Meet Ricky - A Boy Who Likes to Call the Shots!

Ricky is a bit of a complicated character who likes having people around, but prefers to keep his personal space! He's happy to hang out nearby and enjoy your company, but being touched isn't really his thing. Ricky likes to be in control of when and how interactions happen, and he's looking for someone who understands that affection is strictly on his terms.

In foster care, Ricky has been making wonderful progress! He's been showing off his purrs and even offering contact himself, which is a lovely sign of the trust he's building. The trick is not to rush him or reach out for a pat - Ricky wants to be the one to make the first move.

He's looking for a patient, understanding home that will celebrate the little milestones, respect his boundaries and allow him to continue growing in confidence at his own pace.

Ricky might not be your traditional cuddly companion, but watching him learn to trust and choose you is a pretty special reward. Could you be the person who lets Ricky love you his way?

My health has been checked.

My worming is up to date.

I have been desexed.

I have been microchipped.

The Adoption Process

Cats - If you wish to adopt a cat you are welcome to visit both our Wingfield and Edinburgh North locations between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday.

Dogs - If you wish to adopt a dog, you are welcome to visit our Wingfield location between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Dog adoptions from Edinburgh North are by application only. Please fill out the application form on the dog's profile and wait for our staff to contact you.

Please note: if the animal you wish to adopt is listed as 'application only', please fill out the form on their profile and wait for our team to be in touch.

Once you have met an animal you would like to adopt, you can take them home the same day as all AWL animals are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and health checked ready for their new home (yes, even the kittens and puppies!)
