RyfkahBreed: Sphynx Cat
Gender: Spayed Female July 22, 2004 - January 3, 2020 Ryfkah's Legacy (project raising funds for the shelter Ryfkah came from) Ryfkah came to me through the shelter where I was working. She was surrendered by her owner of 10 years, but came home with me after a VERY short stay at the shelter. It was love at first sight, and she seemed quite enamored with my Bald head (had just shaved for charity) She was very Demanding, but loved anyone who would pet her and hold her. She wanted to be with you always, purring and rubbing her cheeks against your cheeks. She could often be heard chirping as she looked for you. When she did find you, her #1 goal was to remove all the flesh from your body, with nothing but her tongue. She loved spending hot summer days rolled up in a blanket in a heated cat bed. It was NEVER hot enough for her. She was closest with Toph the Dacshund and Azula the beagle mix, but tolerates Elphaba (tortie), Ofelia (tabby), and to some degree Stormageddon (the brainless fluff). She could often be seen cuddled up with her warm little Dog-friend. She loved the kids, as they gave pets. Even when they licked her she was happy about it. She passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on January 3rd, 2020. It appears to have been heart related, and left us devastated. She was a few months shy of 16 years old. |
