My story

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

Meet Ruthie – A Shy Sweetheart Looking for Her Second Chance

Ruthie is a beautiful little lady with a soft, delicate voice and a heart full of love—once she decides you’ve earned it. Originally adopted as a kitten and returned through no fault of her own, Ruthie is hoping this time she’ll find her true forever home.

By nature, Ruthie is a one-person cat. She can be shy and skittish at first, but with patience and a gentle approach, she blossoms into a loyal, loving companion. Once she’s comfortable, Ruthie enjoys lounging on her favorite couch or curling up in boxes in the funniest poses. She loves sitting by big windows, watching the world go by, and chattering at the birds outside.

Ruthie gets along well with other cats—sometimes she’ll become their quiet friend, sharing space peacefully, or even join in on mutual grooming or a gentle wrestling match (with a very clear sense of when to tap out!).

She’s surprisingly tolerant of babies and small children after some time, though she prefers to grace them with her calm presence rather than being handled.

Playtime is one of Ruthie’s favorite parts of the day! Toys on strings are her weakness, and she’ll chase them until she’s delightfully tired. Laser pointers don’t impress her much, but paper grocery bags, pipe cleaners, and ping pong balls are a big hit—especially if another cat joins the fun.

Ruthie also makes a wonderful studio companion. She loves lying quietly on the craft table, keeping her person company while they paint or create. Jewelry wire, however, is just too tempting for her curious paws—so she still needs a little supervision there!

When it comes to food, Ruthie knows what she likes: canned fish or meat in broth, and especially the mousse-style treats in pouches.

Quiet, affectionate on her own terms, and full of quirky charm, Ruthie is the perfect match for someone who appreciates a gentle soul and is willing to give her the time and trust she needs to shine. She’s ready for her second chance—could you be the one to give her the forever home she’s been waiting for?

She has recently gone through oral surgery to have a couple teeth removed but has a clean bill of health according to our vet
