Ray Ray's Web Page

Hi, I am Ray Ray, a sweet 7 year-old, dark gray Blue Persian who is happiest in a lap. I have golden eyes. My new pictures make be look more brown than gray. I am a special needs kitty who recognizes his name and will come to you. Dr. Kendra did a wellness check when I arrived at my new foster home. I was dragging my back legs around. The vet thinks I suffered neurological damage at some point in my life. I need to exercise the muscles in my back legs and have been doing that by walking on carpet. With stronger muscles and meds I can walk almost like a regular cat now, as long as I am on carpet. I have gotten better at walking on tile floors, as long as I keep moving. If I stop, my feet go in different directions. I, of course, do not know that I am a special needs kitty. When I fall, it is just part of life and I get up and start over. When I want attention, I stand up on my back legs and paw at mom's leg until she picks me up. Some say I am the purrfect cat as you will never find me on the kitchen counter or table. If I unexpectedly get out of the house, I am unable to jump over the fence.

My story . . . My family relinquished me to a shelter. I was overlooked at the shelter because of my special needs. There were so many cats in need of homes. Persian cats require frequent brushing, and a lot of time and attention. The person who adopts me must be very cat savvy and be willing to give me the care and TLC I need.

I want a loving, forever home of my own. My ideal home is with a single woman, preferably retired, in a single-story carpeted home. Even with the portable pet stairs, I cannot make it up onto a bed altho I have tried a couple of times. My foster mom is hoping with time I will manage to do it. It is all about being able to push off with my back legs which I currently cannot do. My foster mom does not know how I will react to a "cat friendly" dog.

My wish as we Spring forward is a loving, forever indoor home -- Adopt me!
