My story

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

Ruari is a kitty who has had a hard life and is looking for a loving forever home. We believe he once had a home, but was abandoned to life on the street for some years. He lost some teeth and the sight in one eye. While in foster care, he has shown that he will need time to learn to trust people. But don't let that put you off. Once he is comfortable in his new home, he will spend his time in living areas with the people of the household. He isn't even scared off by the vacuum cleaner.

Given a supply of toys, he will play with great vigor. He is an excellent climber, runner, and jumper. He requires a monthly injection for arthritis, but this works quite well at maintaining his status as star athlete of his current foster home. His hard years haven't slowed him down. There are two other cats in his current foster home. There was some friction at first, but everyone seems to get along fine now.

Ruari seems quite content to amuse himself during the day and is well behaved. At meal-times, you will have a purring friend if you hold the spoon out for him to lick. He may even stand on his back legs for you.
