Chatty, sweet, social, affectionate—that's me, Rufus!
I was found as a stray wandering Durham and ended up at the county shelter. The shelter felt overwhelming and scary, and I became so stressed that I started tearing my own fur out. The shelter put out a call for help, and my foster mom stepped up to bring me home so I could relax and show my true personality.
I love to be close to my humans. I will be your loyal companion who never strays far from your side. My foster mom says I'm very smart. I do need to be the only pet in the home, as I have no desire to share my space with another cat or dog. I can be unsure of myself in new situations, but once I get to know you, we'll be best friends!
