Rue

Sassy lady Rue isn’t afraid to take charge! She always greats us with a hiss, making sure we know she’s the boss, before coming to settle down for lap snuggles and plenty of love. While she acts tough, we know that her apparently contradictory behaviour comes from her uncertainty and worried nature, so her new family needs to be prepared to give her time and space to settle in. She will need her own room so that she can slowly build up confidence in her new home. She hasn’t shown interest in play yet, but she enjoys climbing and hiding in well-covered cat trees.
Once you melt Rue’s icy exterior, you find that she is a gentle and sweet cat underneath it all, and she will be a rewarding companion for someone willing to put up with her giving them the cold shoulder initially!
Volunteer’s comments- "Wow! After chatting for a while and offering small bits of chicken, Rue became bolder. I sat on the floor and Rue climbed on my knee, then mooched around, climbing on and off my lap accepting fuss, Rue is a real softie!"”
A word from Rue's fosterers:
Rue is a lovely girl who has settled well into her foster home. She came to us nervous and wary of people and noises but through giving her time to explore and gain trust of those around her she is beginning to show her loving, sweet and playful nature. She enjoys spending time in the same room as us and loves to play. Her favourite for now is chasing and batting a fish on a stick! Rue has a sweet little meow, purrs loudly when brushed which she absolutely loves and enjoys watching the world go by from the windowsill. We feel she’s made great progress at her foster home although still sensitive to sudden noise. Rue will suit a quiet kind home where she can approach her new owners on her own accord and seek the attention and love we feel she so wants and deserves. A beautiful cat!
