Meet RUBY TUESDAY - THE LOVEABLE RAGDOLL LADY
Loveable Ruby Tuesday is a 5 year old Purebred Chocolate Point Ragdoll with beautiful medium ocean blue eyes. Ruby came into our private rescue through no fault of her own after her elderly owner needed to surrender her due to moving into assisted living after her husband passed away, her owner was truly heartbroken to give her up. Sadly, Ruby had lacked care and she came in very matted all over her body and required a summer lion cut to be done, she was also grossly overweight at 18.4 pounds and needed a change of diet so she could gradually lose some weight and become healthier before Diabetes could possibly set in. Ruby was so large and overweight that she could not properly wash herself to keep herself clean and she ended up with a urinary bacterial infection due to not keeping herself clean due to all the matted fur around her backside. Even though Ruby was in so much pain with the mats in her fur pulling on her skin all over making her miserable, she remained very sweet and loving during this whole time with her foster home until she could have her summer Lion Cut done so her fur could grow out and be beautiful again. Ruby was given an antibiotic shot by our Vet and a follow up antibiotic shot and she has recovered from her urinary bacterial infection.
Ruby has lost some weight gradually with her new diet and exercise and she now weighs 15.4 pounds; she will need to continue her gradual weight loss journey with her diet plan and more play exercise for her would also help to burn some additional calories off. Ruby will need to remain on a Veterinary Prescription Dry Food for the rest of her life so she can maintain a lower calorie diet, she has done very well on the Purina One Veterinary Prescription Weight Management food, both dry and wet food is available at most Vet clinics and also on Chewy and at PetSmart with her Veterinary Prescription from her Vet. Ruby will need to have her sanitary shave maintained by your Vet or a groomer every few months and she may need some pet wipes used on her to help her keep her backside clean while she continues to lose weight as she becomes more flexible and agile to wash herself correctly. Ruby has been very good natured when pet wipes are used on her, it’s as if she knows you are helping her to keep her backside clean. Ruby currently has her summer Lion Cut and her fur is growing back nicely. The majority of Ragdolls are a larger size kitty that are more girthy big boned kitties and typically they weigh anywhere from 10-20 pounds, Ruby weighed 21.8 pounds last year in August with her previous owner, she came into rescue weighing 18.4 pounds and she is now at 15.3 pounds, we feel reaching closer to 14 pounds is an obtainable goal with her new owner and her new weight management food.
Sweet Ruby is a very affectionate big girl that loves to be brushed, she LOVES to be pet and to lay on your lap or next to you while you watch TV, read or work on your laptop, this girl will just lay by you (or on you) for hours if you let her! Ruby loves to take naps laying in the sun as it shines thru the windows in her foster home so a sunny place for her would be very desirable in her new home. She loves to sit by windows and watch the birds and other wildlife outside; she also loves to play with feather wands and red straws from Kwik Trip for her nighttime exercise. Ruby uses her scratching post at her foster home religiously every morning when she wakes up and at night before going to bed, she has impeccable litter box use with unscented clumping cat litter. Favorite toys have been balls with bells in them, plastic springs, feather wands and her all time play time favorite is the red straws from Kwik Trip.
Ruby has the classic Ragdoll long fur that will need daily brushing to help keep her fur beautiful and to keep it from getting matted. It would also be advisable to keep her with a sanitary shave so she has an easier time washing herself and for pet wipes being used as needed. She has the darker Chocolate Points on her muted Chocolate color body, her Chocolate mask on her face really makes her blue eyes stand out especially in the sunshine. Ruby came into rescue as a non-papered CFA Purebred Ragdoll, her adoption fee has been adjusted lower to reflect that of a non-papered purebred cat.
Did I mention she also adores to be brushed and play with a constant supply of red straws from Kwik Trip?
Ruby was deeply loved as a companion cat to her previous owner. Ruby has a very dog-like personality, she will be very faithful to her owner and be your best companion kitty. We feel she would probably do best as a single or as the only cat in the household, unless you have an existing very mellow male kitty that would be respectful of her and not try to dominate her, as she has the more dominate personality of a female cat to begin with. Ruby would also need to be fed separately from another kitty in the home unless they are both on the same weight management dry and wet food. In her current multi-cat foster home, she gets along with a few of the more mellow carefree male Siamese & Ragdoll cats but there is other more dominate males and female cats she does not seem to like or care for. With that said, we feel she would also be fine either all by herself as the Princess of the house or in a home that has a cat friendly more mellow kitty in it. Ruby has not been around younger children, but she should be fine with older middle school and high school age kids that are more cat friendly and respectful of kitties. Slow introductions would need to occur with the children or another existing mellow male kitty in the home.
Ruby has all her claws, she is spayed and up to date on all her Vaccines, she tested negative for FIV & FeLV, her Bloodwork was run in the last 3 months – all is perfect, she is also microchipped. Ruby will come with her own dowry which includes her own kitty bed, one brand new cat litter box and her two ceramic whisker friendly food dishes she is used to eating from, various toys she likes, whatever remains in her bag of prescription dry food and cans of wet food, also her Veterinary Prescription will be provided that is good for the next year so you can order her food for her.
