My story

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

Meet Harry: The Shy Silver Tabby

Harry is a charming silver gray tabby with a sprinkle of white on his belly and paws. At just 10 months old, this sweet boy is still finding his way in the world. Initially shy around new people, he’s slowly learning to trust and has made wonderful progress with his foster mom.

Harry has discovered that a gentle pet from a human can feel delightful, and he’s starting to show his affection by rubbing against legs and approaching for sniffs at mealtime. When he’s not exploring his newfound comfort, you can find him snuggled up under the blankets, enjoying the warmth and safety of his cozy spot.

With a little patience and love, Harry is ready to blossom into a loyal companion. Could you be the one to give him his forever home?

 

Harry is a young, light grey tabby with a heart as gentle as his soft fur. Rescued from a precarious situation near road construction by a compassionate Good Samaritan, Harry is now in search of a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished.

As the shyest member of his group, Harry takes his time to warm up to new experiences. He prefers to observe from a distance, but he's making brave strides by coming out to eat while his foster mom is still in the room. He’s taken tentative steps toward human interaction, approaching for a gentle sniff before retreating to his safe spot.

Harry is a quiet, curious kitty who loves to play and explore his surroundings. His reserved nature is paired with a deep curiosity and a sense of wonder that makes every day an opportunity for discovery.

With patience and a nurturing touch, Harry will flourish into a loving companion who appreciates the quieter moments and gentle companionship. If you have a cozy corner and a tender heart to offer, Harry is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

Harry was a stray. 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.  

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.

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.
