This is Ruby a sweet, affectionate, and mellow one-year-old spayed female cat. Ruby had a rough start in life and came from a situation where there was a great deal of overcrowding of felines and lack of socialization to human friends.

Upon coming to the Animal Rescue League of Boston, Ruby was very apprehensive at first despite the staff and volunteer’s best efforts to bring her out of her shell.

Finally one day she realized that the people here are not so bad and became the biggest snuggle bug ever. She does have her favorite volunteers here and with them she will roll around, rub up, and snuggle with them as much as she possibly can.

Ruby would still probably do best in a quiet home but does seem to enjoy the company of other cats and even dogs. On top of everything, Ruby had polyps in her ear that had to be removed and is now completely deaf in her right ear, but don’t worry it doesn’t slow her down.

Don’t miss out on your chance to bring this little love bug to your home, stop by the Animal Rescue League of Boston Adoption Center today to meet her!
