Notes from New Beginnings Cat Rescue

Ralphie is a one-of-a-kind DSH orange tabby male born approximately 5/5/2025.

Ralphie's story is as special as his sweet little face!

When Ralphie was rescued as a tiny kitten, he had injuries to one side of his ear, lip, and mouth. No one knows exactly what happened, but the important part is this: he healed beautifully. Today, he may look just a little “rough around the edges,” but those marks only tell the story of a brave little survivor with the gentlest heart.

Don’t let his tough-guy appearance fool you — Ralphie is pure sweetness. He’s affectionate, kind, and so grateful to be safe indoors. He has recently perfected the art of “making biscuits” and will happily whip up a full batch while purring up a storm in your lap. It’s his favorite way of saying thank you.

Ralphie has also formed a precious bond with his foster sister, Baby. They play together, nap together, and give each other confidence. These two besties would love nothing more than to find a forever home where they can stay side by side.

If you’re looking for a resilient little soul with a big heart (and excellent biscuit-making skills), Ralphie is ready to meet you.

Ralphie is microchipped and currently in a loving foster home. His adoption fee is $110.
