My story

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

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



*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.*

Meet Lady Ladi! This sweet grand dame is looking for a loving home where she can be adored and pampered. Her sweetness can't be overstated. She loves people and cannot get enough pets and brushing -- I'm saying this lady LOVES a good brushing. She has been slowly learning how to play -- mostly enjoying just swatting at a simple string. While she is a sweetheart to humans, she does not show any interest in other cats. But she doesn't fear them either. She will give a little grumble when she sees them and moves along. She would probably do best as the only cat in the home, but would likely be fine with another mature cat who has calm energy. Some of her quirks include: she is particular about her food -- she seems to only really like chicken wet food and it needs to be quite mushy and soupy as she mostly licks up her food instead of taking bites. And while she always goes in the litterbox, she sometimes stands up while urinating, so her current setup is just a large covered litterbox that gets changed and wiped down often. She is declawed in the front, so she is also averse to having her feet touched. This calm, quiet, precious old lady deserves a home as loving as she is!

Ladi is from a local impound. 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.
