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 Triss, our tiny, enchanting little lady with a heart full of potential, just waiting to softly blossom! At just a month into her journey with us, Triss is still a bit shy, a quiet observer often found with an adorable blep (a tiny tongue poke!) gracing her sweet face. Triss  may only have two teeth after her dental, but she doesn’t let that slow her down—she’s happily embraced her new life as a devoted wet-food connoisseur.

When the mood strikes her, Triss absolutely melts into cuddles, seeking warmth and reassurance in your arms. She's a grumbly little gem, and it's quite charming how she makes the same distinctive grumble whether she's enjoying a good scratch or politely declining an approach! But don't let her timid nature fool you – beneath that reserved exterior lies a warm, purring cat longing for connection, especially with her sister, Yenn.

Triss isn't just a cat; she's a testament to the power of patience and gentle love. She has the makings of an incredibly devoted and loving companion, she just needs a quiet, understanding home where she can truly build her confidence at her own pace. Triss would also do best in a home with another confident kitty or with her sister, Yenn. Could you be the special person who helps Triss unfurl her wings and discover the confident, cuddly cat we know she can be?

Come meet Triss and let her subtle charm and delightful bleps steal your heart!

Triss 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.

To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.

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.
