A handsome fella looking for a home in Seattle

 Meet Rico, a young tuxedo kitten ready to steal your heat with his charms. He's described as an all around happy guy who loves to cuddle. Thanks to organizations like Seattle's FCAT: Feral Cat Assistance and Rescue, he is one of many kitties given a chance at a forever home away from the dangers feral cats face every day. Programs such as FCAT are not shelters; they specialize in TNR: Trap, Neuter and Return programs for feral cats in the area. Using traps such as the well known Havahart style, programs like this capture feral cats in order to spay/neuter them, then return them back into the wild usually with a tagged ear to distinguish those that have been altered. Doing this work sometimes brings about a litter of kittens. Unlike adult cats which have never had close human contact, kittens do have the ability to bond and socialize well into a human home.  If you'd like to meet him, visit All The Best Pet Care in Ballard at 1909 NW Market St.
