My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.*

Looking for a truly special companion? If you have a soft spot for the ‘undercat’ and love being a caretaker, then keep reading—you might just be the perfect match for me!

Hi, I’m Grizzly. I started life as a happy-go-lucky kitten in a loving home until life took an unexpected turn, leaving me a bit lost after my family separated. Through all the changes, I’ve kept my sweet spirit, and I’m on a journey to find a patient, loving person to call my own.

I’m currently on a weight-loss plan and already down to 17 pounds! My mobility is improving by the day, although I still prefer low-sided litter boxes. I'm even active enough to play chase with the other cat in the home! I do have some challenges: I’m incontinent with my bowel movements, but I use the litter box for urine and go on a tarp next to the litter box nearly every time, making it easy to manage.

If you’re willing to see past my quirks, you’ll find I’m an affectionate, laid-back guy who adores tummy rubs, chin scratches, and brushing sessions. I’m also a pro at nail trims! If you’ve got room in your heart for a gentle, couch-loving buddy, I’d love to be your new best friend.

Grizzly is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based rescue, meaning no animals are available at the Princeton, MN office for public viewing or adoption. All animals in our care reside in foster homes with few special exceptions for our adoption center animals, who are housed at our partnering facilities temporarily before adoption. To meet a Ruff Starter you may be interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website.

More about this rescue

Ruff Start Rescue is a foster-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit companion animal rescue that primarily serves communities throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as states in the south with severe pet overpopulation. We rescue stray, neglected, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats as well as ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other critters. Most of our work is accomplished by a complex network of volunteers, fosters, and supporters, all of whom come together to save thousands of animals each year.

Since our inception, we’ve firmly believed that a home is usually a far more desirable environment than a shelter or a kennel for most companion animals in need of a forever family. As a result, we rely nearly exclusively on volunteers to provide foster homes for rescued pets until they find their adoptive homes. Please note: this means no animals are available at our facility for public viewing.

Each pet in our care is provided with routine vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, microchipped, given internal and external parasite preventatives, and tested for common bloodborne pathogens such as heartworm and feline leukemia. Advanced veterinary care is provided to any animal that requires such services before adoption.

If you are interested in fostering, adopting, or volunteering, please fill out an applicable application at our website: www.ruffstartrescue.org.
