My story

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

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



Meet Bella Bella!

Formerly an outdoor cat, Bella Bella is well-socialized and accustomed to indoor living. In foster care, she has been kept separate from the others for various reasons, but she's shown her affectionate side. She used to enjoy lying near a male cat when they were outside. Bella Bella has also been around small children, so she’s familiar with their energy. While I’m not sure how she’d do with dogs, her tiny meow always greets me when I enter her room, and she loves attention. She enjoys cuddling on or next to me but also appreciates her alone time.

Bella Bella loves her K&H heated bed in the winter and watching birds and squirrels through her two favorite windows. She’s quite the entertainer, often tearing around the room and playing with anything she finds. She has a unique habit of “swimming” in her water, so I have to change it frequently. Bella Bella is consistent with using the litterbox and lets me cut her nails with minimal fuss. Though she doesn’t like being held for long, she’s fine with being picked up.

Once, she got out of her room and chased one of my other cats, so she'll need proper introductions and enough resources to get along with any other felines in the house. Bella Bella is a playful soul, running and jumping around, using her scratch post, and often hiding little toys or ponytail holders in her food, water, or litterbox. Her tail adorably curls under her like a monkey’s, and she has the sweetest tiny meow. She loves to curl up on top of me and then roll off, always keeping things interesting.

Bella Bella is a bundle of joy and quirkiness, ready to bring happiness to her forever home!

Bella Bella 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.

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.
