RUBY Bengal Columbus, OH

Sweet little Ruby was born on May 2, 2024, along with her two sisters and two brothers under a chicken coop. When she was barely two weeks old Ruby’s Mana left her kittens and something happened because she didn’t come back.

The neighbors heard kittens crying under the coop but there was nothing that they could do….until that night when the babies started to crawl out trying to find food and warmth. It was very cold that week especially for May. Ruby was the first to make it out. Her eyes were barely open, she was cold and starving. Her litter mates were close behind, barely able to walk…wet, cold and hungry.

When PetPromise arrived after hearing about these kittens, little Ruby was the first one to cry out when we picked her up…she nuzzled into our blanket…wet and cold and crying. One of her brothers had died before we arrived…and the second little boy died as we raced to get them help.

For the first 7 days after they were rescued we didn’t know if any of the three little girl kittens would live. They were all starving and weak…too weak to drink from a bottle…they had to be syringe fed. Every day we held our breath hoping they would hang on fur another day and grow…and they did
?

Ruby was the biggest of the three girls…she was the Bengal mix with her perfectly spotted belly and her brown tiger stripes. She was the first to love people and the first to our…and she purred every time she was picked up even as a baby. She was the smart, active little one…learning to climb up the bed to cuddle with a person, the one to lead the others to the warm bed for sleep.  Today, because she was fed from a bottle by people since her eyes opened, she is a people cat. She loves everyone and purrs as soon as someone holds her or pets her. She loves other cats and is playful...but when it is time to nap or sleep she will find a person to cuddle with. She is so smart and is watching whatever a person does and follows them around trying to be part of everything. She is the gentle cuddler that loves to play but will choose to come over and sit quietly with a person if you are there.  As soon as you pick her up she purrs and purrs.  She isn't happier than when she is with a person cuddling.
