Ray absolutely loves to be close to his people.
Though he’s not the lap dog type, his gentle presence is enough to melt your heart, whether he’s resting his chin on your leg or simply hanging out on the couch beside you 💞

Ray can be a shy guy at first, but his true, spunky self shines through once he feels comfy.
You’ll be treated to his signature happy stomps and circles when you come home, plus lots of tiny grunts and snorts when he’s feeling extra-excited — a hilarious touch to his already charming personality! ✨

Oh this ray of sunshine? His name is Ray, of course!
He’s already earned the nickname “Sweet Baby Ray” from his foster parents, and it’s easy to see why.
At 12 years young, he really is as sweet as they come, with a calm & loving personality that brings joy wherever he goes 🧵

He'll do great with someone who's comfortable with easy meds, has a flexible enough schedule to get him back to our clinic for the occasional rechecks & who understands that — while his health journey may be uncertain — his sweet personality makes him absolutely worth it.

Ed is currently doing pretty well all things considered, but we're not sure of his long-term prognosis & really want to get him out of the shelter before he has a chance to catch an illness with his weakened immune system ❤️🩹

While Ed is perfect in so many ways (chatty, confident, full of love & purrs), he arrived with some not-so-perfect medical conditions, including:
💖 Mystery anemia
💖 Feline leukemia (contagious only to other cats)
💖 A chronic autoimmune condition called "pillowfoot" managed with daily antibiotics

This prince, this smokeshow, this baby angel man is Ed!
Yes, he is cross-eyed & yes, he WILL steal your girl.
Ed was found in a local cemetery & is looking for a foster home where he can enjoy some much-needed pampering while we work to get him healthier 🧵

We've started Cable on medication to treat his cold & reduce the inflammation on his mouth.
What he’d really love, though, is to find a home where he can enjoy all the snuggles & cozy blankets that his heart desires ❤️🩹
