My story

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

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



Prepare to be captivated by Mimi, a truly special feline companion ready to fill your home with quiet devotion! This sweet and gentle girl possesses a unique charm, starting with her adorable polydactyl paws – those extra toes on her front paws just add to her endearing personality!

Mimi is a calm and observant soul, preferring to take in the world from a comfortable distance. She’s not one to demand attention, but rather enjoys quietly watching the rhythm of your home, becoming a peaceful presence you'll cherish. Don't let her reserved nature fool you; Mimi doesn't have a mean bone in her precious body. She's incredibly gentle and yearns for connection on her own terms. She also proved to be an excellent and devoted mother to her two beautiful babies, who are also now seeking their forever homes.

Once Mimi feels comfortable and safe, she absolutely melts into pets. Click here to see a video! Her reward for your patience and soft touch? Deep, rumbling purrs that will warm your heart and let you know just how happy she is. She's a cat who thrives on quiet affection and a predictable environment.

If you're seeking a serene and loving companion who will enrich your life with her unique beauty and gentle spirit, Mimi is the cat for you. Give this special polydactyl girl the loving forever home she deserves, and watch her quiet affection blossom into a bond that lasts a lifetime.

Momo is from an owner surrender with her 2 kittens. 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.
