Rufus, a sad cat . . . .

Every once in a while a cat enters the shelter that tugs at your heart, and Rufus is one of those cats . . . through no fault of his own he found himself homeless after living in his home for 7 years. 

If you are considering bringing a feline friend into your life please consider Rufus, he is quite sad at the shelter. 

Here is Rufus . . . . .

and some info on Rufus . . . .

Rufus is a rather large and distinguished cat who appears a little puzzled at finding himself homeless and living the Communal life. We too are wondering what a wise soul such as Rufus is doing here instead of living in his own home. The reason, a baby arrived and Rufus had to go even though he didn't do anything to cause his eviction.  Large in size - yes, that's not all fur you see - Rufus is nevertheless a gentle cat who keeps to himself, tip toeing around the other cats so as not to cause any problems. He's also not pushy and waits for you notice him, ever the gentleman Rufus then stands quietly waiting for you to stroke and pet him, purring softly the whole time.  Please don't be deterred by the amount of fur you see on Rufus, his fur is thick and doesn't mat easily though his chest does need to be watched . . . but brushing and grooming Rufus is a breeze because he loves it! 

Good natured and mellow Rufus should blend into almost home without causing a ripple, though due to his size you might notice a small indent in the couch cushion after he's been lying beside you while you relax and read a book, watch TV or just simply enjoy each others company.

Though Rufus still gets up hopefully when someone enters the Communal Room, he really is lost without a home and has already been waiting three months for someone to notice him . . . Rufus doesn't ask for much - somone to love, someone to love him in return and a place to call home, once again.

Please spread the word about Rufus.
