Meet Paulette: From Feral to Forever Friend! Once a wary wanderer, Paulette's journey to household darling is a true testament to love! For months, this clever girl eluded our attempts, until a litter of kittens, and her sole survivor, brought her into our care. Expecting a challenge, we were showered with affection instead. Paulette, it turns out, hasn't got a mean bone in her body! This sweet, loving cat craves companionship. She spends her days napping in her favorite spots (often a cozy blanket or the stairs) but is always ready to greet you at the door with a happy meow or be involved in whatever you're doing. She adores being held and will happily snuggle you close. Want to pick her up? She even understands a special hand signal! Wet food is her absolute favorite, and she cherishes her special blanket. Paulette thrives on being part of the action. She's done wonderfully with our other cats, though her playful nips to their behinds are a charming quirk! She'd be happiest as an only cat or with another very friendly feline. She truly loves everyone she meets, even if she just wants to lay on the floor next to your bed. If she isn't allowed the run of the roost, she will definitely let you know! For this reason, a home without apartment living is ideal. Paulette is the most lovable and friendly cat we've ever known, and she's ready to fill your home with purrs and endless cuddles. Come meet this extraordinary girl – she's waiting to be your best friend! Paulette is from a stray surrender.

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.
