My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Age: 5 year old
Adoption Fee: $150.00

Hi, I’m Oreo. I’ve been through a lot in my little life, but thanks to the kind people at RWAR, I’m finally feeling so much better. When I first arrived, I wasn’t in great shape, but with love and care, I’ve made an amazing recovery. I’m FIV positive, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying life or being a loyal and loving companion. I’m a quiet, laid-back guy who enjoys lounging in cozy spots, snacking on tasty treats, and asking for gentle pets when the mood strikes. I also love being brushed and will gladly soak up the attention during a grooming session. I like to talk when I have something to say, and while I appreciate calm company, I prefer the indoor life. My foster even tried taking me outside on a leash, but I made it clear that I’m not an outdoor explorer. I’d be the perfect match for someone who loves dogs but is looking for a mellow cat to share their space. If you’re searching for a sweet companion who enjoys a peaceful, cozy lifestyle, I might be your perfect match.

Adoption Fee: $150.00
Our adoption fee includes the FVRCP vaccine series, rabies vaccine, spay/neuter surgery, 3-in-1 IDEXX SNAP test (FIV, FeLV, heartworm), deworming treatment, flea and tick prevention, and a general wellness exam.

More about this rescue

MISSION
Our mission is to be a voice and a home for dogs and cats who do not have one. To provide love, care, and shelter for those who have never had it or have lost it. We believe all animals are deserving. We will rescue, protect, vet, and provide hope as we search for loving forever homes for all animals that come into our care.

PURPOSE
Ruby Whiskers Animal Rescue, based in Lemont, IL, is dedicated to rescuing, vetting, and rehoming animals from shelters and other abandoned situations. Operated by dedicated volunteers and supported by foster families and sponsors, our goal is to provide the necessary veterinary care, grooming, and love while finding them forever homes.​​​

GOALS
Successfully rescue and rehome dogs and cats from kill shelters and other abandoned situations.

Spay/neuter all animals that come into our care.

Grow a foster and volunteer network.

Support and educate the community of the importance of spay and neuter.

Keep pets with their families by providing assistance with pet food, training, vetting, or any other pet related issue, in order to keep them together and out of the shelter.

Educate adults and children to build awareness, responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay and neuter for all animals.

Advocate for stronger laws regarding animal welfare, cruelty, and puppy mills/pet stores.

Help decrease the homeless/abandoned animal population to in turn reduce euthanasia rates at shelters and animal control organizations.

PHILOSOPHY
Successful RWAR adoptions depend on strong relationships with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers. Through these relationships we will be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year and provide them with loving temporary care and carefully-matched forever homes.

SUPPORT
Best Friend’s Animal Society NO-KILL 2025 Goal

Reaching no-kill by 2025 means that every shelter in our country is getting the community support it needs to save every dog and cat who can be saved. *When a shelter is saving at least 90% of dogs and cats entering that shelter, it is designated as no-kill.*
