Rubin - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Meet Rubin — The Snowstorm Survivor With a Gentle Soul

Rubin is a three‑year‑old, smaller‑built sweetheart who survived the outdoors and a winter snowstorm before rescue. Once malnourished and terrified, he has transformed into a loyal, bedtime‑snuggling companion who now sleeps curled up with his foster every night.

He’s discovering the good life — toys, soft beds, and bird‑watching from his cat tree — all brand‑new joys for him. Rubin isn’t a fan of being picked up, but he makes up for it by choosing your lap or settling right beside you with quiet devotion.

Rubin does wonderfully with other cats and would thrive in a calm, dog‑free home with adults or older kids. A patient adopter and a friendly feline buddy will help him continue blossoming at his own pace.If you’re looking for a gentle, grateful companion with a survivor’s heart, Rubin is ready to love and be loved.

If you are interested in any of our kitties, you must complete an online cat adoption application available at www.rescueahart.org/adopt/cat-application. The application will put you in touch with a HART volunteer.

All HART kittens and cats are vet checked, combo tested, spayed or neutered, up to date on all vaccines, microchipped, and on flea and tick preventative.
