My story

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

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

Penny is a sweet but very timid one-year-old tabby. She’s not your typical older kitten. She’s been through a lot and has changed dramatically in the three weeks she has been with her foster family.

Her deep golden round eyes look at you sweetly but are on guard… unless she’s warmed up to you … She decides. Penny is quite remarkable. She was rescued after escaping from a cage that was left with a note and all her supplies. She was brought to a her foster home where she was allowed to decompress, and after three days, a new Penny emerged.

She has shown to be very agitated by other cats, but recently she seems almost curious. She is not spayed. At this time she would be a cat who needs to take control of human introductions, but she is not a threat. She just needs to lead.

She is fully litter trained, eats and drinks enough and is a healthy, lean cat. She does adore her human foster sister: giving kisses, purrs and sleeps against her through the night.

Stay tuned for videos. Please feel free to reach out to Ruff Start Rescue if you have any questions about this young unraveling girl. She might be the perfect lap kitty for you if you’d like to be part of her story.

Penny is from a stray 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.

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.
