This is Ruby a lovely ginger girl who was left on our door step one night. Unfortunately we know nothing about her or where she came from. Since she has been here she has got on well with other cats and really enjoys people company. She was really a bit obsessive about food, but has settled down well, now that she knows regular food is going to be around she is very happy.
