Ruby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 7 months

Looking for a little sparkle in your life? Then let us introduce Ruby who's ready to steal hearts, claim sofas, and shine bright in her forever home. Like the precious gemstone she's named after, Ruby is one of a kind. She's playful, curious, and always on the lookout for her next adventure, whether that's chasing toys, investigating mysterious noises, or perfecting the art of kitten zoomies at top speed! At just 7 months old, Ruby is still polishing her skills as a professional house cat, but she's already mastered the important things: being adorable, making people smile, and looking impossibly cute while doing absolutely nothing. Ruby is hoping to find a family who will treasure her for the gem that she is. In return, she promises to add plenty of sparkle, laughter, and love to your days. She may have a mischievous streak, but that's just part of her charm. After all, every jewel has its facets! So if you've got room in your heart for a kitten who's worth her weight in rubies, don't leave this precious girl hidden away. Give Ruby the chance to shine in a forever home of her own.

About Ruby

What life with Ruby looks like

Ruby is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ruby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ruby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Assisi Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ruby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Assisi Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ruby already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ruby isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Assisi Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruby and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
