Ruby’s Journey to Paws4ever
Ruby’s beginnings were steeped in the hushed reverence of high fashion. She slinked into the world backstage at a Milan fashion show, a tiny meteorite of grey fur nestled amongst a flurry of sequined gowns and towering models. The commotion barely fazed her. Once when the lead designer fretted over a missing earring, Ruby, with an air of feline nonchalance, batted it out from underneath a rack of tulle.
From that moment, she was muse and mascot, a living good luck charm who could silence a pre-show panic with a single emerald gaze. Cameras adored her. She’d bat playfully at dangling diamantes, weave between models’ legs during final struts, and occasionally leave a strategically placed hairball (christened “haute fuzz couture”) on a particularly pretentious designer’s podium.
Everything changed when the fashion house relocated to a sleek, glass building. Ruby, a creature of tradition, found the sterile environment utterly lacking. She pined for the labyrinthine backstage with its overflowing fabric bins and the comforting scent of mothballs. One starlit night, she staged a daring escape, slipping out a fire exit and disappearing into the convoluted alleyways of Milan.
Her glamorous life gave way to a life of scavenging and the occasional rooftop serenade (sung, of course, to the tune of “I’m too sexy for my fur”). Eventually, she found herself in North Carolina, a far cry from the fashion houses of Milan.
While she misses the backstage chaos, a secret part of her craves the warmth of a home, a place where she can cuddle up on a lap and bat at dangling earrings (real or imaginary). So here she waits at Paws4ever, hoping for someone to recognize her undeniable talent for posing and, perhaps more importantly, her capacity for love. After all, even supermodels sometimes need snuggles.
