My story

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

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



Bonded to Philomeana

Hello, my name is Felina. I was brought into rescue because my owner couldn't give me the attention she thought I deserved. I am an American short hair guinea pig, so I am very outgoing, curious, and clever - especially if you have food. I wheek and get very happy if you give me a little strawberry or new hay. I am timid when trying to be picked up, but I do enjoy being pet when I am in my cage and need some love. I live with my best friend Philomeana and we have a great time together. 

 
We came into rescue with foot spurs which may have been caused by poor flooring or lack of trimming. They have taken good care of us and trimmed them down so we are healing. We will need to have a really clean cage to make sure we continue to heal properly. Foot spurs are really common in guinea pigs and we shouldn't need ongoing care for them.

 

Felina was 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.

 

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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.
