Ruby, CAT
Ruby was brought to us in December 2008 by a wonderful lady who found her hit by a car on the side of the road. Ruby had no identification but was such a sweet cat we decided to fix her up and keep her until we could find the owner. We performed surgery to remove her badly broken tail and over weeks of healing no one came forward to claim her. We've since named her 'Ruby' and promoted her to a permanent position of Clinic Cat. Ruby seems very happy to have found a new safe home but not every animal is as lucky as her. That is why we urge all pet owners to permanently identify their pets with a tattoo and/or microchip. A collar with identification is also recommended but remember these are often lost!
