Meet Rigby – The Cowardly Lion with a Heart of Gold 🦁💛

If you’ve ever wished you could cuddle a character straight out of a storybook, Rigby is your guy. At 4 years old, this fluffy feline embodies the Cowardly Lion—brave in spirit but still working on his roar. Don’t let his shy side fool you—beneath that cautious exterior is a total sweetheart who’s just waiting for the right person to give him his happily ever after.

Rigby’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was left in a carrier on the front porch of our shelter, a little confused and a lot heartbroken. But even after that rough start, he still greets us with gentle eyes and the softest little meows. He’s the kind of cat who won’t knock your coffee off the table—but he will steal your heart while peeking at you from behind the couch pillow.

He’s looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the sweet soul he is. A cozy window perch, some crunchy treats, and a patient human sidekick—that’s Rigby’s dream life.

If you believe in second chances, love a good underdog (or undercat), and have room in your home for a brave little lion who just wants to love and be loved—Rigby is ready to follow the yellow brick road right to your heart. 💛

P.S. Bonus points if you sing him lullabies. He’s a sucker for a good ballad.
