My story

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

This is, Ryzhaya, but I call her Ryz-bit. Her name means red head in Russian. She is a 3 year old Main Coon mix.

She was found as a kitten outside of Petsmart covered in fleas. Her tail doesnt work right so she can only really move the tip of it and sometimes just lift the base. She is leash trained, knows "come touch" and "sit" and we have been working on spin. She use to work with getting dogs ready for a CGC (she'd prance on a leash in front of them). Her favorite thing of all those is absolutely any form of attention.

Unfortunately I got hurt at work, and I cannot afford to keep up with her. She has an anxiety disorder of some kind and thus pees on beds and things she finds comfort in. Honestly, antianxiety meds are the next step to try but I cannot afford it. And with a toddler and being injured to many things have stacked up for me to be able to provide the care she deserves.

I desperately love her, but there is no way for me to keep her anymore. Shes a wonderful girl.
