Ruby 14 歲時，她的世界消失了。
陪伴她一生的主人去世了，她來到 NAWS Humane Society 的籠舍裡，無法理解為什麼再也沒有一個家在等著她。沒有人想領養一隻老貓：訪客都在尋找幼貓的活力，直接略過這隻 14 歲毛女孩疲憊的雙眼；而她 3 次以為自己終於會有家時，卻又再次失望。
@franflight Ruby is still looking for her forever home. Ruby likes other cats but prefers a home without dogs. She has chronic kidney disease, and is partially blind. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions and if you are serious about adopting Ruby please submit a cat adoption application at nawsus.org under the tab adoption center. Let’s find Ruby her home!! I’m sending you guys all of my love. 🫂🤍 #adopt #adoptdontshop #cat #catsoftiktok #catadoption

然而，她充滿愛的個性終於打動了一位領養人，一切都準備就緒，讓她能在同一週回家，但 Ruby 的身體無法撐過等待。她在照顧她的工作人員和志工陪伴下離世，始終沒能看見那扇正等著她的陽光窗戶。她沒有得到大家都希望她擁有的童話結局，但她離開時知道，直到生命的最後一天，仍有人選擇了她。
@franflight I’m beyond heartbroken to be delivering this news to you all. Ruby was struggling with kidney disease and was clearly at the last leg of her life. My heart is forever grateful to Ruby’s fosters Shelly and Maria who fought for her well being and who selflessly dedicated so much time to making sure she was comfortable during her last days. Thank you to Kendra, who was going to be adopting Ruby. Thank you Kendra, for being so kind during this entire process. Thank you for being so willing to open your home to a senior animal who truly needed a home. This is the reality of trying to help the senior cats. They are the ones who truly need us to show up for them. Thank you to everyone who shared Ruby’s story as it did lead to finding a wonderful home who was going to welcome her with open arms. I’m sending you guys all of my love, and I’m sorry for such a sad update. I hope you all feel both of our love from afar. #cat #adoptdontshop #catsoftiktok #catadoption #adopt
