River is a majestic black, medium-haired Maine Coon mix with a big heart to match his impressive size. This gentle giant was once thought to be feral, but thanks to a kind lady who showed him the joys of love and lap time, River has become an incredibly affectionate companion.

River adores lounging on human laps, soaking up head pets, and following you around for more attention. True to his Maine Coon heritage, River is a confident, independent boy who knows what he wants. If he’s had enough petting, he may give a gentle love nip to let you know—nothing serious, just his way of communicating.

River loves dogs, even the big ones, and enjoys their company indoors and outside. He’ll happily follow them into the yard, even in winter, and stick close by until it’s time to come back inside. With other cats, he’s more particular. He’s fine with the ones he likes.  He’d thrive as an only cat but also coexists with calm, respectful felines who understand his need for personal space.

River is around a 5 years old and has a zest for exploring the outdoors, so a home where he can safely spend time outside would make him very happy. This big, affectionate boy is looking for someone to share his love, lap snuggles, and backyard adventures. Interested in adopting River? Contact 720-563-7141 today! He’s in Anchorage.
