Ringo

My story

Hello, my furiends! Meet the one and only Ringo! You wouldn’t believe the transformation this fluffy guy has been through! When Ringo was rescued from the mean streets of Rhode Island, he was malnourished, messy, and covered in mats—but just look at him now! This handsome, chunky hunk of a cat is living proof of what a little love (and a lot of good food) can do. At just 3 years old, Ringo has already spent two years at Scruffy Paws, and while we love his daily greetings at the shelter, it’s time for this silly, fluffernutter to find his furever home. He’s got a goofy grin, a heart full of love, and an undeniable obsession with feather wand toys! His long fur will need a little brushing to keep it soft and shiny, but he’s totally worth the extra effort. While Ringo can be timid at first, a few treats and some playtime will have him jumping and dancing for attention in no time. Ringo will need a home with a confident, people-friendly cat, as he thrives with feline companionship and you can often find him racing and wrestling with his feline friends at the shelter. Ringo has not been tested around dogs or other animals so we are unsure how he'd be with them. Given his shy nature at first, we think adult only home or a home with older, respectful children would be ok. Ringo’s Special Needs Ringo has been diagnosed with feline asthma, which he will have for life. He requires an inhaler mask for treatment and needs a home that can accommodate his condition. Feline asthma can be triggered by dust, smoke, fragrances, and aerosol sprays, so his new family will need to take steps to minimize those irritants. He also requires special respiratory relief litter to keep him breathing easy. We know this might sound like a lot, but trust us—Ringo is worth it. He will reward you with endless love, silly antics, and plenty of purrs! We’re happy to guide his adopters through any questions or concerns about his inhaler and care. Could Ringo be the perfect addition to your home? Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
