Meet Gus Gus is a 5-year-old petite black beauty with striking green eyes and an even more striking heart. Though she may be tiny for her age, what she lacks in size she makes up for in sweetness. Gus is incredibly snuggly, friendly, and affectionate—she’s the kind of cat who loves to curl up close and soak in all the love she can get. After being unfairly thrown out on the street, Gus has shown nothing but resilience and trust. She’s ready to leave her hard past behind and is searching for a furever home where she can feel safe, cherished, and adored—just as she deserves. Gus would thrive in a home where she can enjoy cozy naps, gentle affection, and a lifetime of love. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion with a soft soul and a big heart, Gus is ready to give you all of hers. Gus is from a stray surrender with his brother.

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.
