Ruby is a loving, snuggling, sweetheart of a girl who will have you melting for her. Ruby LOVES people! She’s a pretty chill girl that just wants to be doted on by people 24/7. She’ll follow you around, chatting with you, asking for pets and snuggles. She is deaf and has the funniest meow that’s sorta loud that she’ll use to converse with you.

Ruby’s ideal home is one where someone is home much of the time, retired, work from home job or multiple humans to spend time with her and shower her with lots of attention. She will thrive being part of a family that includes her in daily life. An older kid or two that are respectful of cats would be welcomed. If you have a dog that would ignore her or a cat that is really sweet and relaxed, that might be okay. She’d also be fine as an only cat. Having only one human who works full-time out of the house isn’t a fit for her. In the event you’re looking for a work from home assistant, Ruby is your girl! Not gonna lie, she really, really likes to sleep at night in bed with people.

Being a flat-faced girl, she’ll need the usual eye cleaning. Typical of her breed, she should have regular combing to maintain her luxurious coat. Trimming back nails isn’t a problem, she’s just a bit wiggly.

Ruby came to us as a front paw declaw and we did our best to minimize pain with a declaw repair, so her toes weren’t curled under. That being said she will sometimes limp just like a human with a joint injury. She is great with her litter box but will need at least one senior litter box per floor of the home(she can’t be expected to run from a first or second floor to a basement), with no top and a very low front so it’s easier for her to get in and out. Her box is scooped multiple times a day and a washable puppy pad is in front of her box in the event her back side is hanging over the entrance to the litter box. She uses a lightweight unscented litter so it’s easier on her feet such as World’s Best or PetsMart Grass Seed scoopable litter. She is schedule fed Fancy Feast or Weruva canned food for breakfast and dinner and eats off a flat plate to accommodate her flat face and whiskers. Schedule feeding is best for her feet because it keeps her at a healthy weight. She uses a stainless water fountain for clean, fresh water.

Starting out in a bedroom or home office as basecamp with introductions and access to the home at a speed acceptable and safe for Ruby and other pets in the home is a must.
