About Rue

Rue is a sweet little kitten who came to us after being rescued from the Arizona heat. When she arrived, she was unsure about humans and spent her early days hiding at every opportunity. However, with patience and the right approach, she has begun to warm up to the idea of companionship. Her foster discovered that engaging her with a feather wand is the key to breaking through her shyness. Once Rue feels comfortable with the wand, she transitions to gentle human interaction, revealing her affectionate side. She is a bit of a challenge but worth every effort—every inch she moves closer is a victory. It's important to note that Rue must be adopted with her brother, Cinna. They will flourish in a calm home with patient adopters, especially those with older children who understand boundaries. With gentle introductions and lots of love, Rue will make a wonderful companion. Rue is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, including FVRCP. Join the journey to give Rue and Cinna the loving home they deserve. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
