1. Ruby
4 Months 1 Day · Female · Tabby / Mixed · 29 mi from Iola







I love belly rubs, ear scratches and brushings. I love to play with balls, felt mice, ribbons (obviously, I am a girl :) and feathers. I like to play with my sister Rosie and groom her ears. I have beautiful tabby strips to go along with my gold eyes and long tail. I chase my tail at times but can't seem to catch it. I love to look out the window and chirp at bugs and birds. I would make a beautiful addition to a loving home.

Adopting a cat in Iola
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
