Hello, I’m Ellie.
Before we go any further, we should address the obvious:
Yes, I look like I’m judging you.
Yes, I look mildly disappointed.
But I promise — it’s just my face.
Because underneath this permanently grumpy expression is a sweet, gentle, mellow old lady who lives for lap time and affection. I absolutely love being pet, and once you start, I’ll purr like a little motor, rub all over you, and climb right into your lap as if I pay rent there.
I’d prefer to be the only cat in the home (I like to be the center of attention — I’ve earned that), but I don’t mind respectful dogs who understand that I am a senior woman of distinction.
Now, I do have diabetes, which means I come with a tiny bit of extra maintenance — think of me as a luxury model. I’m managed with insulin and a low-carb wet food diet, and I’m very brave and polite for my quick little pokes. My foster mom can teach you everything, and honestly? I’m worth it.
I also have long fur that can get a bit tangled, so I’ll need someone willing to help me stay comfy and fabulous… because even with this face, I do have standards.
So if you’re looking for a cat who looks like she’s filing a complaint with customer service… but actually just wants to snuggle in your lap and be adored for the rest of her golden years, I’m your girl.
Will you be my forever human?
Love,
Ellie

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.
