Ren is a sweet and gentle soul who starts off a little cautious, but give him some space and patience, and you’ll quickly see his affectionate side shine through. Over time, he’s grown more confident and trusting – even doing well when meeting multiple new people.

Ren loves companionship. He’ll follow you from room to room, happy just to sit nearby and keep you company. He’s also not shy about asking for attention: he’ll come up to you for pets and kisses, and if he feels he hasn’t gotten enough, he’ll gently paw at you to ask for more!

When it comes to playtime, Ren enjoys birdwatching from the window, chasing shadows (his absolute favorite!), and playing with toys – especially anything squeaky. He’s generally a quiet kitty but can be quite chatty when you talk to him. He’s got a silly, lovable personality and is full of charm.

Medical considerations: Ren had a urate bladder stone surgically removed in April 2025. While the exact cause is unknown, a normal bile acid test makes a liver shunt unlikely. To help prevent recurrence, he should stay on a specialty diet consisting primarily of canned food to support urinary health and hydration. He currently eats Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein (dry food) and Royal Canin Renal E (wet food). Because urate stones can recur, ongoing dietary management and regular veterinary monitoring are essential.

The Avery Foundation is a foster-based and volunteer-run rescue. Every TAF rescue cat is vet checked, vaccinated, treated for parasites, spay/neutered, microchipped and receive any necessary additional medical care.

Our adoption process involves an application, reference check, interview, and home visit prior to placement. From the time we receive your application through the screening process adoptions can take a couple weeks. We thank everyone who takes the time to apply but only those who best fit the cat’s requirements will be contacted.
