Reba

My story

My name is Reba, yep as in I was named after Reba McEntire! I have beautiful long red fur just like my name sakes hair. I can also have a little bit of a diva personality but once I get to know you my purring will win you over for sure! Because I’m kind of a diva I do prefer to have no siblings of the human or fur variety. All your attention needs to be on me. I’m kind of funny in a way too because I’m really shy with meeting new people and all the sounds that come along with the unknown. My foster Mom said it took me a good week to come out from the room I started out at with her. The door was wide open but BOY it was all SO overwhelming! I felt safe curled up with her books on the bookshelf. She slowly helped me come out by moving my food tray a little every day. Looking back, I laugh as we cuddle on the couch together. She even got a pillow of my own to lay right next to her, so she doesn’t forget about me as she watches tv or scrolls through socials. Sometimes she does forget, and I have to remind her that I MUST have her attention by giving her a little love bite. It’s just a gentle reminder and nothing to be fearful of. Remember I said I’m a diva and need all the attention, well this is my way of ensuring that. Are you a talkative person? I sure hope so because I know that I am! I talk to my foster Mom throughout the day. Usually, to announce my presence in the morning, to remind her to feed me, or sometimes while she is cooking too. I also love watching birds and squirrels from the slider door. I do love being pet! Sometimes I’ll even roll over for a belly rub! Those are the best! You may notice while I’m on my back that I do not have front claws, but I do have my back claws. I occasionally like to pretend like I have front claws and wrap my paws around my foster Moms arm and might bite because I get so excited that we’re playing. It doesn’t last long though so just take your hand away or walk away and that will stop me. Please go to the BestPals.org website to complete an application so that you can meet me.
