Blizzard recently announced that a revamped Recruit-A-Friend program will be returning. It's unclear when as an official date was not announced, but we'll likely see it appear in the near future. [source]
What's New?
Not much is known yet about this little monkey, however Wowhead has datamined its Pet Journal description:
"Rikki has a talent for sneaking in and out of all manner of small spaces, if bribed properly with figs."
To earn this battle pet, players will need to recruit a new friend, or recruit an account that has not had game time added to it in the past 2 years. After this recruit adds 1 month of game time or more to their account, Rikki should be claimable.
Other rewards include a new title, weapon enchant, tabard, cosmetic gear, and two 2-seater mounts. Learn more about these rewards in Blizzard's preview of the updated Recruit-A-Friend program.
What About Previous Rewards?
Unfortunately, it's unknown if the previous Recruit-A-Friend battle pets will be made available to collectors ever again.
No information was provided regarding these pets, so at this time we can only speculate that they have been retired either temporarily or permanently. We certainly hope that it's the former and we'll see them again in the future.

So, why don't we have any horse pets? We have cows and pigs and chickens and turkeys... (no ducks, go figure) Why not a donkey? Or a baby Invincible? Or a my little skele-pony???
