duchess, two legendary street cats who ruled their turf with an iron paw. From an early age, Ripper learned the ins and outs of alley life—dodging market vendors, outsmarting rival cats, and finding the best fish scraps in town. He spent his youth running with The Black Claw Syndicate, a gang of scrappy felines known for their control over prime dumpster territory.

Despite his rough exterior, Ripper always dreamed of something more; a warm home, a steady meal, and maybe a human to call his own. But life in the fast lane caught up with him one fateful night when he misjudged a speeding car. Thankfully, a kind-hearted human scooped him up and brought him to the rescue, where he’s been recovering and rethinking his future ever since.

Now, Ripper is looking to leave his street days behind and settle into a comfortable home. He’s got a bit of a tough-guy attitude, but deep down, he’s a softie who loves chin scratches and curling up in warm spots. He’ll need a patient owner who understands his independent streak and appreciates his colorful past.

If you're looking for a cat with character, charm, and just the right amount of mischief, Ripper is the perfect fit. Adopt him today and give him the second chance he deserves.

Special Notes:

  • Ripper still struts like he's the king of the alley.

  • Prefers his food dish full and his enemies far away.

  • He’s not one for too much cuddling, but he’ll be your loyal companion once trust is earned.
