Prepare to fall for Marbles, a delightful feline searching for a patient and loving forever family! This beautiful girl arrived at the rescue alongside her sister, Sage. While they’d adore a home together, they can absolutely shine as individuals too. Marbles is a gentle soul who is steadily finding her footing in her foster home. She's doing wonderfully with the resident cats and another foster feline, showing she’s comfortable sharing her space with other whiskered friends. However, Marbles is quite timid when it comes to humans and new situations. She tends to be a quiet observer, often relocating when people move about, and hasn't had much exposure to children yet. Despite her shyness, Marbles is making wonderful progress! She's slowly but surely adjusting to home life and becoming more comfortable with each passing day. She's still learning to embrace human touch and will need a patient family willing to give her the time and space she needs to truly open up and trust. The good news? Marbles is highly motivated by treats – the way to her heart just might be through her stomach! When it's playtime, Marbles reveals her inner kitten, joyfully batting at small mice, chasing sticks, and engaging with her favorite toys. If you're looking for a rewarding experience helping a sweet cat build confidence and unleash her playful spirit, Marbles is waiting for you. Could you be the loving home to help this precious girl truly blossom? Marbles is from a stray surrender with her sister.

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.
