My story

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

*Bonded with Shadow*

Meet Spirit and Shadow, two kitties with a deep bond who are young and full of life! They will need to be adopted together. Click here to learn more about Shadow.

Spirit is estimated to be around 1-2 years old. This polydactyl male is a true lover boy who adores affection. He's known for reaching out his paw, asking for more pets, and eagerly awaits meal times, especially when he's served wet food. Although he may greet you with a hiss initially, don't be fooled—his meows quickly follow, eager for cuddles and attention. Spirit is a good eater, well-mannered with the litter box, and an all-around delightful companion waiting to steal your heart!

Despite his initial shyness, Spirit's heart is as big as his paws, and he's a sucker for affection. Pet him once, and he'll be jumping up for more, but beware - once you start, it's hard to stop.  He likes to playfully grab your hand with his huge, love-filled paws.

Shadow has a flirty attitude and a "look but don't touch" personality. She'll grace you with a sniff and a vocal greeting, but her independent spirit demands respect. Energetic and playful, she's the life of the party, especially when Spirit is around. She's independent, yet reliant on Spirit and thrives in his company. Keep an eye on your pens, though - Shadow has a thing with stashing them away in her secret hideaway.

Shadow and Spirit share a deep bond that transcends words. While they may be shy with new faces, their connection is evident in the way they support and comfort each other. Together, they navigate the world with confidence, knowing that as long as they have each other, they can conquer anything that comes their way.

 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'd like to donate towards this pet's care, you can donate to our Animal Care Fund. Our Animal Care Fund supports the medical and veterinary needs for all Ruff Start Rescue animals. You'll be able to enter this pet's name on the second page of the donation form.

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.
