About Rue (Domestic short hair) in Oakland

Rue is waiting for you at Oakland Animal Services in United States. Hi, I'm Rue. I'm 14 years old, with mostly white fur and a few spots, and I've got one folded ear that gives me a bit of character—and a story to go with it. A kindhearted person found me injured and made sure I got to a vet hospital, and I've healed up since then, but I think it explains why I appreciate the quieter side of life these days. I might not hear everything, but I've gotten pretty good at noticing what matters—like when it's time for food or when someone's about to pet me. I'll lean in, nudge your hand, and make sure you understand that stopping is not part of the plan. Occasionally I make unexpected noises like a low growl or hiss that seem to confuse people, but I promise I'm not being difficult—I just have my own way of talking. I'd be happiest in a calm, quiet home where I can settle in, enjoy my meals, and keep things low-key. I'll be honest with you—I'm a senior, and I've got a few medical things going on, like a heart murmur and early kidney disease, but I'm stable and feeling pretty good these days. I eat well, I like attention, and I'm not asking for much beyond a comfortable place to land and some affection. I've been through a lot, but I would love a retirement home of my own. I'm eating well, seeking love, and enjoying life—I simply need someone with a big heart to offer me comfort, patience, and a cozy place to spend my golden years. Could it be you?
