Ruth

Ruth

This week’s adorable pet may not be a portly slugger or a mortal threat to hot dogs, but adopting her will be a home run. Meet Ruth, a 1-year-old female domestic shorthair.

Ruth came to the shelter as a stray, and staff say she is sweet and likes to be held like a baby. She doesn’t enjoy being around other cats, but she’ll tolerate it as long as the other cats aren’t too pushy. Ruth loves human kids, and does well with men and women. Like many of us, she’s very motivated by treats and her added ounces are proof of her good behavior.

Ruth’s adoption fee is $60, which includes spaying/neutering/up-to-date vaccinations and microchipping.
