This week’s WGBR Pet of the Week powered by Jackson & Sons spotlight shines on a truly special feline friend—Ripsey, a 2-year-old domestic shorthaired cat with a heart as big as his paws.

Ripsey is a striking black and white boy with soulful eyes and a calm, gentle nature. Described as a “gentle giant” by shelter staff, Ripsey has quickly won over hearts with his laid-back demeanor and affectionate personality. Whether he’s lounging in a sunny window or curling up next to you on the couch, Ripsey’s favorite place is wherever you are.

At just two years old, Ripsey is the perfect mix of youthful energy and mature chill.   He’s also a social guy who enjoys the company of people and would thrive in a loving home where he can be the center of attention—or even share the spotlight with other friendly pets.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who offers unconditional love, soft purrs, and the occasional head boop, Ripsey might just be your perfect match.

Stop by the Wayne County Animal Shelter to meet Ripsey in person. He’s ready to trade in shelter life for a forever home full of warmth, treats, and lots of cuddles.

Help us help Ripsey find the home he deserves—share his story and spread the word!
