🐾 Nice List/Naughty List - Day 10

😻 Today, Rocky (pictured right) is on the nice list for coming down to a lower cube and getting pets, and eating all of his food! He is getting more and more brave each day!

🙀 Boo, (black cat pictured left) is on the naughty list for staring down Tofu. Tofu is getting better from a stomach bug & Boo is seemingly obsessed with him. What gives, Boo?

🐾 Nice List/Naughty List - Day 9

😻 Barbara is on the Nice List today because we had some special visitors and she was the most perfect angel! (Just LOOK at those adorable paws!) She showed her strength by climbing up high on the wall, and she meowed her very cute meow, and connected with folks nuzzling right into their pets!

🙀 Anakin is practically perfect, and is only on the Naughty List today for an action he *almost* took. We had to separate him from this tiny kitten because he was lifting his paw to give her a smack. I have a feeling that next time he meets her, he will be a total gentleman.

Special thanks and warm holiday wishes to AIA Toledo for selecting RubyCats as their chapter donation drive nonprofit. Thank you to all the AIA Toledo members and firms who donated to our Meowvelous organization! You’ve helped make it possible for Toledo’s first cat cafe to continue to have a successful rescue operation in Downtown Toledo & are assisting us in ending our 1st year in the coziest of ways! It was such a pleasure to see Erin of Engage Studio Architects as she made the special holiday delivery!

🐾 Nice Cat/Naughty Cat (Day 8)

😻 We had the MOST cuddly Saturday yesterday at the cat cafe, as evidenced by the photos below. Anakin is featured in the TWO photos on the right, and made the NICE LIST because he was the sweetest and cuddliest boy with all of his kitty friends yesterday!

🙀 And Simba has made our Naughty List because of his Churu habit, lol! Don’t let that peaceful hidey hole photo deceive you, he becomes a different guy all together when presented with Churu! One of our visitors, Sarah, said yesterday that he “was an absolute fiend with the squeezy treat and tried to steal it”!!! We still love you Simba, and we will keep working on teaching you some manners!

🐾 Nice Cat/Naughty Cat - Day 7!

😻 Today, Rocky is on the nice list because it was his first full day in the Cat Cafe and he came out and ate food and was a sweetie! Although he hid most of the day, we are so proud of him! 

🙀 Today, Susie is on the naughty list because when our volunteer Matt attempted to put her front leg back in her cute little Grinch sweatshirt she hissed at him… No worries - she is “all bark, & no bite” as the saying goes! We were able to put her little leg back in her sweatshirt! She is outfitted, and ready for visitors tomorrow! 

We can’t wait to see you on Saturday! We have adorable stocking stuffers just perfect for the cat lover in your life, as well as beautiful artwork by Dani Herrera from paperDENIMart, plus you can meet the artist from 3 - 6pm!

🐾 Nice Cat/Naughty Cat (Day 6)

⭐️ No, your eyes do not deceive you! Boo is on the Nice List AAAAAAND the Naughty List!

😻 Boo was SUCH a nice boy at the vet! We’re pretty sure that he thought we were at Anthony Wayne Animal Hospital so he could do a handsome photo shoot.

🙀 Boo might be considered a little bit naughty since he got a VERY thorough examination and all signs point to him being healthy! (That’s good!) He hasn’t been as hungry as usual but he seems healthy in every other way. Was he faking some symptoms to get a little individual attention? Hard to say, but we are keeping a close eye on him just in case.

If his appetite doesn’t return to normal, we may need to take him in for some testing. We have the Joyce Fae Jacobs Cat Care Fund for these type of situations. If you’re looking for someplace to make a donation at the end of the year, we would be so thankful if you thought of the kitties!
