About Rhubarb

Meet Rhubarb—a sweet, gentle couch potato ready to swap her years outdoors for a well-earned life of luxury inside. About 8 years old, she’s bounced back from surgery to remove a troublesome ear polyp, which left her with a bit of a head tilt and some unsteady jumps, but Rhubarb handles these quirks in stride. She bonds quietly, purring and greeting you with her tail up, always glad for a gentle scratch or slow, calm company. She entertains herself with catnip toys and enjoys a good play session around the house. Her easygoing nature means she might get along with another mellow cat, but she’s happiest at the center of her person’s world. Older children who know how to respect boundaries fit her energy nicely. Rhubarb is on a special protein diet for mild skin sensitivities—future adopters might want to chat with their vet to see if she needs to stay on it long-term. Life indoors suits Rhubarb, and she’s more than ready to meet her new family at her foster home in Braintree, MA. She’s spayed, house trained, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/FeLV negative. Adoption fee is $200. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
