About Ruby

If my big, sweet eyes aren't enough to win you over, my cute personality is sure to do the trick! I was surrendered to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay because my owner has too many pets.

About Domestic Medium Hair Cats

Domestic Medium Hairs are versatile, beautiful cats with plush coats that fall between short and long hair. Not a specific breed, they're among the most common cats in shelters, offering a wonderful balance of beauty and manageable grooming. Their mixed heritage gives each one a distinctive look and personality.

Adopting a Domestic Medium Hair means choosing a resilient, adaptable companion with the genetic advantages of mixed ancestry. These cats bond well with families, adjust easily to new environments, and require less grooming than long-haired breeds. They're proof that shelter cats make extraordinary pets.
