My story so far…

Hello my name is Ruby

I came into the sanctuary in August after I was found outside in need of desperate help. I was very underweight and in poor health at the time (please read my medical history). My finders were concerned for me and believed I had been abandoned by my owners.

I am a really sweet friendly girl and enjoy affection on my terms. I do enjoy my own space and independence too. I can be a bit grouchy at times If I am unhappy about something but I will just vocalise this and move away from the situation. I am a proper little foodie too. This is partly due to me having hyperthyroidism and probably also stems from the fact that I was on the streets fending for myself so my next meal is important to me. I can get a bit vocal around meal times in the cattery here and sometimes try it on for more food! My carers have given me extra meals since I arrived though as I needed to gain weight. I have put on over 1kg and I am now a really good weight.

I am an older girl and have been through a lot so I really need a loving and caring home now to live the rest of my years in!

Home I am looking for…

I would need to be rehomed as an only pet. I am quite grumpy around other cats and would not appreciate living with a dog either.

I would like a more chilled out home but I would happily live with an older teenage child that will respect my space. I just wouldn’t enjoy living with young children.

I am looking for a retirement home now on a permanent foster basis. Fostering me is very similar to a normal adoption however I will still be under the care of the sanctuary too as they will continue to pay for my veterinary fees due to my health needs. My fosterer will need to be within a reasonable distance from Redditch to be able to transport me to southcrest vets as this is the vets the sanctuary uses.

My fosterer will be required to buy my food

If your adoption application is successful the carer will contact you to further discuss our adoption process. Please note- to ensure suitability we do our rehoming checks before we can arrange any meets here at the sanctuary.

Medical history…

It is worth noting that when I was a kitten (2 years ago) in my previous home, I did see the vet for urinating around the house. I had a urine test which came back all clear and this issue stopped once I had been spayed. I had no further issues in my previous home then or since coming into the sanctuary. I am a very healthy girl with no current health concerns.

Diet…

I am on wet and dry food. I do prefer dry food and I am currently on a mixture of James wellbeloved and Purr & Miaow dry foods. I also enjoy a small amount of applaws or encore wet food daily too. I am quite a fancy cat and dont like the cheaper wet foods. My new humans would need to buy good quality wet and dry food for me!

If you think you could offer me the home I need, please fill out an Adoption Enquiry Form. Please make sure you have read about all of my needs and our adoption policies before applying.

Forms lacking in detail or with questions unanswered may not be considered, we need to ensure we are matching our cats to the right home for them.
