About Ruth

Meet Ruth, a resilient and loving cat who has overcome quite a journey to find her forever home. After coming into the SPCA with an injury, it was discovered that she needed an amputation, but that hasn't slowed her down. In fact, she now hops around like a pogo stick and enjoys playing with her four-legged foster siblings. Ruth thrives on companionship, so she'll need a kitty friend to help her feel more at ease in a new environment. She may be a bit shy around people initially, but once she warms up, her affectionate nature shines through. She's fond of gentle pets, tasty treats, and loves to play with mouse toys. Ruth has a sweet little meow, which she uses to ask for attention and cuddles. This lovely girl is looking for a patient and understanding family who will allow her to blossom at her own pace. To meet Ruth, keep in mind that she is currently in a foster home, so an appointment is needed. For more information or to schedule a visit, please reach out to her foster at aubreyr@yourspca.org or call the SPCA's Adoptions Department at (716) 875-7360, ext. 207. Your new best friend is just one click away.
