My story

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

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



Hey there! I'm Wilson, and I'm here to introduce you to a hunk of furry love. Okay, so my foster mom says I'm a little on the rotund side, but that just means there's more of me to adore, right? I started life as a stray, and my foster mom kindly welcomed me into her furry family. However, there's a small hitch in our household dynamics - the resident cats and I (all males) don't exactly see eye to eye. My foster mom tried her best to make it work, but it's become a tad too stressful for everyone, including me. I'm used to having the freedom to roam outside, so being kept indoors can be a bit tough for me. I love to watch the world outside the window and occasionally request outdoor adventures. If you have a catio or some safe way to let me enjoy the outdoors, that would make me one happy kitty!

I have a bit of a defensive streak when it comes to most cats, probably because I've been a target in the past and had my share of injuries. So, I'd thrive best as your one and only furry best friend. However, if you have a dog who's cool with me, that could work too. I might be shy initially, but with time, I'll warm up and show you just how playful and affectionate I can be.

While I'm not a fan of being held, I do enjoy curling up on laps and snuggling with you, especially at night. Oh, and I'm quite the food enthusiast, so mealtime is always a highlight of my day.

One of the cutest things about me is how my head shakes in circles when I'm talked to or approached. It's super goofy and undeniably cute! In fact, here's a video of me for your enjoyment:   Good morning, Wilson!   My daily routine is pretty straightforward - breakfast, a preference for dry food, a few naps, play sessions, more naps, and of course, additional rounds of delightful meals.

So, if you're looking for a loving, quirky, and somewhat round companion, I'm your guy. Let's make each other's lives more colorful and joyful. Reach out to make me a part of your family today! 

 

Wilson 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.

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.
