Ronald's Story

Admitted: January 10th 2023
Breed: Domestic Shorthair - Orange
Weight: 10 lbs 3 oz.
DOB: Born March, 2021
Condition: Ragged, missing a few teeth, and bearing several poorly healed injuries. Otherwise healthy and a true survivor.

Ronald’s story is as colorful and unique as the carnival he once called home. Born into the bustling world of big tops and bright lights, Ronald quickly proved his worth as the carnival’s unofficial rodent control officer. With his sharp instincts and unwavering determination, he kept the food wagons free from pests and the stuffy trailers safe from intruding critters. The carnival crew adored him, often sneaking him scraps from their meals and giving him the best seat in the house when the shows began.

But life under the tent wasn’t without its challenges. The transient nature of carnival life left little room for stability, and Ronald’s body bears the marks of his hard-fought survival. A few poorly healed injuries and missing teeth tell the story of a cat who’s had his share of scrapes and battles, but his spirit remained unbroken.

When the carnival fell on tough times and could no longer afford to feed its furry staff, Ronald was left behind as the troupe moved on. For a while, he wandered the empty fairgrounds, scavenging what little he could find. It wasn’t until a kind-hearted visitor stumbled upon him that his fortunes began to change. Recognizing his resilience and unique history, they brought him to SOL$PUSSY Cat Rescue.

Ronald has settled into his new surroundings with the same grit and determination that kept him alive during his carnival days. While he’s still a bit wary of strangers, he’s shown a surprising affection for gentle head scratches and a warm lap to curl up in. Ronald is looking for a forever home where he can finally enjoy the quiet, steady life he’s never known. He’s a testament to the enduring spirit of survival and the power of second chances.
