His gold eyes pull you in to his “catness” and before you know it, you’ve fallen in love with Rico, Kane County Animal Control’s black, 1-year old domestic short hair.

Rico

He came to KCAC’s shelter as a stray and everyone immediately fell under this little stud-muffin’s spell.

Rico enjoys spending his days lounging in the sun or interacting with the kennel staff. When he finds a cat toy, he chases it across the floor or hunts it as if he’s a panther in the wilds hunting his prey.

Rico is very friendly, enjoying a good snuggle while he warms your lap and your heart.
