Ruby's Story

I'm Ruby-a sweet, curious girl who loves nothing more than sitting by the window,<br/>watching the birds and squirrels, while feeling fresh air on my fur. Sunshine naps<br/>in a cardboard box? Absolutely! I enjoy frolicking with my brother Max, playing<br/>with my toys, chasing kitty wands, and following you around to see what you are<br/>up to. When I become bonded with you, I will give you love gazes that melt your<br/>heart.<br/><br/>I adore treats, playtime and I deeply love my brother Max. As I feel comfortable in<br/>my new home, my personality will shine even brighter. My dream is to find a<br/>loving family who will pamper me with window perches, playtime and treats. I am<br/>extremely happy when treats are thrown for me and Max, we run and search for<br/>them. Both my brother and I have great senses of humour and we love people<br/>who interact with us. I’m very smart and even know how to high five for a treat!<br/>Ruby is the quieter, shy sibling of Max (don’t let this fool you, there is a clown<br/>below the surface!). <br/><br/>She's looking for a patient family who will give her time to build trust and confidence. Ruby feels most safe when her family allows her to come to them and she may, or may not become a lap cat. She happily approaches her people when she feels trusting; she will even walk on your lap to get a treat. It is a rewarding experience to bond with this girl. She truly is the most delightful companion and a joy to spend time with along with her brother.<br/><br/>To help Ruby feel comfortable in her new home, she would like to be adopted<br/>with her brother Max; double the joy, double the love! A quiet home without<br/>other pets would be ideal for this beautiful comical pair. These two will add<br/>nothing but joy and smiles to your home.<br/><br/>Would you like to make Ruby and Max a part of your family? Please complete our<br/>online application found at: www.avacats.org/adoption-application-form .<br/>Our adoption fees cover vetting and include spay/neuter, age appropriate<br/>vaccines (initial FVRCP and rabies), flea treatment, two deworming.<br/><br/>Adoption fees are $250 for each cat over 12 months old. Please note that fees<br/>may apply for additional required vaccinations (at $75 per booster) due prior to<br/>adoption. Total adoption fees will be confirmed by the AVA Adoption Coordinator.
